Liverpool vs. Manchester United

Liverpool and United head into their clash in different form, with the former having won each of their last four matches and the latter winning just one of their last four.

The Red Devils need to rediscover their momentum quickly or they could find themselves lagging behind their title rivals even further. They could hardly have picked a worse opponent against whom to do that.

Aside from the pressures brought on by the two clubs’ bitter rivalry and by playing at Anfield, the Reds have been simply excellent this season. Sky Sports revealed the impact manager Jurgen Klopp has had on the side (via BigSport):
