Ole’s Manchester United are in fine form and would like to assert their dominance on arch-rivals Liverpool who is currently dealing with some huge issues as their unbeaten run at home of over 4 years was finally finished by a spirited Burnley team.
Ole’s Manchester United played out a draw at Anfield in their previous encounter at Merseyside but the Liverpool outfit looks like it is crumbling and this would be a great time for Manchester United to get one over Liverpool and Klopp
Manchester United have an amazing unbeaten streak in the Premier League and have also won most points this season from losing positions this season but domestic competitions have always been a tricky issue for them and a win over Liverpool at Old Trafford would give them a serious boost

TEAM NEWS
This Manchester United side looks like they are hungry to prove themselves and seem to have brought defensive stability at the back.
Paul Pogba is in fine form as he can’t seem to do anything wrong and Edinson Cavani is showing that he still has a lot to give at the age of 33 as he always finds the right positions and is having a great impact on the youngsters at the club.
RECENT FORM
Manchester United form: W-D-W-W-W
Liverpool form: D-L-W-D-L
KEY BATTLE
Paul Pogba vs Fabinho
While it looks highly unlikely that Klopp will be too keen on playing many of the regular first-team players for an FA cup time it feels that he may just have to count on Fabinho to anchor that backline due to the lack of proper first-team centre-backs at his disposal.
His experience will definitely play a big part and Paul Pogba who is in fine form just can’t stop doing the right things at the moment. He would definitely be a grave threat to the Liverpool defence.
MATCH PREDICTION
Manchester United are enjoying their best form in a really long time and even though they have failed to cross the major hurdles when it comes to domestic competitions, they look very threatening at the moment.
They have formed an elite mentality and the big players at the club are starting to step up to the plate. Klopp who is already frustrated with the lack of first-team players who are fully fit may choose to play a very inexperienced side which could only make things easier for Manchester United.
We predict that the game can end in either a 2-0 or 2-1 in favour of Manchester United but if we have learn’t anything is that you can never write of this Liverpool team.
