All statistical models strongly favour Man Utd at home: short-term form (2.5/3) significantly outpaces Liverpool (1.5/3), with Poisson and goal-difference models pricing a home win at 1.79–2.12, well below the market's 2.42. Liverpool are missing Salah, Ekitike, Bradley, Endo, Mamardashvili and potentially Alisson — an extraordinarily depleted squad that reinforces rather than conflicts with the statistical edge. Market implies 41.3% but true probability is closer to 57%.

Manchester United's superior recent form (2.50 points per game over last six matches) and higher expected goals (2.12 vs 1.32) are not reflected in market pricing. Statistical models estimate United's win probability at 55.9%, over 14 percentage points higher than the market's implied probability of 41.3%.
