Former Premier League striker, Sutton predicts 5-0 Man United bashing at Liverpool

Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton believes Liverpool will thrash Manchester United 5-0 on Sunday when both sides meet in their 2024/25 Premier League matchweek 20 clash at Anfield.

Sutton, who played for Norwich City, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Birmingham City and Blackburn Rovers and scored 83 goals with 41 assists in 255 Premier League appearances wrote on his weekly BBC column Manchester United have no chance of stopping the rampaging Liverpool side who have scored 45 goals in 18 games so far this season.

“The historic rivalry between these two clubs is intense but, on the pitch, the contest is not even close at the moment.

“Manchester United boss Amorim is talking about being in a relegation battle and you can see why.

“His side were torn apart in the first 30 minutes by Newcastle at Old Trafford on Monday, and why would anything be different at Anfield?

“Whoever Liverpool pick, they have got goals in their team and United have no chance of keeping them out.

“The scoreline won’t hit double figures but anything else is possible, and that is me being nice to United. Liverpool should demolish them, and they will demolish them – it is just a question of how many goals they get.

“United will play for pride, play for the badge and for the jersey and all of that, but it won’t make any difference.

“Liverpool are in a different stratosphere at the moment and I feel sorry for Amorim because this is going to be another painful afternoon for him. ”

Sutton who scored seven goals in 19 games against Liverpool and three in 14 appearances against Man United during his time predicts a 5-0 win for the Anfield team.
