Ace Football previews the Premier League game between Man Utd and Liverpool who meet up on Monday. The match preview includes the current team and H2H stats as well as the best betting tips for the match.

Man Utd come up against visiting side Liverpool in a Premier League round 3 match. The duel will take place at Old Trafford on Monday and it should be interesting enough to follow.

Both teams enter the contest on the back of disappointing starts to their respective campaigns. They’re both winless and in unfamiliar territory after the opening two games. Man Utd are in the relegation zone and must surely be desperate to get some points on board, while Liverpool have already lost critical ground in the title race down the bottom half of the league.

Position in the Premier League standings: Man Utd vs Liverpool

According to the Premier League table, the difference between these two opponents is currently only two points. That means this round 3 match will be important for both teams and their position at the league table. Man Utd have an opportunity to catch up with Liverpool who sit 15th on two points ahead of Monday’s encounter. However, the latter will surely try to extend the gap in the standings.

Man Utd continue to flounder

The Red Devils have had to endure a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 1-0 by Crystal Palace, before Brighton ran out 1-2 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Brentford, who came out 4-0 winners.

Liverpool hope to boost points tally

The Reds look solid after going three matches unbeaten, yet appear to be lacking that winning edge at the same time. They laid the groundwork by beating Manchester City with a 3-1 scoreline, before settling for a point in a 2-2 draw against Fulham. Their latest match once again had them share the points, this time in a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.
