United are no great shakes at the moment and while they have some good players who can hurt you going forward, defensively they are poor and the midfield must be the area Liverpool will look to dominate on Sunday. It's all about what we do on the day.

It's the worst run of his time at Anfield so far and despite winning the title just a few months ago, there might even be talk of some pressure on the boss if they lose.” Liverpool.com says: It is far too early to be talking about Slot being under pressure if Liverpool loses again on Sunday - he won the league only a few months ago! It's about time some of the new signings found their feet, and there's no better time to do that than against your biggest rivals.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.
