The table, form, individual quality, defensive cohesion and a clear style of play all point to victory for the Premier League leaders at Anfield but Liverpool know better than to treat their north-west rivals lightly, or any team managed by José Mourinho for that matter. Manchester United are unbeaten in the last eight league meetings between the clubs and are the only Premier League team that Jürgen Klopp has faced and not defeated. Injuries to several right-sided defenders will concern the Liverpool manager, although his side have not lost at home in the league for 20 months. Andy Hunter
