The Premier League features a huge clash between Liverpool and Manchester United this weekend. Here are five bold predictions for all the action.
The Premier League returns Saturday after the international break. Liverpool host Manchester United to kick off the weekend’s action on Saturday, before West Brom visit Leicester on Monday to finish off matchweek 8. Here are five bold predictions about what will happen.
1. Mourinho and Klopp have touchline bust up
Saturday’s early kickoff sees Liverpool welcome Manchester United to Anfield in what has the potential to be one of the games of the season. In recent years, this game has lacked the fire that is commonly associated with it but now, with Mourinho at the helm at United, it has a much juicier feel to it.
Manchester United are performing like the team they were five years ago and although Liverpool aren’t the finished article yet, they are more of a force to be reckoned with. The two sides have two of the most exciting managers in the league, especially when it comes to touchline antics.
We foresee this game getting feisty early on and Martin Atkinson will have his work cut out managing this game. However, the real battle is going to be between the two teams’ coaches on the sidelines.
A contentious decision here or a brilliant goal there is enough to set Klopp and Mourinho off on one. By the end of the game we predict Klopp and Mourinho will be at each other’s throats and both could be watching the end of the game from the stands.
