Former Liverpool manager and player Kenny Dalglish has backed his old club to beat their long-term rivals Manchester United ahead of their north-west derby this weekend, as part of the Big Call with BetStars.

In a new Big Call video, Dalglish, who won over 20 major trophies as both a player and manager for Liverpool, is expecting the clash to be a tight game that will see Liverpool come away with a 2-1 win. Dalglish has also predicted that midfielder Philippe Coutinho will score first.

The Big Call is an exciting series that pushes sports stars to share their predictions ahead of major events in the sporting calendar, which are then shared on BetStars social media. Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha was the last star to take part in the Big Call.
