Liverpool v Manchester United 16:00
This Sunday has a real ‘Super Sunday’ feel to it but the best of the action looks to have been saved for last as old rivals Liverpool and Manchester United lock-horns at Anfield.
Liverpool started ‘week 17’ as the league leaders but with this being the final game there is every chance they won’t be by the time of kick-off here – however, a win for the Reds will see them return to the top no matter what the previous results have been.
The neutrals out there, who are hoping for a goal-fest, won’t want to hear that the last two repeat fixtures ended 0-0. While 4 of the last 5 clashes in all competition between these sides have ended either 1-1 or 0-0. These scores can be backed as follows – 0-0 is 13.00, while 1-1 is 8.50.
United fans will also know that they are actually unbeaten in their last 8 league games against Liverpool so the 2.40 on offer on a United win, or a draw certainly catches the eye in the ‘double-chance’ market.
Another option is to delve into the overs/unders market as a massive 6 of the last 7 head-to-heads went UNDER 2.5 GOALS – this is on offer at 2.20, which looks fair value considering this has paid out in 86% of the last seven encounters.
BEST BET: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
