LFC Globe Verdict

The Manager has selected arguably the best side available to take on Manchester United. And they’re going to need everyone playing at their highest possible level. United are in top form. Look for a high scoring match today.

I see goals in this game. I think Darwin gets at least one, with Cody Gakpo due for another. This afternoon’s game is a potential classic, but it would be a classic that ends in a 3-3 draw.
