Owen Hargreaves has claimed that ‘everybody is scared’ of facing Liverpool and Manchester United will be ‘fearful’ of going to Anfield on Tuesday night, as he told Premier League Productions (16/04/22 at 5:25 pm).
Over the weekend, Liverpool beat Man City 3-2 to book their FA Cup final ticket against Chelsea and keep up their dream of doing the impossible this season.
There has been a lot of talk about the Merseyside club possibly winning multiple trophies, even all four.
Of course, a certain Manchester United, who are the only English side to win the treble, will want to try and stop those chances when they lock horns with their bitter rivals in the Premier League tomorrow night.
Nonetheless, this is what Hargreaves had to say about this current Liverpool side and the difficulties teams are facing against them.
“Everybody is scared to play Liverpool,” said Hargreaves. “Even that Man City team, which is one of the best we have ever seen. They are hard to play against Liverpool.
“They go toe-to-toe with you. Everybody competes. The tactics. They never give up. Even when they lose they don’t play poorly.
“Man United will be fearful walking out at Anfield.”
Given the problems Man United have been going through this season, added with that thrashing during the reverse fixture at Old Trafford, then it’s obvious who will be the favourites.
That probably makes someone like Man United even more dangerous because some of their individual stars can spark some magic out of nothing and out of nowhere.
This will be a tougher game than many imagine but, added with the Merseyside derby on Sunday, these are the types of matches that win you the Premier League title.
The same applies to Manchester City, but any sniff of dropping points anywhere during these coming weeks could prove to be fatal in becoming champions of England.
