Jamie Carragher believes Manchester United could shock the Premier League with a win at Anfield.
Former Reds player Jamie Carragher surely knows the importance of the big Premier League derby between Liverpool and Manchester United.
However, the stakes have never been higher in the past 10 years, as both sides face each other at Anfield next Sunday.
The rivals face each other as both Premier League title contenders for the first time since 2009.
United are heading into the big game as league leaders, three points ahead of the reigning champions. They will be looking to make a huge statement with a win at Anfield as they chase their first title since 2013.
“I actually think it’s a bigger game for Liverpool,” Carragher told Sky Sports. “The onus is more on them.”
“If United got a result there, that’s when the belief would come that they could win the league.
I still think people think United may fall away and Liverpool have still got that edge, but if they won at Anfield that would send shockwaves through the Premier League.
“It’s a game where Liverpool need to show they are the champions, they are the better team, get the result and also a performance that puts Manchester United back where they are.”
The rivals will face each other twice in just one week, as they are set for an FA Cup fourth-round tie on January 24.
