Paul Merson has predicted the midweek round of Premier League fixtures, which includes Liverpool's match against Everton.
United come into the game at Old Trafford having won just one of their last eight Premier League games, but they did earn a crucial 1-1 draw away to league leaders Chelsea on Sunday.
Caretaker manager Michael Carrick is set to take charge of the Red Devils for the third time in a row, with newly-appointed interim manager Ralf Rangnick still awaiting his work visa.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have lost just one of their last 11 matches in all competitions, putting them in fifth place in the table – five points and three positions ahead of their next opponents.
In other news, Chelsea will look to build on their strong start to the season against Claudio Ranieri's Watford, who thrashed Manchester United 4-1 in their last home game.
Liverpool host Merseyside rivals Everton at Anfield, with Rafael Benitez's side winless since September, leaving them in 14th place in the table.
Also this week, Aston Villa host second-placed Manchester City, Tottenham host Brentford, West Ham United welcome Brighton, and Norwich travel to Newcastle United in a crucial game at the bottom of the table.
I honestly believe there is only one winner here. If you're an Everton fan, you're probably hoping that this game doesn't turn into a slugfest.
Everton can only play this game one way: by putting 11 men behind the ball and attacking on the counter.
At the moment, I don't believe Everton have enough to hurt Liverpool.
They've had a lot of injuries this season in the Premier League, and they'll have to work hard to get a result here.
The gulf between the two Merseyside clubs is enormous.
Diogo Jota's work at Liverpool has been brilliant in my opinion.
Roberto Firmino is usually the glue that holds the front three together, and I believe he'll play in the big games when he returns.
At the moment, however, I can't say enough good things about Jota.
Liverpool has far too much quality for Everton and should win this Premier League match.
Prediction: Everton 0-3 Liverpool
