Ian Wright has explained why he expects Liverpool to beat rivals Manchester United (Picture: BBC)Former Arsenal and England striker Ian Wright is backing Liverpool to clinch a crucial victory over Manchester United in this weekend’s much-anticipated Premier League clash. Defending champions Liverpool travel to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon sitting sixth in the Premier League, four points outside of the Champions League places. Manchester United will almost certainly finish second this season regardless of Sunday’s result but will hope to damage Liverpool’s top-four chances and delay Manchester City’s title celebrations. Wright believes the clash at Old Trafford has the potential to ‘very good’ and has tipped Liverpool to come away with three points despite their difficult season. Playing Champions League obviously is massive, especially from a financial point of view for the club so it’s really important.
