There is a huge match-up in the Premier League on Sunday, as Manchester United will play host to Liverpool. It was the reverse match in the first round that sparked a change of coach in Manchester United, who fell hard in Liverpool. The match-up is now reversed and the Red Devils will look for revenge.

Manchester United (15-5-6) did a really good job in the round of 16 of the FA Cup, when they beat Chelsea by 2-0 on the road and moved to the quarter-finals. But in their previous match they lost by 2-0 at home against PSG in the Champions League and are in a tough spot. Even so, that was their only loss in 13 matches since coach Solskjaer took over. Manchester United are now 4th in the league table with 51 points, just one ahead of Chelsea and Arsenal, and have also been solid at home (7-1-4).
Liverpool (20-1-5) got stuck in a frustrating goal-less draw at home against Bayern Munich in the Champions League and are also in a tough spot now. In their last match for the Premier League they had a really easy job in a 0-3 home win over Bournemouth. Liverpool are undefeated in their last six matches in all competitions (3-0-3), keeping three clean sheets. They are now 2nd in the league table with 65 points, just as many as Manchester City who have one more match.

Manchester United have been excellent as hosts against Liverpool over the past decade, losing just once here (9-1-2). But Liverpool have scored in each of their last four trips here. Something similar could be in the books here, but I will back the home team.
