Saturday’s Premier League action concludes at Old Trafford where Manchester United face fierce rivals Liverpool.

The hosts’ unbeaten start to the season came to an end last time out when Swansea City came from a goal behind to secure a 2-1 victory at Liberty Park a fortnight ago, though the go in to the weekend in the top five, five points behind leaders Manchester City.

They have lost just two of the last twenty league games that they have played in front of their own fans though have scored just two in their last four at the Theatre of Dreams.

Michael Carrick is likely to miss out through injury while Phil Jones is in a race against time to be fit enough to be considered for selection.

Wayne Rooney, fresh from becoming England’s all-time record goal scorer, is favourite to net first here at 6.0 (5/1) with Bet 365 while new signing Anthony Martial can be backed at 7.0 (6/1) with the same firm.

Sky Bet have the home win priced at 1.95 (19/20) with the visitors as highly priced as the 4.5 (7/2) on offer from Bet 365. The draw can be backed at 3.6 (13/5) with a number of firms.

After taking maximum points from their opening two league games, Brendan Rodgers’ side have taken just one point from their last two and failed to score in both.

Also, their opening day win at Stoke City was their only league win from their last seven on the road.

Daniel Sturridge is back in training after a long lay-off but is unlikely to be involved here though Adam Lallana and Jordan Henderson could be after shaking off knocks.

Christian Benteke is widely available at 7.5 (13/2) to open the scoring ahead of Danny Ings who is a 10.0 (9/1) chance with Bet 365.
Louis van Gaal’s side won both of last season’s encounters with Liverpol with the corresponding fixture ending in a 3-0 home triumph.

You can back a Manchester United win to nil this time around at 3.25 (9/4) with Sky Bet while Bet Victor offer 2.15 (23/20) for there to be three or more goals scored in the game.
