I think Liverpool will win very, very comfortably.

I am going to go 3-0.”Liverpool will win but the scoreline will not be as bigWhen you look at the results in the two previous Anfield meetings of the teams, those 0-0 and 2-2 draws indicate that even with their poor form, this Ruben Amorim side can still be a thorn in this squad’s side.While 3-0 looks correct on paper, given that the teams are lightyears apart in terms of talent and cohesion, in reality, because of the poor results, a more conservative look would suggest a 2-1 victory.It feels as though it will be very similar to a game from the early Premier League run of five games, where they may take an early lead but let United back in.Time will tell, of course, but Sunday does promise to be an exciting return to league action.
