Match preview

Liverpool host Manchester United in the Premier League on 19 October 2025. Liverpool sit 5th on 60 points and Manchester United are 3rd on 71. Liverpool have won 2 of their last 5 (WWLLL), while Manchester United have won 3 of 5 (WLWLW). In their last 1 meetings, Liverpool won 0, Manchester United won 1 and 0 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.
