Fabinho has given his prediction on who will win later today when Liverpool host Manchester United at Anfield.
The Brazilian international started this fixture last season as Liverpool claimed a historic 7-0 win against Erik Ten Hag’s side, with some fans predicting a similar scoreline today.
The Red Devils have been in unusual form in recent weeks, yet with Bruno Fernandes out through suspension, there’s a chance that Liverpool can claim another huge result.
However, speaking to Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol, Fabinho has now predicted Liverpool to win at Anfield later today, though another 7-0 win is unlikely for the Reds.
The former Liverpool defensive midfielder said: “It’s hard to repeat this performance, this was a historic result and historic results don’t happen every season.
“But, I think the way they’re playing now, they have everything to win this game. Maybe Manchester United will be more defensive and try not to get a result like they did last time. But I think Liverpool will win this game.”
Liverpool will want to score as many as possible against Manchester United
Another 7-0 win or a scoreline even greater than this would be quite unprecedented for Liverpool today, though the players will be fired up to get a result.
United are once again in crisis having crashed out of Europe completely with the Red Devils already ten points off Liverpool in the Premier League standings.
And for Liverpool, they will want to give United another humbling today, with the Reds in excellent form this season, especially at Anfield.
Indeed, whilst today might not produce another 7-0 win, Liverpool know they can go to town on United and send their Premier League rivals back to Manchester in a bigger mess than they already are.
