Manchester United and Liverpool will meet at Old Trafford on Sunday. Merseyside club will have a chance to return to the top of the table, while Red Devils are currently and would like to continue their unbeaten run in EPL under Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer. Sky Sports and BBC pundits have given their predictions for the match, and Liverpool fans will not love it. Paul Merson (Sky Sports) I look at when United got beaten by Paris Saint-Germain and I thought they were a million miles off; that's when you judge managers. When you are winning every week, it's a doddle, but it's when you get beaten, it's how you bounce back. I thought they were brilliant in the FA Cup at Chelsea in the way they played. If Liverpool get anything from this game, I think they have had a result. I am not saying that because I think Man Utd are a better team, but I think the pendulum has swung. You have a team that is very confident and a team that is very nervous and are snatching at chances. Look at Liverpool's game against Bayern Munich - two months ago, they would have scored two or three of those chances. I think United will have a go. They are not a team under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer that will sit back. They will take the game to Liverpool, and I think the nerves of Liverpool will be too much. Mark Lawrenson (BBC) Manchester United were excellent at Chelsea in the FA Cup on Monday - the result, and their performance too. It was probably their best display under interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, bearing in mind it came after they had been easily dealt with by Paris St-Germain. Paul Pogba was impressive again at Stamford Bridge and his improvement since Jose Mourinho was sacked is an example of how playing under a different manager can transform a player. It is true he should have been doing better under Mourinho, but it is perfectly obvious that Pogba needs loving to get the best out of him. He is such a good player that it is worth keeping him happy and when you have got someone as good as him playing well, it brings all the other players up to his level. With United playing at the level they are, this will undoubtedly be one of Liverpool's more difficult league games between now and the end of the season. They have to deal with the history of the whole Manchester United-Liverpool rivalry, and everything that goes with it, as well as United's recent revival. The atmosphere at Old Trafford will be white-hot. To come away with anything, the Reds will have to keep their heads. I know from playing in this fixture myself that the tackles will be flying in, so discipline is vital. No-one can afford to make a stupid lunge at someone early on because they will get sent off for it. Source - LiverpoolECHO
