What does Lawro think?

Man Utd v Liverpool (16:00 GMT)

Manchester United got a 0-0 draw at Anfield in October in a game that was basically a Jose Mourinho masterpiece.

His gameplan was to restrict Liverpool to relatively few chances, and it worked.

United will be far more ambitious in attack at Old Trafford, however, and Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has some big decisions to make over the fitness of some of his players.

If Joel Matip is 75% fit I think Klopp will be tempted to play him, especially if Jordan Henderson is not quite ready.

This is a massive game for both teams and I think it will end up with a point apiece. I think Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham would settle for that result too.

Lawro's prediction: 1-1

Paul Merson have an idea>
United have won six on the spin in the league but they started this run sixth in the league and they are still sixth. I think they are big players if they win this match, but if they lose then you are looking at whether they will get in the top four. That’s how tight it is at the top at the moment.

PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (15/2 with Sky Bet)
