The Reds are the only Premier League side yet to taste defeat in the League, they will be hoping to get one over the Red Devils on Sunday.
What’s at Stake
Maximum points
Manchester United occupy the 7th position in the League table, therefore, every point is as precious as the League trophy.
They are surely going to go all out against the Merseyside club so as to score many goals as fast they can.
Liverpool, on the other side, are sitting uncomfortably at the summit of the log, this is because only one point separates them from Manchester City.
Klopp’s men are on a mission to win their first Premier League trophy in more than four years, so, three points are the least they are targeting against Mourinho’s men.
Pride
Since the start of the Premier League many years ago, Liverpool and Manchester United have been bitter rivals.
Both sides are the most successful clubs in the country, having won 38 League titles within themselves. This makes Sunday’s encounter a highly anticipated one.
Each team will definitely want to record another famous victory at the end of the high-profile game. It’s surely going to be a cracker.
Player to watch out for
Liverpool
Mohammed Salah
Four goals in two matches, Liverpool striker Mohammed Salah is the first player everyone — including United players — will be keeping a close eye on.
The Egyptian star was the hero for the Reds against Napoli on Tuesday. His goal was all the Merseyside club needed to progress through to the next round of Champions League competition.
Almost all Anfield faithful are currently counting on his help them get past Mourinho’s men on Sunday.
Mane, Firmino and Alisson Becker all deserve to be mentioned in the list of players to watch out for Sunday.
Manchester United
Anthony Martial
The Frenchman is back to his beastly mood and he’s capable of scoring against any opponents.
The 22-year-old striker has gained Mourinho’s trust with a series of brilliant showings in recent weeks. He will be a handful for Liverpool backline due to his pace, shots and passing skills.
Marcus Rashford, and Diogo Dalot both deserve a place in the list of United players to watch.
