EXCLUSIVE: Dion Dublin Warns Liverpool That Manchester United Are “Due” for a Significant Victory Ahead of Their Clash at Anfield

The North-West Derby is set to ignite again this weekend, and this time, the tension couldn’t be higher. Former England striker Dion Dublin has issued a passionate warning to Liverpool ahead of their highly anticipated clash against Manchester United at Anfield, claiming the Red Devils are “due” for a major victory — one that could redefine their season.

Dublin, who represented Manchester United during his playing days, believes that despite Liverpool’s recent dominance in the fixture, the tide may finally turn. Speaking ahead of the encounter, the BBC analyst expressed optimism that United are on the brink of producing a statement performance capable of silencing critics and reigniting their campaign.

“Liverpool, be cautious — it’s going to be a tight match,” Dublin cautioned. “Manchester United are due for a big win. These are the matches that change everything.”

Liverpool approach this fiery derby after a worrying run of three consecutive defeats before the international break — a slump that has left fans questioning whether Arne Slot’s side can maintain their Premier League title defense. Manchester United, meanwhile, find themselves mid-table in tenth, with new boss Rúben Amorim still searching for his first away victory since taking charge nearly a year ago.

Despite their struggles, Dublin insists the rivalry has a life of its own. “This is one of those games that can go either way,” he said. “We all know Liverpool have been the stronger side in recent years, but this fixture ignores form. It’s about pride, history, and emotion. And that’s why I believe United are ready to surprise people.”

The last time United visited Anfield, they were demolished 7–0 under Erik ten Hag — a night that still haunts their fans. But since then, United have managed to avoid defeat in their last two away games against Liverpool. Dublin believes that mental resilience could be crucial this weekend.

“United have been through tough times,” he continued. “But they’ve rebuilt quietly. Amorim is creating something different — it’s just a matter of time before it clicks. And what better place for that moment than Anfield?”

However, Dublin didn’t downplay Liverpool’s quality. He acknowledged that the Reds, despite their slump, remain a dangerous opponent with world-class players who can turn a match on its head. “If Liverpool find their rhythm, no one can stop them,” he admitted. “I just hope United keep them from doing that. It’s going to be a thrilling battle.”

The former striker also emphasized that victory at Anfield could serve as a turning point for Manchester United’s season. “Winning this game would be massive for the players and the fans. It would unite the dressing room and remind everyone that United still belong at the top.”

As the title race intensifies, Dublin believes Liverpool will still be one of the favorites, alongside Arsenal and Manchester City, but insists United’s resurgence could shake things up. “It’s never just a two-horse race,” he said. “Arsenal look strong, Liverpool are dangerous, and City are lurking as always. But if United find momentum, they’ll force their way back into the conversation.”

With both clubs under pressure — Liverpool desperate to end their losing streak and United eager to prove their progress — Sunday’s clash promises fireworks. History, pride, and redemption are all on the line.
