Dwight Yorke wary of 'confident' Liverpool

Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke has admitted that Jose Mourinho's side face a difficult task in getting anything from their upcoming visit to Anfield.

United currently sit sixth in the Premier League table having lost two of their opening seven games of the season, but victory against Liverpool on Monday would see them move level with Jurgen Klopp's side.

Yorke is confident that his former team can come away with at least a point if Mourinho gets his team selection right, but acknowledged that the hosts will be full of confidence following their free-scoring start to the season.

"Mourinho is a man who has been around with great success and if he plays the right team and system we will get something from it," he told 888sport.

"There is more fluency in the side now but under Klopp Liverpool are full of confidence and playing some good football now. Going to Anfield is never easy, as I know from my experiences there."

United have won their last four Premier League meetings with Liverpool.
