Liverpool vs Man Utd prediction (1x2)

Am not too sure the prices will get better than this as time ticks on so am going to grab it at this time. Having watched the first meeting between Jurgen Kloop's Liverpool and Luis Van Gaal's Manchester Utd this season, I would say that odds over even money offers some good value on the hosts to win. Yea, their last game which was a 1-2 win over crystal palace wasn't so convincing for certain. The first goal was a howler from the crystal palace goal keeper who passed the ball to Firminho who did nothing much but cooly slot it pass him. As palace tried to at least earn a point, a late dive by Christian Benteke inside the penalty box saw the referee award a penalty to liverpool albeit to the disappointment of the crystal palace fans who still have to wait for another league game for a league win as they are yet to win a league game in their last 12 matches. Some of liverpool players were given some time off with places on the bench in that game so here I expect the likes of Coutinho, Sturrige and Lallana to all make up a strong starting 11 here. Man Utd are coming from a 1-0 loss to west brom. After the red card to Juan Mata in that game manchester utd players looked to have lacked Ideas on what next to do. They allowed the loss of one player to get into their head as they hardly offered any other serious threat going forward since the send off which showed that they missed their Skipper Wayne Rooney. West brom were rewarded for their persistence and discipline as they got their goal in the 67th minute courtesy of Jose Salomon Rondon after which It was pretty much all over for Man Utd. For this match, Juan Mata is back as his suspensions starts in the FA cup match this weekend. Jese Lingard is suspended which could mean a recall for Memphis Depay. Marouane Fellaini and Valencia could also feature on the bench here. Utd have not been good away from home this season with only 3 wins in their last 12 in all competitions; two of which came against lower division teams in the FA cup. The last match between liverpool and Man Utd saw Liverpool dominate proceedings but their finishers that day lacked the composure and clinicality to get the goals. Rooney's composed finish that day gave utd an all important 3 points. Today, with Rooney absent and Daniel Sturrige leading the line for Liverpool; I expect a possible dominace from liverpool to pay off with goals. A home win is my pred here. GL!
