"More pressure": Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Manchester United v Liverpool

Mark Lawrenson has given his prediction for the upcoming Premier League match between Manchester United and Liverpool. The Red Devils are currently sitting in 6th place in the league table following their 4 - 2 defeat to Leicester City last weekend. Meanwhile, The Reds are in 2nd place with 18 points. Both sides will be hoping to celebrate a win in the upcoming match, however, according to Lawrenson, the teams will play a 1 - 1 draw.

"Manchester United's performance to come back from 2-0 down against Atalanta and win 3-2 on Wednesday summed up what they are like under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. They can have spells where they are awful, as well as when they are very hard to stop," BBC pundit said.

"If United had been beaten then that would have been a bonus for Liverpool but, instead, both of them are on a high going into the weekend.

"There is probably more pressure on United to get a positive result, because they have dropped points in each of their past three league games, but a draw would not be a bad result for either camp and that's what I'm going for.

"Liverpool won't change the way they play - they can't. The reason I think United will shut up shop is because, if they are open, you would fear the worst for them."
