⚽️ Score predictions
WhoScored’s Josh Wright: Man United 1-0 Liverpool
“Momentum should be with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side. Liverpool are enduring their first crisis of Jurgen Klopp’s tenure. Added to Liverpool’s current slump, Jurgen Klopp has never won at Old Trafford on five previous opportunities.”
Sports Mole’s Barney Corkhill: Man United 1-0 Liverpool
“Liverpool’s attack is too good for their drought to last much longer, but the worrying thing for Klopp is that the chances – not just the finishing – have largely dried up too, to the point where it is difficult to back them to even score at the moment. It may be another tactical battle for long spells, but on current form we expect the hosts to progress through to the fifth round.”

⚽️ Quotes from the manager (via MUTV)
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: “It’s about taking a moment in a game and I feel we’re getting there. It’s always been in the DNA of United that we attack quickly, we go fast and we have quick players who want to get up the pitch quickly.”
