Pundit Predictions: United v Liverpool

MUTV pundit Danny Simpson has shared his predictions for Manchester United's huge Premier League match against Liverpool at Old Trafford.

The former full-back expects young Academy graduate Willy Kambwala to come into the team at centre-back, after Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans both picked up injuries against Chelsea on Thursday night. 

Simpson is confident the youngster will rise to the occasion, too, predicting he will win the Man of the Match award this afternoon. 

Our MUTV pundit also expects another goal-laden thriller in M16, with Alejandro Garnacho playing a key role.
