What will decide it?
Home advantage first, then the goals picture and the factor with the most pull on this fixture.
Home edge
Edge: Even
Man Utd's home crowd is worth about a fifth of a goal, which narrows the gap without erasing Liverpool's quality advantage.
Goal expectancy
Edge: Even
At 2.8 expected goals, the 2.5 line is close to a toss-up (53% for the over).
Quality gap
Edge: Liverpool
Liverpool rate clearly higher, and the draw is only 25%. If they score first, the game state favours them heavily.

The model's likeliest scoreline. Exact-score markets pay well and land rarely, so stake lightly.
How do the two teams set up?
Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Manchester United
Well organised and hard to play through, Man Utd usually earn results at Old Trafford by winning the midfield battle.
Away
Liverpool
Liverpool are built to control games. They should hold most of the ball on their trip to Old Trafford and pin Man Utd back for long periods.
What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before kick-off.
If Liverpool name a weakened XI
Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.
If Man Utd score first
The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.
