Savage – who spent five years at Leicester between 1997 and 2002 – was also chosen to give his pre-match thoughts on the fixture.
And the ex-Wales international was referencing his former club’s good form on Boxing Day when he decided to poke fun at Scholes.
He said: “We had a good record against Liverpool, did the double over Scholesy’s Manchester United in one season.”
Yet quick as a flash Scholes fired back: “We probably won the double as well that year.”

Fans on Twitter found the exchange hilarious, with one saying: “He’s done him.”
Another replied: “Robbie found someone more Savage than him.”
A third added: “Goddammit Scholes, stop tackling players off the ball.”
Scholes ironically had named Savage as one of the toughest opponents he came up against last month.
Meanwhile neither of the retired footballers former sides had the edge on Boxing Day with their clash ending 2-2.
Marcus Rashford bounced back from missing an early sitter to put the away side ahead following a poked through ball by Bruno Fernandes.
Yet Leicester fought back and hauled themselves level through a Harvey Barnes rocket.
Bruno Fernandes put the Red Devils back in front late on but a deflected Jamie Vardy shot saw the game end all square.
