Manchester United's Home Fortress

Manchester United have been formidable at home this season, winning four of their last five matches at Old Trafford. Their attacking prowess is evident with an average of 2.20 goals scored per home game, while their defense has been relatively solid, conceding 1.20 goals on average. Recent performances have shown resilience, such as their 3-1 victory over Aston Villa, although they have also faced setbacks, including a narrow 1-2 loss to Leeds. Fortunately for United, they have a fully fit squad with no players suspended or injured, allowing them to field their strongest lineup against Liverpool.
