The most titanic clash between Liverpool and Manchester United of recent years takes place on Sunday with three points separating the top two sides ahead of kick-off.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes his side's trip to Anfield could not have come at a better time after going top of the pile with victory against Burnley on Tuesday.
United have won each of their last four top-flight games and have remarkably not lost in the Premier League since the defeat by Arsenal in November when the Norwegian was heavily under the cosh.
Jurgen Klopp's Premier League champions meanwhile continue to feel the absence of Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez at the heart of the defence, with the Reds winless in the Premier League since their 7-0 mauling of Crystal Palace.
