Maybe Manchester United vs. Liverpool just won’t have the same sizzle that it usually does, this time around. United will enter the rivalry grudge match coming off as demoralizing a loss as you’ll ever experience.
Cole Palmer, who grew up a Man United fan, bagged a hat trick to help Chelsea overturn a 2-3 deficit into a 4-3 winner. United conceded twice in stoppage time to snatch a draw, and then a defeat, from the jaws of victory.

While United just utterly collapsed at a mid-table side, maybe they’ll get fired up and figure it out against their most acrimonious of rivals.
After all, it was just three weeks ago that they knocked Liverpool out of the FA Cup and ended their quadruple hopes.
Also, the reverse fixture at Anfield was a draw, not a loss. So there is some reason for hope after all.
