Leading up to the match, former Liverpool defender Jose Enrique has offered his prediction. According to him, Klopp's men will "destroy" Manchester United with a scoreline of 5-0. Speaking on The Counter Attack podcast, the ex-Liverpool defender stated:

"I don't think Manchester United will get a result on Sunday. Obviously, when I was at Liverpool, I never felt we were so superior to Manchester United. When I played, it was more 50/50, and sometimes United was the better team.

It's still a tough game for Liverpool, but I really think they will win. Manchester United actually play worse at Old Trafford than when they play away – it's not the same as it used to be when I played. I would like Liverpool to win convincingly here – I think it will be 5-0. Right now they are scoring so many goals, and their attack is as good as it has been all season. I would love a big result – primarily for Liverpool, but also for Jurgen Klopp."

Jose Enrique represented Liverpool from 2011 to 2016, during which time he contributed to winning the Football League Cup in 2012.
