Liverpool welcome Manchester United to Anfield on Tuesday night as both teams are looking for three points. This is a genuine derby as the rivalry between these two clubs is considered to be one of the biggest in Europe. They are the two most successful teams in England with 66 trophies for Manchester United and 65 trophies for Liverpool. The Reds dominated the English football from 1975 to 1990, winning 11 league titles and four European Cups. Manchester United, meanwhile, have dominated during Ferguson's era, from 1993. In that period the Red Devils won 13 league championships and two European Cups. The overall H2H is on Manchester side, but the last mutual results are on Liverpool side, with four victories and three draws on the last six mutual games in the Premier League. Even more, Liverpool are dominant at home - the Red Devils have failed to score in four of their past five top-flight trips to Anfield.
Liverpool are in series of positive results. The Reds have already won the trophy in the League Cup, while on Saturday secured the final of the FA Cup after winning 3:2 against Manchester City at Wembley. The match was effectively decided in a one-sided first 45 minutes, in which a mixture of ruthless finishing and City mistakes saw the Reds take a 3:0 lead. Sadio Mane was the key name after scoring a brace, while Ibrahima Konate netted the opener in the 9th minute. Previously Jurgen Klopp's men have secured semi-finals in the Champions League. They have eliminated Benfica with a 6:4 aggregate victory and will face Villarreal on the way to the final. Liverpool are in excellent form in the Premier League, they have won 10 consecutive top-flight home games and are unbeaten in the league at Anfield this season. Klopp has a fully-fit squad once again and will likely rotate the players. Joel Matip is expected to come back in for Konate, Jordan Henderson could start in midfield, and a well-rested Roberto Firmino is pushing for a starting spot after impressed against Benfica.
Manchester United's form at the moment could be described as inconsistent. They have one win, one draw and one defeat on the last three Premier League fixtures. The Red Devils suffered a painful defeat to Everton at Goodison Park, shared the points with Leicester at home and secured a narrow 3:2 home win over Norwich City on Saturday. Cristiano Ronaldo scored all three goals and Manchester United are now three points behind fourth-placed Tottenham. However, their ambitions of top-four finish are far from over, despite their recent troubles. A good result in this match could completely change the whole landscape of Manchester United season so far. Rangnick has some injury issues ahead of the derby with Fred, Scott McTominay, Edinson Cavani and Luke Shaw struggling with injuries. Reports had falsely claimed that Mason Greenwood was due to return to first-team training - the striker remains suspended by the club. On a positive note, Raphael Varane could be ready for this clash.
Liverpool vs Manchester United Prediction:
Liverpool are big favorites against Manchester United, but I don't expect an easy job for the Reds. Of course, Klopp's men should find the back of the net, they have scored in every league game in 2022. The Reds are in fantastic form and the players confidence is very high. However, I think Manchester United could produce some issues to Alisson. Cristiano Ronaldo is in fine form, he scored a hat-trick against Norwich on Saturday. I expect an efficient match at Anfield.
Liverpool vs Manchester United Pick: Both teams to score - Yes @ 1.75 with Bet365
If Ronaldo miss the game I don't know from who will come the goal for United. And i think is very likely to happen and mister Rashford will have to lead the game. I expect a lots of goals - maybe Over 1.5 goals during the First half. And Harry and Dalot to recieve yellow cards.
Chelsea vs Arsenal Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Chelsea:
Mendy; James, Silva, Rudiger; Azpilicueta, Kante, Jorginho, Alonso; Mount, Werner; Lukaku
Arsenal:
Ramsdale; Cedric, White, Gabriel, Tavares; Xhaka, Lokonga; Saka, Odegaard, Smith Rowe; Martinelli
Chelsea host Arsenal to Stamford Bridge in a very important match between the London rivals. Both teams were poor in the last period, but it seems the Blues have recovered sooner. The Gunners lost three in a row and the atmosphere in the squad is far from ideal. But first about the hosts. Chelsea suffered two heavy defeats in a short period. Tuchel's men were humiliated by Brentford and lost 1:4 at Stamford Bridge. More important, they were eliminated from the Champions League by Real Madrid. It is clear the Russian war with Ukraine had huge impact on the club. The Russian owner Roman Abramovich came under sanctions and the actual situation is very complicated. However, the Blues are still a good team with talented players. Last week they destroyed Southampton 6:0 at St Mary's, while on Sunday secured the final of the FA Cum after winning 2:0 against Crystal Palace at Wembley. Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mason Mount's composed finishes in the second half were enough to break the Palace resistance and the Blues will face Liverpool for the second time in a domestic cup final. I believe the players confidence is now higher. About the team news - Mateo Kovacic suffered an ankle injury after just 26 minutes of the FA Cup win against Crystal Palace and will be sidelined for some period. According to Tuchel, the injury looked like a serious one. Long-term absentees Ben Chilwell and Callum Hudson-Odoi remain out, while Ross Barkley missed the Palace win after a recent bout of sickness. N'Golo Kante will probably replace Kovacic in the midfield, while Romelu Lukaku could start.
Arsenal will try to return to winning path after they suffered three defeats in a row. The Gunners were in good form until three rounds ago. First they suffered a heavy 3:0 defeat from Crystal Palace. Everything that could go wrong at Selhurst Park did go wrong for Mikel Arteta. After the match he offered an apologize to his fans for the "unacceptable" performance. Next they lost 2:1 to Brighton, while on Saturday lost 0:1 to Southampton at St Mary's. Just for comparison, Chelsea won 6:0 against the same opponents. The atmosphere in the squad isn't at desired level at the moment, while the players confidence is lower. Arteta will try to restore the confidence, but it won't be easy. In addition, the Spaniard has big injury issues in defense. Kieran Tierney will miss the remainder of the campaign due to knee injury. To be worse, Takehiro Tomiyasu is rated as doubtful, so Arteta has problem about left back position. In the midfield Thomas Partey is raulled out due to a thigh problem. Captain Alexandre Lacazette is doubtful after he tested positive for COVID-19 before the Southampton clash, so Eddie Nketiah could once again lead the line.
Chelsea vs Arsenal Prediction:
Chelseaa should win this match. There are three reasons for my pick. First of all, the home advantage. The second reason is connect with Chelsea. They are back to the winning ways and the players confidence is high. And finally, the third reason is connect with Arsenal. The Gunners are in series of three defeats and the atmosphere in the squad isn't at desired level.

Everton @2.25
Everton
Although they invited Frank Lampard to lead the team and brought in a few players in the transfer window before this season starts, it does not work effectively. They still struggle for relegation now. In the last game, they take points from Man Utd surprisingly. Now they rank seventeenth at the table of the League with three points ahead of the relegation zone.
Leicester City
They are sitting in ninth place at the table of the League. There is not enough quality for them to handle two-fronted attacks under injuries. They upgraded to the next stage of the Conference League by a narrow win from PSV Eindhoven. In the last League game, they lose to Newcastle United 2-1.
