Mike Norman says: "Even accounting for the fact that Liverpool are yet to win a league game this season, I just don't envisage any scenario in which they fail to beat United on Monday night.

"Both teams will undoubtedly lift themselves for this huge fixture, and with that in mind then it's impossible to argue that the Reds aren't streets ahead of United when it comes to ability, mentality, and togetherness.

"Klopp's men thrashed United in this fixture last season, racing to a 4-0 interval lead before winning 5-0, and they didn't even come out of second gear in winning the reverse fixture 4-0.

Mike's bet: Back Liverpool -1 @ 2.767/4

Patrice Evra: Manchester United Players "broken and traumatised"

Patrice Evra says: "We blame the board, the manager, and many people. But what about the players? I always have so much respect for the players but now I think it's time for them to take some responsibility.

I also blame Ten Hag - he's been fooled by all those players, the same way other managers have been fooled by them.

But now, I'm hurt so bad I have to tell the truth to them face to face.

The manner of the defeat against Brentford tells you that this team is traumatised.

Against Liverpool we will need a miracle. The only positive thing is Liverpool haven't won a game yet, so they also don't look ready yet.

Now, I don't trust Man United."

Premier League Big Match Focus: How to back a 10/1 Liverpool win at Man Utd

Tom Victor says: "Mohamed Salah needs one goal to become the first player to score double figures against Man Utd - good news for the Egyptian, but not the best sign for those who are hoping he slips up.

"His nine goals so far against this opposition include five across two league games last term, including a hat-trick inside the first 50 minutes at Old Trafford.

"The game could also see United lose five league games in a row for the first time in 50 years, with the current run stretching back to last season. Again, if you're a United fan then this won't sound great, but Liverpool supporters would surely love their team to become history-makers in this way.

"Half a century of history not doing it for you? Don't worry. If Erik ten Hag suffers a third straight defeat, he will become the first Man Utd manager to begin with a record of LLL since 1921."

Tom's bet: Back the 0-2 @ 11.0010/1

Monday Football Tips: Cash in on Keita with 15/1 Old Trafford Bet Builder

Paul Higham says: "We all know about Mo Salah's outstanding scoring run against United, and while we'll all be backing him to score his 10th goal against Liverpool's big rivals, what about the 13/8 on United's new left-back Tyrell Malacia to see a card.

"He's been decent in his limited time so far this season, but if Ten Hag does throw him in to replace Luke Shaw, then he looks ripe to get booked given the assignment he'll be facing.

"With Darwin Nunez suspended, Roberto Firmino will start up front and that's no bad thing for Liverpool if he's up to speed - as he's had two goals and two assists from his last three visits to Old Trafford in all competitions.

"Unsurprisingly then, Firmino is 10/11 for a goal or assist but is a nice component for your Bet Builders if you fancy the visitors to notch a few goals again."

Paul's bet: Back Keita & Firmino to score or assist & Fernandes to be shown a card @ 16.015/1

Hammarby v Degerfors: Hosts will hammer visitors

Hammarby 1.21/5 v Degerfors 18.017/1, the Draw 8.415/2
18:10

Tobias Gourlay says: "Third-placed Hammarby are hosting second-bottom Degerfors in the top-flight Allsvenskan. We fancy the home side to notch a comfortable win at the Tele2 Arena.

"Hammarby are W6-D3-L1 on their own patch this term. Against teams from outside the top five, that record firms to W6-D0-L1. The combined scoreline from those six wins is 16-1. The last four have all finished exactly 3-0.

"Degerfors are W1-D0-L8 on the road this season. That sole non-defeat came against the only team currently below them in the league. Against everyone else, they've lost 8/8 by a combined 3-17. The margin of defeat has been at least couple of goals in 6/8, so we'll take them to lose this one with something to spare."

Tobias's bet: Back Hammarby -1.5 & -2.0 @ 1.728/11

Sampdoria v Juventus: Dusan too much for hosts

Sampdoria 6.411/2 v Juventus 1.645/8, the Draw 4.216/5

Chloe Beresford says: "The last draw between these two teams came back in December 2014, since when Juventus have dominated the fixture, losing just twice and recording 13 wins, claiming victory in each of the last six clashes.

"The Bianconeri have won their opening two games in eight of the last 12 seasons, and in Dusan Vlahovic - who struck twice in their opening day triumph over Sassuolo - have a weapon who can unlock any defence.

"Indeed, the big striker has weighed in with five goals in four career starts against Sampdoria, a record which includes three goals at Marassi. With all that in mind, the tip here is to back Juventus to win and Vlahovic to score at any time, a market available at 2.588/5."

Chloe's bet: Back Juventus to win & Vlahovic to score at any time @ 2.588/5

Girona v Getafe: Double G's won't produce double goals

Girona 2.915/8 v Getafe 3.1511/5, the Draw 2.8815/8

Paul Robinson says: "Girona are back in the Spanish top flight for the first time in three years, but they were beaten in their opening La Liga match at Valencia. A 1-0 away defeat isn't a terrible result though, but they will hope to better that tonight.

"That is because they are entertaining Getafe, although entertaining might be a bit misleading. The visitors also failed to find the net last weekend, as they were beaten 0-3 at home by Atletico Madrid.

"Quique Sánchez Flores' side could only finish 15th last year, and they were the second lowest scorers in the division. They did however have the eighth best defensive record."
