We simulated Liverpool vs Manchester United to get a score prediction

Manchester United have the chance to move level on points with fourth-place Tottenham on Tuesday, as they face Liverpool at Anfield.

A Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick on Saturday afternoon helped United overcome bottom-placed Norwich City in a 3-2 win, moving Ralf Rangnick's side up to fifth in the Premier League. Results in other games fell perfectly into United's favour, with Spurs and Arsenal both losing.

Despite the victory on the weekend, United were still far from their best, and Rangnick knows his side will need to be much better when they play Liverpool on Tuesday night. United's last victory at Anfield came way back in 2016, with Wayne Rooney grabbing the only goal in a 1-0 win.

Fred, Scott McTominay, Edinson Cavani and Luke Shaw are all confirmed absentees for Tuesday, whilst the clash against the Reds may come too early for Raphael Varane to return. Ronaldo has been granted compassionate leave following the tragic passing of his newborn son.
