Dimitar Berbatov Predicts The Result As United Take On Liverpool

Ex-Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov is expecting his former club to come out on top when they face Liverpool at Anfield tomorrow evening.

Jurgen Klopp’s side have not lost at home in the league for three and a half years but Berbatov is backing United to spring a surprise result in the top of the table clash:

“I want to see United make the most of the position they are in and increase their lead at the top to six points clear of Liverpool. It’s going to be a tough game and there is a lot at stake. I think it will be a tactical battle but I don’t care how they do it, I just want to see United win, and I think they will continue to surprise people.”


Berbatov has gone with a 2-1 win to United, which is a very plausible scoreline, considering the form of the two teams. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men are high in confidence, following recent wins, and, as Berbatov mentions, they could go six points ahead of their rivals this weekend.

Liverpool, in contrast, have been struggling in front of goal, having scored just once in their last three league games against West Brom, Newcastle and Southampton.

Their lack of threat going forward, combined with their defensive vulnerabilities, due to the absences of Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez, mean the Red Devils do have a great chance of securing the win.
