Manchester United vs Liverpool preview: Sky Bet odds for today's highly-anticipated derby at Old Trafford

Manchester United and Liverpool renew one of football’s fiercest and most iconic rivalries as they meet in a highly-anticipated Premier League clash at Old Trafford today. 

United have enjoyed one of their most successful seasons in recent years, with the Red Devils currently sitting third in the table. 

Liverpool, meanwhile, are just three points behind in fourth, but their title defence has been underwhelming.

Heading into the match, United are considered the favourites, with Michael Carrick’s side priced at 11/10 to secure a third consecutive victory.

Liverpool, on the other hand, are 9/5 to pull off a win in enemy territory, while the draw is available at 14/5.

The last meeting between the two sides also went United’s way, as Harry Maguire’s dramatic 84th-minute goal sealed a 2-1 victory at Anfield earlier this season.

In a separate market, Bruno Fernandes is priced at 2/1 to register an assist. The Portuguese playmaker set one up in United’s 2-1 win over Brentford last time out, moving to within one of the all-time single-season record of 20 assists, jointly held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.

In addition to registering an assist in his most recent start, Fernandes has been in excellent form as a creator, providing seven assists across his last seven league appearances.
