Liverpool travels to Old Trafford this Sunday to face Manchester United in what is set to be a crunch match for the entire Premier League season this year.

Manchester United have turned their fortunes around this season after languishing around mid-table and now sit 4th. They will be hoping to capitalise on their new-found form after José Mourinho’s departure.

Liverpool, on the other hand, has everything to play for. Currently sitting 2nd with a game in hand they need at least a draw to propel them back to top-spot otherwise Manchester City will sit comfortably back into the lead position.

With it being such a critical game and the United v Liverpool rivalry being one of the oldest and fiercest in the Premier League it’s a game you won’t want to miss. If you’re outside the UK or you don’t have access to a cable subscription, then your options are minimal.

In this guide I’ll be showing you how you can watch an official stream of the match anywhere in the world without the need for a cable subscription.

Man United v Liverpool predictions

Who is going to win a game like Man United v Liverpool is anyone’s guess.

However, there are some sources we can take into account if you’re already trying to determine the winner.

Statistics on Google suggest that Liverpool have a 42% chance of winning, with 27% chance a draw and just 31% chance of Manchester United winning. Much of this is probably down to Liverpool’s form this season and the prior lack of structure from United.

Much has changed in the last couple of months which has upped the possibility of United taking a win this time around.

Last time the two sides played was back in December where Liverpool won 3-1 at home in Anfield although this is a Manchester United side playing much more positive football.

If you look back at the last 10 Premier League meetings stretching back to 2014, then Man United have won 5, drawn 3 and lost just 2.

I’m predicting a draw but if anyone wins, then I think Liverpool might pip it with a 2-1 win. What are your thoughts and what do you think the final scoreline will be?

Where is the match taking place?

The February 24th game takes place at Old Trafford. Manchester United’s ground in Manchester, England.

The two teams have already met once this season back in December at Anfield, Liverpool’s football ground.

Is Man United v Liverpool the PL’s biggest rivalry?

Many would argue that the north-west derby between Manchester United and Liverpool is the biggest rivalry in the Premier League.

Although you have 4 top teams in London which could stake a claim, my opinion is there are no more significant meetings than United v Liverpool.

Manchester City, who, let’s be honest didn’t have any fans until recent years may become a heated game in future but with little history, it doesn’t stand up to the passion and dare I say it, the hatred that Liverpool and Manchester United supporters have for each other’s teams.

Even United legend Paul Scholes recently told Sky Sports, “I think it’s the biggest rivalry in English football.”

To watch the Manchester United v Liverpool match, you’ll need to subscribe to a VPN service from ExpressVPN.
