Liverpool and Manchester United are set to clash at Old Trafford in a Premier League fixture this weekend.Jamie Carragher thinks both teams haven’t been great recently and predicted the tie will end as a draw.That wouldn’t be a terrible result for either manager and their Champions League chances, but Arne Slot would need to win his second-ever away game at Old Trafford to make history as Liverpool’s manager.
