Egyptian King to pile on the misery!
Title chasing Liverpool travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United on Sunday in a repeat of the epic FA Cup quarter final last month.
Liverpool forward Mo Salah found the back of the net in the FA Cup tie last month and has an incredible record of scoring against The Red Devils.
The Egyptian has scored more times against United than any other side he has faced, bagging 13 goals in 14 appearances against them.
Unibet are offering 2.00 on Salah adding to his tally in this one and with 5 goals in his last 3 games he could well continue his good form of recent weeks with another goal here.
Salah is the joint 2nd top scorer in the Premier League this campaign with 16 goals from 23 appearances and is jurgen Klopp’s sides top scorer with 22 goals in all competitions.
The graphic below shows Salah as Liverpool’s top scorer this campaign, with 22 goals in 33 appearances and with the best minutes per goal ratio of 109.
Now fully fit from injury, Salah is hitting form just at the right time for The Reds and could well improve his record of scoring against United come full-time.
Another bet which looks good value is for Bruno Fernandes to be shown a card anytime during the match.
Fernandes is United’s most carded player this season, with 8 yellow cards from 28 Premier League appearances this term and Unibet are offering 3.05 on the United captain collecting another one during the game.
This figure means the Portuguese midfielder has been booked in 29% of the league games he’s played so far. The graphic below shows Bruno Fernandes as the joint 9th most carded player in the Premier League this season.
Erik ten Hag’s side have also had the 8th highest number of yellow cards so far with 67 in total, meaning Fernandes accounts for 12% of all United’s yellow cards in the league.
With these statistics coupled with the fierce rivalry and history between the two teams, tackles may well be flying in and Fernandes’ chances of picking up a card from referee Anthony Taylor could increase in the red hot atmosphere of Old Trafford on Sunday.
