Liverpool vs Manchester United — Premier League 2026/27 Prediction
Liverpool to win
Probabilities are for 90 minutes only — extra time and penalties are not modelled.
Liverpool enter this Anfield fixture with momentum blunted by their opening-day draw at Newcastle, but their squad depth — headlined by Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak, and Virgil van Dijk — gives them a structural advantage over a Manchester United side that lost at Hull City and is missing six first-team players, including goalkeeper Karl Darlow (surgery), striker Benjamin Šeško (leg), and midfield anchor Manuel Ugarte (knee).
