Ensure you do not miss a minute of the action from Anfield on Monday evening.
Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp
When Liverpool face Manchester United at Anfield, sparks are guaranteed to fly. There have been countless memorable moments in this fixture over the years, from John Arne Riise’s thunderbolt to John O’Shea’s late winner, and the latest clash between the two is one of the most intriguing yet.
The hosts go into the weekend in fourth and are in fine form having won four league games in a row, scoring 13 goals in the process. Manchester United, meanwhile, have been inconsistent so far; they were sublime in the 4-1 dismantling of champions Leicester but stuttered to a disappointing draw with Stoke prior to the international break.
The Key Battle – Jordan Henderson vs Paul Pogba
The England midfielder has been a key part of Jurgen Klopp’s side this season, and scored a screamer at Stamford Bridge to help the Reds on their way to an excellent away win. Pogba scored a fine goal himself for France over the international break and Mourinho will be hoping his marquee summer signing can bring that form with him to this fixture.
