Jamie Carragher believes the pressure lies with Liverpool ahead of Sunday's crunch top-of-the-table clash between Jurgen Klopp's champions and Premier League leaders Manchester United.
Despite being well off their scintillating best, the Reds are still strong contenders for top honours this season as they host Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's resurgent Red Devils at Anfield.
Klopp has ramped up the mind games in the build up to the mammoth contest, while Solskjaer has claimed there is no better time to end Liverpool's four-year unbeaten run at Anfield in the league.
And former Reds defender Carragher says the pressure is well and truly on the champions to establish their title credentials against their hopeful rivals.
