BT Sport's panel have always come in for a bit of slack and this weekend is no exception. Owen Hargreaves, David James and Steve McManaman all predicted not just that Liverpool would win with a certain degree of comfort but also that Man United would also not finish in the top four.
Steve McManaman went one step further, confidently predicting a 3-0 win for his former team;
I think they'll win comfortably, I think they're a better team at the moment, I think they're in good form, I think in these type of games suggests that goals will be scored, that both teams will attack and I think that Liverpool will have too much for them

Now, a Liverpool win wasn't outside the realm of possibility but very few expected either team to win comfortably. Steve McManaman's prediction was always a long-odds shot but it looks a tad laughable after the event.
