Manchester United may have only one defeat in 14 games, but can Liverpool beat them at Anfield for the first time in the Premiership since 2001? If you’re tempted to have a punt on this weekend’s top Premiership clash, then it’s well worth having a look at the spread betting markets from Sporting Index.

Liverpool haven’t beaten Manchester United in five Premiership games, losing four of them in the process. Sporting Index think both sides will cancel each other out and predict a draw is in the offing. United have only kept three clean sheets in nine Premiership matches so The Reds should fancy themselves to get in amongst the goals and Sporting Index reckon Liverpool will score 1.15-1.35 goals. Kuyt has been talking up his sides chances, but will he add to his nine league goals this season? Sporting Index prices his goal minutes spread at 13-16 minutes.

Ronaldo on the other hand has 16 goals this season and is priced at 12-15 minutes for his goal minutes market. Sellers might be more interested on that spread, which hasn’t been the norm this season - Liverpool haven’t conceded a goal at home in the last nine Premiership games. However, if the Red Devils do manage to get past Pepe Reina, will it be as early on as Tuesday’s FA Cup tie at Reading?

Sporting Index predict the first match goal to be scored between the 37th and 40th minutes. If and when the first goal is scored, will more follow? Goals haven’t exactly been in great supply with five goals scored in their last five encounters.Sporting Index reckon there’ll be 2.3 to 2.5 goals scored. Sellers will no doubt take note.
