The Premier League 2 match between the U21 teams of Manchester United and Liverpool held on 12 April 2024 showcased an impressive display of skills, teamwork, and strategy. With the home team claiming a 3-1 victory, a few key statistical factors played a pivotal role in shaping the match.

Manchester United U21 was superior in scoring, with 3 goals compared to Liverpool U21's single goal. A primary factor contributing to this was the efficiency of their shooting. United attempted 15 shots during the match, with 10 of them being on target indicating a conversion rate of 66.66%, which is very productive. Liverpool, on the other hand, despite attempting 12 shots, they could put only 6 on target, a conversion rate of 50%.

Liverpool U21, although matching United U21's shots off-target count (6), could not match their overall effectiveness. The increasing number of offsides (3) for Liverpool compared to United's 2, may have curtailed Liverpool's scoring opportunities. This disparity in effectiveness is further highlighted by the corners, where United had one more than Liverpool, possibly offering them an additional scoring opportunity.

The match was relatively clean in terms of discipline with neither team receiving any yellow or red cards. Manchester United had to commit more fouls (11) compared to Liverpool (8), which could be an indication of United’s U21 side having to apply more defensive pressure throughout the game to maintain their lead.

In terms of substitutions, the home team looked to freshen things up more often, making one additional change compared to the away side, which may have provided an edge in terms of maintaining the intensity of their play towards the latter part of the match.

All these factors, when looked at collectively, suggest that Manchester United U21 was able to outperform Liverpool U21 due to superior shooting efficiency, disciplined defensive play and effective use of substitutions - key factors that likely influenced the final outcome of this encounter.
