Chris Sutton’s Prediction for Liverpool vs Manchester United

Chris Sutton has made his predictions for all this weekend’s Premier League matches but it is the Liverpool vs Man Utd prediction that caught our eye, with Sutton going for a big win for Liverpool.

The hosts are top of the table going into the weekend and with City dropping points yesterday, the Anfield crowd will want their side to extend the lead over their title rivals.

See below what Sutton’s prediction is and the odds for his correct score bet.

 

Sutton Predicts a 4-0 win in Liverpool vs Man United

“With the attacking players that Liverpool have got, I am absolutely certain that they will win. I honestly don’t think United have a chance.

The injuries that defenders Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw suffered against Bayern are a blow for Erik ten Hag’s side and, at the other end, they barely carry a threat.

United can only win by playing counter-attack but for that to work their forwards will need to offer far more than we’ve seen from them recently.

Maybe Antony will chop inside and bend one into the top corner this time, but I doubt it – he hasn’t scored yet this season.

It is possible we will see some more brilliance from Alejandro Garnacho, and his pace could cause Liverpool problems down their right side.

But I don’t really know whether Rasmus Hojlund is any good or not, because the service he gets is non-existent.

In United’s midfield I’ve watched Sofyan Amrabat closely in the past couple of games – I was at Old Trafford to see them play Bournemouth and Bayern – and he is not a player who gets the ball on the half-turn and starts off passing moves.

Scott McTominay can nick a goal but it is not like you ever see him really getting into pockets of space and opening up teams.

Going forward, the combinations are just not there in the United team. They have only scored 18 goals in 16 league games this season, and they just don’t carry a big enough threat.

United still haven’t beaten anyone in the top half of the table, either. How can they win this game? There is just no way, unless some huge refereeing decisions go their way.

Liverpool are not just in the top half, they are a top team and they are in top spot – and they are going to spank them.”

Sutton’s prediction: 4-0 (bet on a 4-0 win at 16/1 with William Hill)
