Jamie Carragher has predicted a ‘really tough’ win for Liverpool against Manchester United on Monday - but added that the Reds could have a certain weakness exposed on the night.
Jurgen Klopp’s men travel to Old Trafford at the start of next week looking for their first win of the season, with draws against Fulham and Crystal Palace reflecting a lacklustre start amid a host of injuries. But while there is an expectation around Merseyside that things will pick up, the picture around Manchester is much more bleak with Erik Ten Hag’s side bottom of the table and on zero points after defeats against Brighton and Brentford.
Liverpool fans will need no reminding of last season’s trip to Old Trafford, when a Mohamed Salah hat-trick contributed to a 5-0 win - with all five goals scored within 50 minutes - while the 4-0 triumph at Anfield in April was equally as one-sided. But while the Red Devils remain in disarray coming into the new campaign, former Reds captain Carragher is expecting the home side to step up to the occasion.
