The Reds meet their bitter rivals this weekend hoping to strengthen their claim for a second-place finish behind Manchester City
Liverpool progressed safely into the Champions League quarter-finals in midweek following a 5-0 aggregate win over Porto, but face a tougher assignment this weekend against Manchester United.
The Reds are third in the Premier League, and sit just two points behind Jose Mourinho's men, who beat Crystal Palace 3-2 on Monday.
With Tottenham and Chelsea also aiming to finish second and be crowned best of the rest behind Manchester City, this weekend's encounter takes on a vital importance.
