The regent of the hot-streak and monarch of the goalless drought is back to offer more invaluable stats to help punters ahead of the upcoming Capital One Cup…

3 – The amount of times in their last four defeats at Old Trafford in all competitions that Liverpool have gone down to Manchester United by the same 2-1 scoreline. Man Utd to win 2-1 is 9/1 with Ladbrokes.
