Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has warned his side that they will not come up against a more motivated team all season than when Manchester United visit Anfield on Sunday.
The Red Devils travel to their bitter rivals 16 points adrift of them less than halfway through the current campaign, with a defeat on Merseyside likely to spell the end of Jose Mourinho’s increasingly slim title hopes at Old Trafford.
Their hosts look set for a serious title challenge and victory over United will see them return to the summit, ahead of champions Manchester City after the latter usurped them on Saturday.
