Arsenal title winner Paul Merson expects Liverpool to be too strong against Manchester United.

United go to Liverpool undermanned and out of form.

He told Sportskeeda: "People keep saying this is a big game, but is that really the case? I think this is my easiest call of the weekend I expect Liverpool to win quite comfortably.

"Bruno Fernandes is suspended and the likes of Luke Shaw, Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire were substituted due to injuries against Bayern Munich, so it doesn't look good for them.

"Let me say it like this I'd be more shocked if Manchester United got a draw at Anfield than if Crystal Palace got a result against Manchester City.

"That's how confident I am that Liverpool are winning this, as Erik ten Hag's side are absolutely all over the place.

"They got a free swing against Bayern Munich but went out with a whip. Before that, they were absolutely slaughtered at home by Bournemouth and even if you look at the games they won, they just faltered over the line.

"I expect Liverpool to rip them to shreds, so I'm going for a 3-0 home win."
