Who will win Liverpool vs Manchester United?

We've picked out two betting tips for the game which you can back at Betano.

Recommended bet 1: Liverpool to win 3-0 @ 15/2 with Betano

Liverpool continue to set the pace thanks to a fruitful festive period featuring Premier League wins over Tottenham, Leicester and West Ham in which the Reds racked up an impressive 14 goals.
It's hard to see them letting up against United, who have been put to the sword by lesser teams than the league leaders in recent matches, losing 3-0 at home to Bournemouth, 2-0 at Wolves and 2-0 at home to Newcastle in their last three matches. The Red Devils have suffered a couple of Anfield hammerings in recent seasons and, with confidence seemingly at an all-time low, Amorim's men look to be in the firing line again. Liverpool have conceded just six goals on their own patch in the Premier League and can dominate without shipping a goal.

Recommended bet 2: Virgil van Dijk anytime goalscorer @ 13/2 with Betano

Goalscorer bettors will look to the likes of Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo and the sublime Mo Salah to pile on the misery for United, but it could pay to take a chance on Virgil van Dijk finding the net at any time. Liverpool's towering centre-half has only scored once this season and he remains a more important part of the team at the other end of the pitch, but he will be licking his lips at the prospect of facing a hapless United defence. The Red Devils have obvious issues when it comes to defending set-pieces and there's potential for Liverpool's skipper to cause chaos in the visitors' box.
