The biggest rivalry in English football is going down, featuring two of the most successful football clubs in England as Manchester United goes head-to-head with Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday.

Liverpool Preview

This season, Liverpool is unbeaten at home in the league with 12 wins and three losses. Ten of those wins were consecutive.

They are ranked second in the Premier League table.

Mohammed Salah has seen the back of the net seven times against United in their last five meetings in all competitions.

Christiano Ronaldo has lost only once in his last six appearances at Anfield but has failed to score in all five of his away games for United in 2022.

Injury news

Liverpool have no major injury concerns beyond fatigue, but United are missing many players (see the Premier League injury table). Bruno Fernandes is a doubt after being involved in a car crash on Monday morning. Scott McTominay (foot), Edinson Cavani (calf), Luke Shaw (leg), and Fred (hip) are out, while Raphael Varane (muscle) hopes to return at some stage this week.

Prediction

All manner of results come from derbies, but a confident Liverpool team at Anfield is a test United’s defence cannot overcome.

A 3-1 Liverpool win.
