Hello and welcome to the Sky Sports Football Weekend preview.

0:03.0

In a special edition of the podcast, we'll be focusing on this weekend's huge clash between Liverpool and Man United at Anfield,

0:08.0

which you can watch live on Sky Sports Premier League from 4pm on Sunday.

0:12.0

Will Liverpool make it 13 Premier League wins on the spin, or can Man United, the only team to have taken points off the Premier League leaders this season upset their fierce rivals. I'm Peter Smith, the Sky Sports Football Features Editor, and joining me in the studio

0:25.4

this week to dissect the game are two of our top football journalists. Gerard Brand. Hi. Hey,

0:30.4

and Olly You. Hello. How's it going, guys? Good, thank you, yeah. Good. You had to think

0:36.1

about that. Yeah, yeah. Very excited. I mean, this game feels big and it's no different this time. There's always a sort of narrative around it. We can always find a narrative and there always is. Yeah, it's very excited. It's always one to mark your calendar for this one. We'll also be joined by two Sky Sports News reporters who have their ears to the ground at each club. Liverpool expert Vinnie O'Connor and Manchester United Man James Cooper will be joining us later in the show. Plus if that wasn't enough Liverpool legend Jamie Carragough will be sharing his verdict on the big game in part three of this podcast. First up though Gerard, you're at Old Trafford back in October. Yeah. To see that one one draw. Still the only time that a team has stopped Liverpool winning in the Premier League this season. So what are your memories of that game and how old and Solishell managed to take a point off this Liverpool side?

1:31.6

it's the only time this season that Liverpool have looked seriously unsettled for a long

1:37.1

period of a game. But once again, United really began to sat in, whether that was to protect

sort of spent probably more of the latter and Liverpool just about managed to get something

1:49.0

for Adam Llanar now there were a couple doubts after Liverpool game it was really their

1:53.8

first sign of weakness in the season their new defensive line was sort of questions but I

1:58.5

mean it's fair to say they haven't really looked back since yeah it's's been some response isn't it? You know winning. Just winning, winning, winning, winning and winning

2:06.1

week after week after that game to take this huge commanding lead they've got at the top of the

2:11.5

Premier League table. 14 points with a game in hand over Man City and really looking nailed on for

2:16.2

the title. Of course we should say after that first game, Jogan Klopp pointed out that there were a couple of

2:21.3

VAR calls that went against Liverpool.

2:24.3

There was a, you know, that challenge from Lindelof on Rigi in the buildup to Rashford's goal,
