Berbatov gives prediction for Liverpool vs Manchester United

Liverpool play host to Manchester United on Sunday afternoon, with 10 points separating the two sides.

Liverpool currently top the league, while United are down in sixth place.

Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov is backing Liverpool to win the tie.

Berbatov said in his predictions for Betfair: “When we talk about Liverpool, we talk about Mohamed Salah, and we talk about consistency.

“Salah is a Liverpool legend in his own right. The way he plays football and what it brings to the team while having a coach that understands you like Jurgen Klopp, then you will get results.

“Salah is the main threat for Liverpool, but they have many great players. Klopp is smart enough to explore the weaknesses of Man United in their form, and we know Liverpool will start the game like mad dogs, they’ll chase, bite, and probably score.

“Man United used to score goals when the opposing team needed to score to get a result. In the last two games, Man United have not scored. Now they play Liverpool, who have Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alisson in a world-class defence.

“I want to see Man United get into more goalscoring opportunities. I want to say Man United will score, but I think it may be too much for them this time.”

Berbatov predicted a 2-0 victory for Liverpool.
