Liverpool vs Manchester United

Current streaks

Recent form

Liverpool

Liverpool have been in scintillating form recently, showcasing their offensive prowess with an impressive 19 goals scored in their last six matches, averaging a remarkable 3.17 goals per game. The Reds are currently enjoying a four-match winning streak, including a high-scoring 6-3 victory against Tottenham Hotspur and a commanding 5-0 away win at West Ham. Their unbeaten run extends to an impressive 23 games, highlighting their consistency and resilience. Liverpool's attacking flair is evident, with 83% of their recent matches featuring over 2.5 goals, while they've managed to keep two clean sheets during this period. Despite their strong offensive output, there's room for improvement defensively, as both teams have scored in 67% of these fixtures. Nevertheless, Liverpool's current form has propelled them to the top of the Premier League table with 45 points from 18 games, cementing their status as title contenders.

Manchester United

Manchester United's recent form has been particularly poor, with the Red Devils suffering a concerning run of four consecutive defeats across all competitions. The team have conceded a worrying 13 goals in their last six matches, averaging 2.17 goals conceded per game, whilst only managing to score 7 goals themselves. Their defensive frailties are further highlighted by their failure to keep a clean sheet in their last 8 games. Despite a brief glimmer of hope with back-to-back wins against Manchester City and Plzen, United's subsequent performances have been dire, including a high-scoring 4-3 defeat to Tottenham in the League Cup and a heavy 3-0 home loss to Bournemouth. Their current 14th position in the league table with just 22 points from 19 games underscores the severity of their poor run of form.

Recent home/away form

Liverpool

Liverpool have been in formidable form at home, boasting an impressive five-match unbeaten run with four consecutive victories before a draw against Fulham. The Reds have been particularly solid defensively, keeping four clean sheets in their last six home games, including shutouts against strong opponents like Manchester City and Real Madrid. Their attacking prowess is equally noteworthy, with Liverpool scoring an average of 2.5 goals per game and netting four times in a commanding victory over Bayer Leverkusen. The team's overall goal difference of +12 in these six matches underscores their dominance at Anfield. Interestingly, half of these games have seen over 2.5 goals, highlighting Liverpool's ability to produce high-scoring encounters, whilst also maintaining a tight defence that has conceded only 0.5 goals per game on average.

Manchester United

Manchester United's recent away form has been inconsistent, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches on the road. The Red Devils have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in any of these games and conceding an average of 1.83 goals per match. Their attack has been somewhat productive, scoring 1.33 goals per game, but it hasn't been enough to overcome their defensive frailties. A particularly high-scoring match was the 4-3 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup, contributing to the impressive average of 3.17 total goals per game across these six away fixtures. United have shown moments of quality, notably in their 2-1 victory over local rivals Manchester City, but their poor league position of 14th reflects their overall struggles on the road. The team's inability to string together a consistent run of results away from home is evident, with no streak of more than two consecutive wins or losses in this period.
