Carra predicts Liverpool-United will be 'extra special'
Liverpool, Manchester United, a night game at Anfield – the ingredients for something 'extra special' according to Jamie Carragher.
A 16-day gap between fixtures due to the international break would always have ensured high anticipation among Reds fans for their team’s next outing, especially given the promising start they have made.
But the fact that the occasion sees rivals United visit the newly-expanded Anfield, and under the floodlights too, is making the wait almost unbearable.
The feeling is no different for Liverpool legend Carragher, who believes the game has an edge even in comparison to the growing number of massive match-ups in the division.
“It feels like in the Premier League every game is a big game now,” he commented.
“This is extra special, under the lights at Anfield, and there have been some great games there, you think of the 3-3 game all that time ago. It will be a great atmosphere, and I think Liverpool will go in confident with the way they’re playing.
“But it’s always difficult on the back of international games – who you bring back, what time they come back, did anyone pick up any injuries? So that will have bearing too.”
