As the Premier League season intensifies, all eyes turn to Old Trafford this Sunday, where Manchester United will clash with league leaders Liverpool in a fixture that's more than just a game—it's a storied rivalry that ignites passion across the globe. With predictions favoring the visitors, could we see an upset or will Liverpool strengthen their grip at the summit?

Key Players - Manchester United

Manchester United's hopes may rest heavily on the shoulders of Anthony Jordan Martial, whose attacking prowess has been on display, albeit with a modest return of 1 goal from 5 shots on target. The Red Devils will also look to Kobbie Boateng Mainoo, a midfielder whose vision and 407 passes could be key in unlocking Liverpool's defense. Not to be overlooked is Victor Jörgen Nilsson Lindelöf, whose defensive rating of 6.85 and contribution of 1 goal and 1 assist from the backline will be crucial in containing Liverpool's attacking threat.

Key Players - Liverpool

Liverpool's midfield engine Wataru Endo has been a consistent performer, and his presence in the center of the park will be vital. Another midfielder, Curtis Julian Jones, has shown he can be a difference-maker, with 1 goal and 1 assist to his name. However, it's Cody Mathès Gakpo, with a team-high rating of 6.98 and 5 goals from an impressive 16 shots on target, who might just be Liverpool's ace in the pack.

Recent Form

Manchester United's recent form has been a mixed bag with an LW sequence ending in a string of victories, indicating a return to winning ways. Their overall balance, however, remains even with a zero goal difference. Liverpool, on the other hand, has been in scintillating form, WWWLW, asserting their dominance with a substantial goal difference of +38. The Reds have their sights firmly set on retaining their top spot.

Head-to-Head History

Recent encounters tell a tale of Liverpool's upper hand, with the previous match at Anfield ending in a staggering 7-0 victory for the Reds. The match prior to that ended in a stalemate, while Manchester United claimed a narrow 2-1 victory in the third most recent meeting. This history adds an extra layer of intrigue to the upcoming match, as Manchester United will be eager to avenge their recent heavy defeat.

Prediction

The prediction leans towards Liverpool, with a "double chance" of a win or draw suggested. The statistical breakdown gives Liverpool a 55.8% chance of coming away with a result, compared to Manchester United's 44.2%. Liverpool's formidable attacking (62%) and defensive (64%) ratings overshadow United's, hinting at a potentially challenging afternoon for the hosts.

In conclusion, while Manchester United will have the support of the Old Trafford faithful and key players like Anthony Martial and Kobbie Mainoo ready to make an impact, Liverpool's form and the likes of Cody Gakpo may prove too much to handle. Expect a fiercely contested match, but the numbers suggest Liverpool will either take all three points or at least a share of the spoils. Liverpool to win or draw seems the most likely outcome in this chapter of a historic rivalry.
