This weekend, two of the top teams in the Premier League, Liverpool and Manchester United, will go head to head at Old Trafford. The match has been highly anticipated as it will see Jurgen Klopp and Erik ten Hag, two of the most renowned managers in European football, face off against each other.
Former Arsenal and England striker Ian Wright has shared his thoughts on the upcoming clash, saying that he is worried for Manchester United. Wright believes that Liverpool, who currently hold a two-point lead at the top of the table, have the potential to give their bitter rivals a tough time on their home turf.
In their last match, Liverpool managed to overcome a second-half scare to secure a victory against struggling Sheffield United at Anfield. This win allowed them to maintain their lead over Arsenal in the league standings. On the other hand, United are looking to bounce back after a heartbreaking defeat to Chelsea in their last game, where they conceded two goals in stoppage time.
The Red Devils currently find themselves in sixth place, 11 points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa and a staggering 22 points behind league leaders Liverpool. With just one win in their last five matches, their confidence has taken a hit, but they will surely take encouragement from their recent victory over Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
However, Wright believes that United's recent form and the departure of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will play into Liverpool's hands. He predicts that the Reds, who are known for their ruthless nature, will be focused and determined to put United in their place.
Wright also expressed his concern for United's defense, especially with the young and talented Alejandro Garnacho leading the line for Liverpool. He believes that at this crucial stage of the season, Liverpool will be ready to dominate and potentially hand United another "good hiding".
United's home ground, Old Trafford, was once considered a fortress, but Wright no longer sees it that way. With 12 defeats this season, six of them at home, United have struggled to maintain their stronghold. Wright believes that if Liverpool come ready and with their heads in the game, it could be a huge problem for United.
With so much at stake for both teams, this match is sure to be a thrilling and intense encounter. Fans will be eagerly waiting to see which team will come out on top and claim the bragging rights in this long-standing rivalry.
