Why Man Utd Will Defeat Liverpool And Reduce His Title Prospects Sunday – Alejandro Moreno | Football | sport

This is the opinion of ESPN FC specialist and former Major League Soccer star Alejandro Moreno.

Liverpool can return to the top of the Premier League table if they avoid defeat at Old Trafford.

The Reds are tied for points with the country's leaders, Manchester City, and Sunday's game is their match against Pep Guardiola.

However, Liverpool have only won one of their last four outings in all competitions.

United, meanwhile, has 11 wins in 13 games under the command of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Solskjaer has not yet experienced defeat in the league since he became acting manager in December.

And Moreno thinks that the Red Devils will have a hold on their rivals to reduce their aspirations for the title.

"Manchester United are playing better than Liverpool right now, right now," said Moreno.

"It's hard to go to Liverpool.

"But it's harder to play Manchester United at home under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

"That's the stumbling block for Liverpool.

"The pressure, the title, this, that, the other.

"They [United] have a lot to gain from this, not a lot to lose. "

United will be deprived of Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard because of an injury.

Joe Gomez and Dejan Lovren are still expected to move to Liverpool.
