Just looked at our record against United under Klopp and it's not good viewing!

Played - 9
Won - 1 (Europa League)
Lost - 4
Drew - 4

Ejaria's an interesting one... a lovely cultured midfielder, Sunderland and Scotland in general on the surface don't look like good moves for him. But I wonder if it's a bit of the "playing a defender in midfield to improve their ball playing" type of process, where the club are actively putting him in fairly rough situations to beat some of the 'Arsenal kid' out of him, and beat some steel into him.

I'd take him back and loan him to a premiership team if possible for the second half of the season

Apart from a spell under Ged (Danny Murphy screamers) Liverpool have been consistently crap v Utd.

Danny Murphy got a few beauties against them alright.

Whatever about our current form vs United, we are currently top of the table with no games lost out of 15 and 6 goals conceded. Bring on United.

Said it weeks ago to a friend and think I said it here as well that I expected us to stay unbeaten until this game. Jose loves ruining my life. And everyone elses, for that matter. Although it's at Anfield so I'm a bit more hopeful.

Well we haven't dropped a single point to anyone lower than fifth so we should be fine. Been handling the mid-table fodder so far.

might go with a Mourinho 10 men camped in the box special.

Yep. I'd say that's exactly what will happen.

And just to make it even better, Roy keane is joining sky as a pundit and his first game is Sunday

Well at least he's accepted he can't manage I guess.

I’ll always cherish the picture of Scholes crying after we beat them in the Europa League, but the thought of seeing Roy Keane foaming at the mouth on Sunday makes me want to beat that lot more than anything.

Got ya covered mate.

You're such a show off Knex but a little step by step guide on how to do that kind of wizardry would go down a treat to some posters on here.

Just saying.

Mourinho to park the bus this Sunday, hes too afraid to lose to the better team

another several minutes scrolling right just to thank this.

Klopp has huge issues for Sunday - Gomez out, Trent carrying?, Lovren/Virg only fit centre halves. But the main thing is getting those players UP for a game of this stature within 5 days of the Napoli game. It's hard to play that sort of mentally draining game and to re-produce.

For anyone saying they'll be dissapointed if we don't take 3 points - i guarantee that United will be ready for this one. They literally have nothing to play for other than this game this side of xmas - to stop an unbeaten run - to peg us back towards City, bragging rights - we have it all to lose and they know that. Jose will play it like he did when he brought Chelsea to Anfield last and he'll not care one bit once they take points off us.

We need to be mentally strong if anything, it's important we do not panic when scoreless - which in fairness we have been this season - but this type of game makes players edgy. Its games like these you need leaders - Hendo/Virg need to grab this team by the scruff and get the best out of them. We are better than them in every department. Need to be patient and show why we are where we are.

I'm hoping for a workmanlike performance, few moments of brilliance from our front 3 and in particular Mane who owes us a goal after midweek. Lets be brave and show like City did how to deal with them.

Looking forward to it.

I was listening to the Totally Football Show podcast this morning and they made the point that Liverpool have scored more goals against Alisson in 2018 than the rest of the Premier League combined.
