"It'll be a tough game". Paul Merson states his prediction for Manchester United vs Liverpool

  Manchester United are preparing to host Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday, October 24. Ahead of the game, Paul Merson has stated his prediction on SportsKeeda. "This is the biggest game of the Premier League weekend and I've seen a lot of people say Liverpool are going to absolutely slaughter Manchester United. I don't buy into that narrative and I'll tell you exactly why. As Jamie Carragher said earlier, almost every player in the Manchester United starting XI cost nearly £50 million and they are undoubtedly the biggest club in world football, in my opinion. "They are playing at home against their arch-rivals with a team like this and no one gives them a chance? That is an absolute joke. It wouldn't happen anywhere else in the world, so you've got to ask yourself some serious questions. I know Manchester United and they just seem to do it when it needs to be done - we've seen it many times under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. "It'll be a tough game for both sides and if there's one thing Manchester United don't want, it's to lose to Liverpool at home. If they play like they did against Atalanta in the second half, I give them every chance of getting a positive result. This is a tough game for both sides and usually, Premier League encounters between these two teams fizzle out and pretty much nothing happens.I hope that isn't the case this time around. The atmosphere at Old Trafford will be electric and the fans will be right behind the players, but I'm predicting a 1-1 draw. "This is a big game so Mohamed Salah definitely deserves a mention - the figures he's putting up as a winger are beyond a joke. I don't think there is a better player than him in world football at the moment, because his numbers are absolutely flabbergasting. "Jadon Sancho is a £70m signing. At the moment, if he's worth that much, then Salah is worth around £200 million! I can't talk highly enough of the bloke - he scores 20 in a bad season and some of the goals he's scored in the past two weeks have been PlayStation goals! He is a phenomenal player and could well end up making the difference against Manchester United."   source - SportsKeeda / Join us on Telegram!/ Follow us on Twitter!
