Jamie Redknapp has said it might be "inevitable" Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho will be dismissed if his side are beaten by Liverpool on Sunday.
The traditional giants of English football meet in the Premier League at Anfield, with the Reds on top of the division after a great start to the campaign.
United have struggled to keep up with the top sides and reside in sixth as they chase the leading pack.
Defeat to Liverpool will leave the Red Devils 19 points behind their bitter rivals, and Redknapp said the potential loss would be too much for the Old Trafford giants to tolerate.
