Manchester United may surprise in the Premier League: Predictions and top bets for their match with Liverpool

web editor

Our football betting expert Jones Knows is back to offer his Premier League analysis and believes that Man Utd present an enticing opportunity to defeat Liverpool at Anfield.

Fulham vs Ipswich, Sunday 2pm, live on

Fulham are one of two teams to have avoided defeat against both Liverpool and Arsenal this season but are also one of two teams to have failed to beat both Southampton and Wolves. It perfectly encapsulates the condensed nature of the Premier League table, barring Liverpool's impeccable consistency.

Ipswich have also failed to beat Leicester and Southampton this season but bagged wins against Chelsea and Tottenham, so all in all, this is one of the trickiest games on the weekend slate. I wouldn't be surprised with any result.

Omari Hutchinson to make two or more tackles at 5/6 is a more predictable outcome. He leads the press for Ipswich and has made at least two tackles in five of Ipswich's eight away games in all competitions this season.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1

Liverpool vs Manchester United, Sunday 4.30pm, live on

Liverpool are likely to overwhelm Manchester United at some point in the match but every team has it's price.

Trending

And at 8/1 with Sky Bet, with Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte back to bolster the middle of the pitch, United are just too big to pass up, especially in a season where we've become accustomed to expecting the unexpected.

Yes, United have taken just seven points from eight Premier League games under Ruben Amorim - since he was appointed only Leicester (4) and Southampton (2) have taken fewer.

But you only need to go back a couple of games to see encouraging underlying metrics - they did win the expected-goals battle for five games in a row, including winning the actual game at Manchester City.

This away trip is obviously a huge step-up on that but this United squad is packed full of big-game players that have won multiple trophies in their time. At the prices, they are worth a nibble to deliver.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-2

Wolves vs Nottingham Forest, Monday 8pm, live on

Wolves gave us a little snippet of how they'd fare without Matheus Cunha in the second half against Tottenham. Yes, they managed to grind out a 2-2 draw but it was everything you'd expect without one of the league's most creative players - rather limp.

Now they must try and break through this Nottingham Forest defensive wall. It's going to be a big ask. Forest haven't conceded a goal in 297 minutes of Premier League action - only Arsenal and Liverpool (both 17) have conceded fewer than Forest's 19 goals.

Despite the upturn in results under Vitor Pereira, Wolves have shown over a long period they are one of the lesser lights in the league and Forest have taken 28 of a possible 30 points against teams currently in the bottom half. The away win to nil - a winner we found last week - has tempted me in again at 3/1 with Sky Bet.

SCORE PREDICTION: 0-1 | JONES KNOWS' BEST BET: Nottingham Forest to win to nil (3/1 with Sky Bet)
