With his latest essay, “Magic Man” Paul Merson makes a comeback and explains why he believes Manchester United will win on Sunday despite Liverpool’s new, “safer” style.
In Erik ten Hag’s first season in charge, United opened the season against the Reds in their third game, and they will look to repeat that success. United has won two of their last three games played at home versus Liverpool.
Arne Slot’s first two games as Liverpool manager have gone perfectly, as he easily defeated Brentford and Ipswich. However, the Super Sunday match, which will air live on Sky Sports Premier League, will undoubtedly be the biggest test of his young Anfield tenure.
Discover why Merse believes that Man Utd will be more prepared to play against Slot’s Liverpool than his predecessor, Jurgen Klopp, and why, by the end of September, the following three Premier League games will “define” Arsenal’s season.
Man Utd will win their matchup with “safe” Liverpool.
It’s finally here—a massive football match. Liverpool needs to visit Manchester United and obtain a result; for Man Utd supporters, this is the ultimate cup final. Consistency is the one thing about Manchester United that we have been doubting in recent years. They played some excellent football against Fulham, so I thought they did okay.
They were unlucky to lose to Brighton because the disallowed goal struck his knee, but they still shouldn’t have lost the game. At the very least, you leave there with a tie.
I don’t think Man Utd will lose this match. I believe Man Utd will cause Liverpool problems, and I anticipate a thrilling 2-2 draw.
