<p>This game could be significant in the race for a <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/punter-iq/guide/how-to-bet-uefa-champions-league">UEFA Champions League betting</a> spot, with United needing a win to secure their place, while Liverpool will want to try and go level with the Red Devils.</p><p>The game is scheduled to kick off at 01:30 AEST on Monday, May 4.</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>Quick Picks</h2><p><strong>Our pick:</strong> Draw</p><p><strong>Value bet:</strong> BTTS to hit</p><p><strong>Long shot:</strong> Under 2.5 Goals</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>Betting Preview</h2><p>Michael Carrick's team are three points ahead of Arne Slot's defending <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/soccer/soccer-news/epl-winners-by-year">EPL champions</a>, with the interim manager leading United to nine wins in his 13 Premier League games since taking over from Ruben Amorim.</p><p>Following their victory over Brentford on Tuesday morning, they solidified their position for a UCL spot.</p><p>They moved three points ahead of Liverpool, who had managed to beat Crystal Palace on Sunday.</p><p>However, the Reds will be without Mohamed Salah for what appears to be the remainder of the season with a hamstring injury suffered during the game with Palace.</p><p>There will be no swansong for him in a Liverpool shirt now at Old Trafford, as it has been confirmed he will be leaving the club in the summer.</p><p>Casemiro is another who is leaving his club, with the Brazilian continuing to play an influential role for Man Utd.</p><p>He scored the opener against Brentford and has four goals in his last six EPL games.</p><p>He now has 10 EPL goals this season, which is the most in a campaign he has had for the iconic club.</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>Betting Markets to Watch</h2><p>The H2H suggests a close encounter is likely, with three draws, one Liverpool win, and one Man Utd win in the last five games. Perhaps more telling, United won the game at Anfield earlier this season 2-1, after taking a 1-0 lead in the first half.</p><p>Bryan Mbeumo scored inside the opening two minutes, with Cody Gakpo equalising with 12 to play. Harry Maguire scored with six minutes to go to claim all three points.</p><p>However, we think there might be <strong>better value in the draw for this game</strong>.</p><p>Two of the three that has been experienced in the last five ended goalless, while the other finished 2-2.</p><p>We think the latter is more likely to happen, with goals likely due to fragile defences.</p><p>Alisson could be back in goal after missing the last seven, but it could also be touch-and-go.</p><p>With this in mind, we think the <strong>BTTS hitting offers value</strong>.</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>Our Prediction</h2><p>Check the latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/united-kingdom/english-premier-league/man-utd-v-liverpool-10390284">Man Utd vs Liverpool betting odds</a> at Sportsbet.</p><p>We think there's value in the <strong>draw</strong>.
