Michael Owen names the result Manchester United might settle for against Liverpool FC
14.12.2023 - 16:31 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Michael Owen reckons Manchester United will be feeling nervous before their impending Premier League match against bitter rivals Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday afternoon (4.30pm).
United were demolished 7-0 in the same fixture last season and have mounting problems to contend with before getting down to business at the weekend. They were dumped out of Europe in midweek and might have up to 10 players unavailable through injury and suspension against their table-topping hosts.
Owen played for both clubs during his playing career. However, in his current role as a TV pundit, the 44-year-old can only see one winner when those sides lock horns.

Speaking to Boyle Sports - who offer the latest Premier League betting - he said: "I'd say United will be a little bit nervous about going to Anfield considering their recent form. Anfield can be a stadium where you may take a real beating and United have felt that in the past!
"Instead of going there with fear and defending the entire game, United should look at how Spurs played against Man City. They had a real plan and arrived at the Etihad Stadium with no fear.
"They could have easily lost 6-1, but that's the only way you improve. Once you have a blueprint, you can amend it from there."
Owen added: "My concern with United is that they'll go to Anfield and lose 2-0, then a few players will be relieved that it wasn't a 5-0 embarrassment! If I were them, I would pick a way of playing, stick to it and hope to get better.
"I'll say 2-0 to Liverpool. It'll be a reasonably comfortable win."
