Liverpool pull of one of the shocks of the season

Liverpool pulled off one of the shocks of the season on Saturday with their four-one victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The last time United lost so heavily at home was New Year's Day 1992, when they lost by the same scoreline to Queens Park Rangers.

Some may think that the win gives Liverpool and more so Chelsea a glimmer of hope of snatching the title from United, and of course neither will truly give up until it is mathematically over, but they are both chasing a lost cause.

I fully expected United to beat Liverpool, so it was a shock to the system to see them beaten so convincingly at home, but nonetheless I am certain I will not experience any more shocks like that this season and the Red Devils will win the title comfortably.

Even if United do falter in their next match, a potentially tricky encounter against Fulham at Craven Cottage, the Premiership takes a break for International matches the following week, which will break up any bad run which United could be embarking on.

In League Two, the game of the day was indeed produced by first-placed Brentford and second-placed Wycombe. Despite both sides' impeccable defensive records this season and the previous low-scoring encounters between the sides at Griffin Park, the match produced a three-all draw.

It was a good result for both sides, but possibly more so for Wycombe in light of Brentford's loss at home to Chesterfield last night.

Wycombe are now seven points behind the league leaders with two games in hand.

The match I watched on Saturday was at Bamber Bridge, who surprisingly lost to a deserving Garforth Town in the Unibond First Division North. The result has potentially blown the chance that Brig had of a play-off place as they have dropped out of the play-off places and every other side has games in hand over the Lancashire side.

Here are how my predictions faired at the weekend:

Grimsby I predicted to beat Chester away comfortably, but the Mariners, who are second-bottom of the table continued to fail to live up to what is expected of Mike Newell's side and only managed a one-all draw, despite taking the lead

Leyton Orient had a good chance away at Stockport, and did win, by a goal to nil

Peterborough I predicted would win and they did, even with 10 men for most of the game against local rivals Northampton in League One

Leeds also did as I expected and saw off Swindon Town, albeit in a narrow one-nil win
