With both sides sitting in strong positions to secure Champions League qualification, the sense is that this fixture, while still huge, doesn’t quite carry the same edge it once did.

That feeling has now been echoed by Alan Shearer, who has become the latest voice to predict a draw between the two rivals.

Shearer predicts stalemate in Liverpool vs United

Speaking via Metro, the former Newcastle striker didn’t hold back in his assessment of the current state of both teams.

“It’s not the Liverpool or Man United we know at all from how they have played this season.”

That line sums up the mood around the game, because while we’ve picked up three straight wins, performances haven’t always been convincing, and United have shown similar inconsistencies.

Shearer also questioned whether the game would live up to its billing.
