MANCHESTER UNITED VS LIVERPOOL BETTING: DIMITAR BERBATOV SET TO SHINE
Wayne Rooney might be dominating the headlines, but it's really been Dimitar Berbatov that's been making the difference on the pitch this season as the Bulgarian striker looks to have finally found his goalscoring form at Old Trafford.
After being ignored in midweek, to disastrous effect, you reckon that Berbatov will definitely start this Sunday's widely-anticipated fixture with Liverpool.
Tying your betting strategy around a quality performance from Berbatov is a great option during this big fixture and it's likely that Rooney will be deployed in more of a withdrawn role with Berbatov leading the line. The odds on Berbatov to score are better than Rooney's odds so you're getting a bit more bang for your buck here, as well.
Currently Dimitar Berbatov is 11/8 to score anytime against Liverpool with popular bookmaker Bet365. Wayne Rooney's odds to score are priced at 5/6 anytime while Javier Hernandez (aka Chicharito) is available at 6/4 anytime.
Fernando Torres has a lot of expectations on him at the moment but he just hasn't really looked up to it in the past few weeks. He looks like he wants out of Liverpool and, given all the question marks over Anfield at the moment, who can blame him? He's at 7/4 to score a goal at any point.
Michael Owen could wind up being a key player if he's given a late cameo role against his old club. You can back Owen at a 7/4 price anytime- what does it tell you that Torres and Owen share the same anytime price?
Steven Gerrard is available at a solid 7/2 to grab a goal at any time and that's the recommended bet for Liverpool fans today.
You can expect Nani to start this one and he's at a very solid 3/1 to grab a goal for United. His pace could trouble the Liverpool back line and he's been going from strength to strength recently.
Paul Scholes will almost certainly be deployed for United and he's trading at a 9/2 listing to score a goal in the match. Ryan Giggs is trading at a 7/2 price, expect both United veterans to start the match.
