Jamie Carragher has tipped Liverpool to take the points against Manchester United

"It's a huge game historically but you would want these games deciding league titles, FA Cups and other trophies really, but it’s always a big game and always will be.

"I fancy Liverpool with the form that they are in but Manchester United did play really well last week.

"I just think it being at Anfield, and watching Liverpool beat Man City there a couple of weeks ago, if they put in the same performance they may just shade it, 2-1."
