Manchester United have won seven of their last nine home league games against the Reds but they will be well aware what a chasing they got at Anfield in the reverse fixture – the last game of Jose Mourinho’s tenure.
United have been a revelation under Ole Gunnar Solksjaer and easily brushed aside a disappointing Chelsea at Stamford Bridge earlier in the week. Even a draw would see United’s boss set a new Premier League record for the number of points gained in the first 10 games of a managerial tenure – he is currently tied with Guus Hiddink on 25.
Liverpool would have liked to have taken a lead to Bavaria for their second leg Champions League clash with Bayern Munich next month, although it is possible that their Anfield clean sheet will be the deciding factor when qualification is decided.
The Reds have lost just one of their last 13 Premier League away games and I feel Sunday’s Old Trafford clash of the titans will end in an entertaining draw – a result that will take Liverpool back to the top of the division with 11 games to go.
