“Manchester United will turn up, make a game of it” – Joe Cole refuses to pick one-sided Liverpool win as he predicts result of Premier League clash 

Joe Cole believes Liverpool’s game against Manchester United will be a close contest

Former Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole believes that the Reds won't have a free run against Manchester United this weekend. The Red Devils arrive at Anfield on Sunday, January 5, to face Arne Slot's men in the Premier League.

Both clubs are in contrasting form at the moment. While the Merseyside team is flying high under Slot, Ruben Amorim has struggled to get his side going since taking charge in November last year.

Manchester United arrive at the game on the back of a four-game losing streak and have lost four of their last five games in the league. They are 14th in the Premier League table after 19 games, with nine defeats and six wins to their name.
