Red Devils Struggling in Poor Form

Paul Merson, former Arsenal legend, is confident that Liverpool will dominate Manchester United in their upcoming clash on Sunday. Merson predicts a comfortable 3-0 victory for the Reds, stating that United's recent struggles make them easy prey for Jurgen Klopp's side.

Unbeaten Liverpool Positioned at the Top

While Liverpool remains unbeaten in nine Premier League games and sits at the top of the table, Manchester United has only managed one win in their last five matches. United's poor form was further highlighted by their elimination from the Champions League after a 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich.

"Easiest Call of the Weekend"

Merson dismisses the notion that the Liverpool-Manchester United match is a significant game, asserting that it is his "easiest call of the weekend." He points out that United's key players, including Bruno Fernandes, Luke Shaw, Raphael Varane, and Harry Maguire, are either suspended or injured, making it unlikely for them to pose a threat to Liverpool.

Liverpool Expected to "Rip Them Apart"

Merson confidently predicts that Liverpool will "rip apart" United, citing their recent poor performances and lackluster victories. He highlights United's heavy defeat at home against Bournemouth and believes that even Crystal Palace stands a better chance against Manchester City than United does against Liverpool.

United's Squad Criticized

Merson takes a dig at Manchester United's squad, claiming that manager Erik ten Hag will be forced to "throw players onto the pitch" due to the team's lack of quality. In contrast, he praises Liverpool's depth and options in midfield, singling out Curtis Jones as a player who understands the magnitude of the game and expects him to start.

Confidence in the Prediction

Merson, who regularly predicts Premier League results, expresses unwavering confidence in his forecast for this game. He acknowledges that he has made mistakes in the past but is not concerned about being wrong this time, given the current state of both teams.
