Betting tips
Man United’s fall from grace has been well documented over the past few seasons, but the upcoming games give them the chance to steady the ship.
The trip to Liverpool on Sunday will be tough, particularly after the home side suffered three consecutive defeats in all competitions before the international break.
They will be eager to bounce back and demonstrate why many people rated them as the favourites to retain the Premier League title this season.
However, the Red Devils have lost just one of their last five meetings with Liverpool and will fancy their chances of securing a positive result on Sunday.
With both sides desperately needing to secure a victory, backing both teams to score could be a sensible way to play this one.
They have conceded 20 league goals between them in seven outings this season, which suggests goals could be on the cards at Anfield.
United’s final fixture in October against Brighton offers a golden opportunity to end manager Ruben Amorim’s first year in charge on a winning note.
The Seagulls have won just once on the road during the early part of the season, and these are the types of games United must win if they harbour genuine top-four ambitions.
Brighton have been a thorn in United’s side over the past few seasons, winning six of their last eight meetings in all competitions.
However, odds of 2.00 to record their fourth home league victory of the season look good value against a team which has underwhelmed on the road this term.
Backing Bruno Fernandes to score anytime during the game could also pay dividends. He has netted five goals in 11 previous league appearances against the Seagulls.
Fernandes has not sparkled in a deeper midfield role this season, but will be determined to step things up as the campaign progresses.
