Manchester Utd v Liverpool Odds: Berbatov Great Bet to Score First at Old Trafford

Get the latest odds for the FA Cup match between Man Utd and Liverpool on Sunday 9th January 2011.

Manchester United take on Liverpool at Old Trafford this Sunday afternoon in a match that is always billed as one of the games of the season. Certainly for Man Utd boss, Sir Alex Ferguson it is, much of his ambition since arriving at Old Trafford was to “knock Liverpool after their perch” and by and large he has achieved his once famous quote. paddy power Bookmakers have made United a best price of 3/4 odds on favourites to win the match, with the draw at 5/2 and they go 4/1 Liverpool.

It is an interesting fact that these two sides have not played out a draw in the league since 2005, in fact it was almost exactly five years ago to the day when they shared the points in a 0-0 draw at Anfield. You have to back another five years however to March, 2000 to find the last league draw between the two at Old Trafford. That makes just two draws in twenty one matches, stats that prove beyond any doubt that when Man Utd play Liverpool, both teams play to win.

Liverpool in fact have won three of the last four encounters, but United won the last game 2-1 in this fixture last season and will be looking for a repeat of that on Sunday . A 2-1 United win in fact can be backed at a tempting 7/1 with PaddyPower

United will be welcoming back Wayne Rooney to the Premier League after he was ‘rested’ last in the 3-3 draw against Everton, they will also be recalls for Paul Scholes, Nemanja Vidic, Dimitar Berbatov and Edwin Van Der Sar, who were all rested in the Champions League midweek game against Glasgow Rangers, which also ended in a draw. Rooney who played against Rangers in midweek has still not been firing on all cylinders for his team so far this season, with just one goal from the penalty spot, which is why we think the 4/1 on offer for him to score the opening goal in this match is a bit skinny and would prefer to take the 5/1 on offer from Paddy power for the in form, Berbatov to score first.

It is expected that Liverpool boss, Roy Hodgson will be recalling captain Steven Gerrard and defender, Jamie Carragher after resting them in midweek, but there is some doubt on whether Fernando Torres will get a start, after David Ngog made such a good impression with a brace in the 4-1 Europa League win over Steaua Bucharest in midweek, they were his fifth and sixth goals of the season. Torres has been made a 7/1 shot with Ngog at 9/1 to be First Goalscorer of the game with paddypower.

It will be difficult for Hodgson to leave out Joe Cole however, who looked in great form against Steaua and must be a certainty to play on Sunday.

Playing at home is not always the big advantage it should be in these big fixtures, but we think it might be enough for United to win this weekend. Liverpool has only one win in the league so far this season and to get their second at Old Trafford is a ‘tall order’ and one we think they will not achieve. We are therefore going for a United win by the odd goal and suggest that the 2-1 scoreline mentioned above might be the Correct Score bet to be on. Other Correct Score options are made below.

Selection 1: United to win by 2-1 @ 7/1
