Man United vs Liverpool Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips | FA Cup

Man United vs Liverpool Preview

Man United will host arch-rivals Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup at Old Trafford on March 17.

The hosts enter this game on the back of a decent run of form. With three wins and two defeats in their last five games, United have done fairly well for their results. In that span, they have scored seven goals and conceded six as their inconsistency shows at times. They defeated Everton 2-0 at home in their last Premier League outing and will look to continue in the winning form in the next game as well.

The Reds, on the other hand, enter this game on the back of an eight-game unbeaten run. They have won seven of those, before a 1-1 draw against Manchester City in their last league game. In those eight games, Liverpool have scored a remarkable 22 goals as they continue to show their attacking prowess. They have also conceded just five goals and kept three clean sheets in that time. The Reds will look to carry that forward heading into the next game.

With that said, let’s take a look at the team news coming out from both camps.
