Liverpool v Man United

There is much to get through this weekend, so we'll dive straight in on this one. It's going to be a tactical battle, of that there can be no doubt.

While Jurgen Klopp would love to deploy his immense attacking options on Mourinho's United, he will know that to do so would open Liverpool up to a devastating counter-attacking United. so will need to think carefully about how much risk he is willing to expose his brittle defence to.

The outcome could be a match with a very slow tempo, where both sides value possession of the ball more than they do creating chance after chance.

There are a couple of ways we could approach this game from a betting perspective therefore. We could play the Under 2.5 goals line, at around evens. It's not something we'd try and talk anyone out of, but with nine of United's 11 hitting the three goal mark this season, and seven of Liverpool's 12 doing the same, I'm not sure we'd enjoy the match hugely sat on that bet.

Instead, it could pay to look at corners. Matches between the big matches always produce a lower than average corner expectancy, and a match where each side may prefer to sound each other out tentatively looks ideal in this regard.

Five of Liverpool's seven Premier League matches have seen fewer than 10 corners this season, and four of those saw seven or fewer. Try backing Under 8.5 Corners at 2/1 here.
