Sunday evening’s Premier League clash sees league leaders Liverpool hosting a Man United side who have lost all four of their most recent games.
PP ambassador and former Red, Joe Cole foresees another three points being bagged by Arne Slot’s side. Plus, he’s backed a goalscorer, too, which is covered by Paddy’s Super Sub offer, meaning if the player is substituted, the pick carries over to his replacement.
Let’s get his Liverpool v Man United betting tips.

The only thing that I can claw onto here for Man United fans is that both Liverpool and United players talk about this game as a derby in its own right regardless of the form going into the match, and for many, many years, United was the form side. They were winning all the trophies, and Liverpool were trying to get back up. This game would take on a life of its own
Back 10 years ago, certainly 15 or 20 years ago, when referees were more lenient, they’d play their own role in a game like this, where they’d allow tackles to be made, they’d allow it. It’s actually something that I think helped make the beauty of the Premier League global because you don’t really have that in the other big leagues.
It’s almost like they’d say, “Alright guys, it’s prison rules today, I’m leaving my cards at home.” It was a leveler in the game, and these games were frantic and hectic, so form did actually go out the window.
I’m trying to make a case for Man United fans here because there’s that element when it’s a one-off game.
Having said all that, you can’t look past how good this Liverpool side is, and I think while Man United will turn up and make a game of it, I still think Liverpool will win 2-1.
You’ve got to go with Mohamed Salah to score another goal against United as well, don’t you?
I could even see United taking the lead on a counterattack, but then they’ll get pinned back at the Kop end.
