'Man Utd will want to stop Liverpool winning the league' - Rush anticipating exciting showdown

Liverpool legend Ian Rush believes that the Reds' trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United will be a huge match for both teams and both sets of supporters with the hosts intent on derailing their rivals' title challenge.

The club's all-time leading goalscorer was part of the last Liverpool team to win the title in 1990, but remembers facing a dominant United side in the early 1990s following the formation of the Premier League. Since Liverpool's last title win, the Red Devils have won 13 Premier League titles but Rush believes this season has seen a shift in the way games between the clubs are seen by supporters.
