While Tottenham failed to unlock a well-built Newcastle defence, Liverpool should have too much quality and creativity for Steve Bruce’s side.
A 3-0 home win is our prediction.

It's been a pretty decent match so far. Man Utd started strongly and won a penalty. Rashford converted to give United the lead but since then Leicester have dominated the ball, created some good chances and have fought back well.
We should be in for a good second half.
Man Utd 1 - 0 Leicester
Leicester have had more possession, more shots and more corners. Man Utd's lead looks very vulnerable at the moment so Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will want to change that in the second half.
