Manchester United and Liverpool meet this Sunday afternoon at 3.30pm in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, a match that will pit two of the contenders for the trophy against each other. The match will be played at Old Trafford, a stadium in Manchester with a capacity of around 75,000 fans in the stands.
After a period of recovery, Manchester United, led by Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes, returned to an inconsistent phase, winning against Nottingham Forest and Everton but losing to Fulham and Manchester City in their last four matches across all competitions. However, in their last 10 games, they secured seven victories (including matches against Newport, Wolverhampton, West Ham, Aston Villa, and Luton Town), one draw (against Tottenham), and two losses, scoring in all matches and conceding goals in seven instances.
At Old Trafford, under Erik ten Hag’s leadership, Manchester United won five games (against Luton Town, Chelsea, Aston Villa, West Ham, and Everton), drew once (with Tottenham), and suffered four defeats, scoring and conceding in seven of these matches.
On the other side, Liverpool hasn’t lost in nine consecutive matches, with seven wins (including against Burnley, Brentford, Luton Town, Southampton, Nottingham Forest, and Sparta Prague twice), two draws (against Chelsea and Manchester City), and one loss (against Arsenal), scoring and conceding in all these games.
Moreover, Liverpool has scored in 20 consecutive matches, which is remarkable and must be considered when predicting their upcoming game.
Looking at Liverpool’s away performance, in their last 10 away matches, they secured six wins (against Burnley, Arsenal, Bournemouth, Brentford, Nottingham Forest, and Sparta Prague), two draws (against Fulham and Chelsea), and two losses (against Saint-Gilloise and Arsenal), scoring in nine of these matches and conceding in five.
