Liverpool Preview & Form
Arne Slot has proven to be the right replacement for the departure of Jurgen Klopp, with the Dutch manager having guided Liverpool to 14 victories from their 18 games in the Premier League this season, with just one defeat recorded so far. The Reds, in their final match of 2024, cruise to a 5-0 victory against West Ham at the London Stadium. Liverpool are currently on a four-match winning streak with 16 goals scored during the run and are also on a run of 23 matches without defeat across all competitions. Their brilliant run of form keeps them sitting comfortably at the summit of the Premier League with 45 points accumulated.
Liverpool are also enjoying an incredible run of form at Anfield Stadium, having remained unbeaten in their last 11 games across all competitions, where they recorded 10 victories and a draw. Their most recent league home match saw them dispatch Leicester City 3-1 on matchday 18. Mohamed Salah has been in hot scoring form, with the Egyptian forward leading the line in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot with 17 goals scored.
Manchester United Preview & Form
Manchester United fans continue to endure tough stats even after changing their head coach, as United are struggling down in the bottom half of the Premier League at the moment. Life under the reign of Ruben Amorim has been difficult, as since arriving in the Old Trafford dugout, Amorim has seen his side currently on a four-match losing streak, which is the longest run for a long time. Ruben Amorim’s side were outclassed by Newcastle United in the final game of 2024 at Old Trafford Stadium, courtesy of a quick goal from Alexander Isak and Joelinton. The performances for United have not improved following Amorim’s appointment, failing to score in their last three matches and conceding seven goals in the process. Currently, United sits 14th in the league standings with 22 points, seven points from the relegation zone, and nine points behind the top six.
Ruben Amorim’s side, since beating Manchester City in the derby match, has lost their last two matches, including suffering an exit in the Carabao quarterfinals against Tottenham and a defeat against Wolverhampton in the league. The Red Devils have a poor historical record at the Anfield Stadium, haven’t won a league game at Anfield since 2016, and have yet to score a goal since 2020.
