Manchester United take on Liverpool at home on Sunday afternoon.
Premier League football returns after the international break and United will be desperate for three points, after finding themselves down to 14th in the league after eight games played.
However, league leaders Liverpool will be United’s opposition come Sunday and the fixture promises to be United’s toughest task yet this season.
While Liverpool are unsurprisingly favourites to win the game, which would be their first win at Old Trafford since March 2014, Charlie Nicholas, pundit and former Arsenal player, writing in his Sky Sports blog, predicts United will come out of the game with their heads held high.
He said: “It was always at Old Trafford where the great games were. Anfield was more atmospheric and vibrant, but this was always the test for Liverpool, as they have never won the Premier League.
“They have battered them on a few occasions and Man United still won the title, but this is do or die for United and a day of credibility for them to try and get a point, which I think they will do.
“They will scrap and sit in, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer knows that - they will not play expansively here.
“Man United will not want to get beat and walk away. This is a 'parking the bus' kind of game, in which they cannot take a risk.
“If they get beat and Liverpool embarrass them, then it could spell even more danger for Solskjaer. I feel Marcus Rashford will offer something here.”
And if offered a point before the game, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may take it, with his side still recovering from a 1-0 defeat to relegation battlers Newcastle.
The Norwegian will also be hoping Nicholas’ Rashford prediction will come to fruition, with the striker recently looking short on confidence in front of goal.
