'Don't be so stupid!' - Pundits agree on Manchester United vs Liverpool prediction

Paul Merson and Chris Sutton have predicted whether or not Manchester United will defeat Liverpool this weekend. Erik ten Hag will lock horns with Jurgen Klopp at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon as either side hopes to book a place in the FA Cup semi-final.

Elsewhere, Wolves will face Coventry City, Manchester City face Newcastle United before Chelsea host Leicester City at Stamford Bridge. United head into the clash off the back of a 2-0 win against Everton thanks to a pair of spot-kicks dispatched by Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.

Liverpool will still be on cloud nine after storming past Sparta Prague 6-1 in the Europa League round of 16 second leg. While Jurgen Klopp's side may be full of confidence, Mohamed Salah did, however, play a full 90 minutes at Anfield on Thursday night despite having only recently returned from the treatment room.

"It's not going to be a nice watch for them. Wataru Endo is a player I've been really impressed by, what a signing he's been! Very rarely does Klopp get it wrong with transfers, I can't recall looking at one of their signings over the years and
