Liverpool v Man Utd: Why this is a wonderful time to play Red Devils - Danny Murphy analysis

Let's be clear, this is a wonderful time for Liverpool to be playing Manchester United - their confidence is low and there is pressure mounting on their manager Erik ten Hag and his players.

This is always a unique fixture because of the history and rivalry between the two clubs, and you just don't get an opportunity like this very often, where one team is in such a bad way.

Of course one club is always below the other in the table, and may not be having a great time, but it's still rare to see either of them facing the sort of scrutiny that United are under right now because their performances have been so poor.
