United underestimated as usual at home to evolving Liverpool

Liverpool are 17/20 favourites to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford as they bid to extend new boss Arne Slot’s unbeaten start in the Premier League to three matches.

However, United have a strong record against Liverpool under Slot’s fellow Dutchman Erik Ten Hag – winning twice, drawing twice and losing just once – and with defensive frailties evident in the Anfield side’s first two wins their hosts can avoid defeat again.

The Man Utd double chance bet is a very fair price indeed at 19/20, but at odds of 31/10 the draw is favoured. These old rivals drew two of their three meetings last season, while the third saw United prevail 4-3 in an FA Cup tie that had been 2-2 at 90 minutes.

Tip: Man Utd vs Liverpool – Draw @ 31/10

Bromley can resume positive start after Valley Parade blip

Life in the Football League started in fine fashion for Bromley, with wins over Harrogate Town and AFC Wimbledon before reality seemingly bit with a 3-1 defeat at Bradford.

However, the Ravens saw Ashley Charles sent off just eight minutes in at Valley Parade, conceding from the resulting penalty. Andy Woodman’s men went in two down at half-time but showed grit to push the Bantams after the break, drawing the second period.

Back on home turf they have a great opportunity to get back to winning ways against Crewe and look a good price at evens to do so. Alexandra have lost two of their first three games and have the worst goal difference in the division having yet to score.

Tip: Bromley to beat Crewe @ 1/1

Newport value is there to tap into again after two winning weekends

Nelson Jardim’s Newport County are the darlings of our weekend betting tips after delivering winning bets in each of the last two weeksand they look a fair price to win away to struggling Morecambe at 5/4 with the draw no bet concession.

The Shrimps are rock bottom of League Two and have yet to find the net this term, whereas County are the division’s leading scorers with eight goals as Jardim’s ideas continue to bed in.

Odds of 21/10 about the away win (without draw no bet) are also appealing but given a modest 31% of fourth tier matches yielded away wins last term a pragmatic approach is favoured.

Tip: Newport County to beat Morecambe (draw no bet @ 5/4)
