Manchester United FA Cup winner Paul McGrath is convinced of their chances today at Liverpool.

He wrote for the Sunday World: "I'm going to stick my neck out and say that Manchester United can win today's huge Premier League, top-of-the-table showdown with Liverpool.

"But only if they ditch the sterile tactics employed against Manchester City before Christmas.

"This game won't end 0-0 as that one did, when the fear of losing overtook two normally attacking teams.

"So to get a win, or even a point, United will have to score one or maybe two goals at Anfield today – and they have to set out with an ambition to find them.

"Liverpool against Manchester United is one of the great games of world football, any day of the week.

"When they are first and second in the Premier League, it is just off the charts in importance and anticipation.

"The famous football phrase is that 'the table never lies'. Well that is very true – but only when you get to the end of the season."
