The situation at the top of the Premier League adds extra edge to the latest clash between Liverpool and Manchester United for Mohamed Salah.
The Reds trail their arch-rivals by three points before hosting them at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, following a run of three games without a win in the top flight.
Those factors have only increased the players’ desire to defeat United this weekend, stated Salah, who acknowledged the heightened importance of this particular meeting.
“The game is really big at the moment, especially because now they are first and we are second,” the Egyptian told TV 2 in a preview to the showdown.
