Manchester United can genuinely go above Liverpool, David Moyes needs a win and we can’t wait to see the choas Amadou Onana can cause from the start for Everton…
Game to watch – Manchester United v Liverpool
You would have got very long odds on these two having just a couple of points between them after their opening two games of the season.
Many of us were hoodwinked into believing Erik ten Hag could cure the many United ills, only for him to be dragged into the mire through two of the club’s most embarrassing defeats in Premier League history.
The United manager will no doubt say they’re going for the win against their great rivals on Monday, but privately he will likely be praying for anything short of an absolute mauling.

They’ve been a big game team under Tuchel.
A greater test of Chelsea’s prospects this season will be their ability to swat teams like Leeds aside. The same fixture last season saw them toil throughout, only for Jorginho to save them from the…
