How to get a free £20 bet on Liverpool versus Manchester United

Liverpool welcome Manchester United in English football's biggest game and the bookies have a clear favourite.

Despite losing their last three games in all competitions Liverpool are the clear favourites to claim North West bragging rights at 1/2 on, with United around 3/1 to claim all three points.

A draw is more likely than a Manchester United win, according to some bookmakers, despite the Red Devils winning their last game against Sunderland in a much-needed boost for under pressure manager Ruben Amorim.

According to leading bookmaker Stakemate, which is an app that allows customers to earn better odds the more people join the bet, a Liverpool 1-0 win is 19/2 and a 2-0 win is 9/1. Liverpool's defence has not been particularly impressive this season and a 2-1 victory is shorter odds at 24/7.

However, Liverpool fans can also gamble on a big victory over their fierce rivals by choosing 4-0 at 21/1 or 5-0 at 39/1. A repeat of the famous 7-0 thrashing of Erik Ten Hag's United would fetch you 125/1 this time around.

Alexander Isak is favourite to score anytime with a narrow odds of 26/25, followed by Mo Salah at 23/20. For United Benjamin Sesko is favourite to find the net at Anfield with odds of 43/20 to score anytime, while Bruno Fernandes is 7/2 to find the net anytime.
