As United host Liverpool at Old Trafford, it is going to be the biggest match of the season which can determine the title for Liverpool. With the win, Liverpool can go a step ahead of Manchester City in terms of the title race by extending 3 points lead. United is the only big 6 team Liverpool is yet to play away from home and is going to be one of the toughest matches. They also need to play Chelsea and Spurs at Anfield later in the season. For Manchester United, Solskjaer wants to make a statement here against the biggest rival. After losing to Liverpool in December, United hasn't lost any matches in the premier league. This defeat against Liverpool in the reverse fixture cost Mourinho's his job, while a win here would boost Solskjaer's chance for the permanent job.

At Old Trafford, Manchester United will be missing 2 most important players because of injury. Lingard and Martial had already been ruled out after they suffered an injury against PSG. Besides the injury, United also lost against PSG at Old Trafford in that match, the first defeat for Solskjaer in his managerial career. But Solskjaer and United came back strong and confident to defeat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last Sunday. Herrera and Pogba scored for United in that match. Beside Martial and Lingard, there are no concerns of injury, and all the players are in good form.

For Liverpool, there is some injury concern at the back for Klopp. During the Champions League match against Bayern, Klopp was out of options and started Fabinho in the central defense. Fabinho, a midfield player did well to stop Lewandowski and was one of the best players in the match. The match ended in 0-0 draw at Anfield, not a positive result for Klopp. Against United, Van Dijk should return at the back with Matip after he missed the Champions League match because of suspension. Fabinho should start at the midfield. Other than that, the Liverpool trio is fit and the biggest threat for United. Salah, Mane, and Firmino are already after the long break of 10 days. Klopp utilized this break taking his team to Spain for training in a warm climate.

Last time when these two teams met, Liverpool won the match 3-1 at Anfield. Liverpool completely dominated the match against United. United was so poor in that match but this time it is going to be a different story. Solskjaer knows the importance of the matches against Liverpool. During his time as United's player, Liverpool was the biggest rival. He would want to win this game at any cost. Also, the past record is in favor of Solskjaer. Manchester United hasn't lost at Old Trafford since 2014 despite being in poor form. United only lost 2 times in last 9 encounters against Liverpool. Added to that, Liverpool has a poor run of form as they only won 3 of past 6 matches, the other 3 ending in the draw. Thus, United has a chance here, and I can see Solskjaer winning this one here.

Betting:

Even if Solskjaer doesn't get a full-time job, he would love to win this one and take this match as the biggest reward of his career at Old Trafford. He knows the rivalry and the importance of the victory here. I can see United giving everything to win this one. Defeat is not an option for Solskjaer here, and I can see him giving everything to avoid this. Also, I have confidence in him to get something at Old Trafford after he led the team for recent success. I am going with United's victory here, along with over 2.5 goals. I can see goals coming from both sides. Both sides are in great form recently. Looking into recent matches, the last 3 matches saw over 2.5 goals.
