Liverpool v Manchester United: Best bets for Sunday and Monday’s Premier League games

Our betting expert with tips for massive clash at Anfield, Everton’s six-pointer at Nottingham Forest and Brentford-Fulham PLUS Roma v Juventus in Serie A

Ignore the telly hype and punt a tight one at Anfield this afternoon.

Liverpool beat Manchester United 9-0 combined last season. Let’s just go right ahead and assume that level of dominance isn’t going to magically reappear (4.30pm).

You can trust Jurgen Klopp to adjust to the new balance of powers, the chronic weakness at the right side of his defence, and the flat-footed vibe against the counterattack. It all adds up to a safety-first gameplan being more favoured than usual.

Easy to forget that three of the past six Prem head-to-heads at Anfield have ended 0-0.

There are worse ways to spend money on a worldie, than the 18/1 (Bet365) about ‘no goalscorer’, and the DRAW is fair at the general 13/5.

Jose Mourinho was the last United boss to get a goal at Anfield, and was promptly sacked. Luckily, Jose’s always been a forgive-and-forget fella.

Erik ten Hag will surely remember to roll the dice down United’s left flank at Trent Alexander-Arnold. The 23/4 (Unibet) that TAA ‘is shown a card’ is solid, viewing his raw stats through that prism.

Back Sean Dyche to set the satnav for route one when Everton go to Nottingham Forest (2pm) and take the DRAW at the widespread 2/1.

Jordan Pickford provided a hoofed assist when these goal-lite sides last met, and Dyche could scheme to send a scurrier after long balls here. Demarai Gray can scurry with the best, unless you mean scurry back, in which case not so much.

If he starts, the 5/1 (Paddy) about Gray ‘anytime scorer’ is right.

If Brentford share the points when Fulham visit (Monday 8pm) they will have drawn half of their Prem games this season and be on track to trouble the 38-game record of 17.

Drawishness seems to take a grip on some club/boss combinations. It did with Graham Potter at Brighton. Not so clearly with Thomas Frank and his Bees yet, but the 11/4 (Unibet) DRAW is worth a Pott shot.

Over in Italy, Roma look underestimated for Juventus ’s visit (8pm, Serie A) - Paulo Dybala, on pens, is worth an ‘anytime scorer’ twirl at 3/1 (Bet365)
