    Jurgen Klopp has urged Liverpool to \u2018go for\u2019 Manchester United, as the Reds look to twist the knife on their bitter rivals.<\/p>\n

    England\u2019s two most successful clubs lock horns on Sunday at Anfield for the first time since Liverpool humiliated Erik ten Hag\u2019s side with a 7-0 thrashing last season. Now United travel over on the M62 after a disastrous start to this campaign has left them with seven Premier League defeats and still without a win against a top-nine side.<\/p>\n

    But Klopp is wary of United being motivated by the criticism they\u2019ve been hit with. He said: \u201cI do not like all this talk around it. It is always like this. The more bad things people say about them, the stronger they will show up.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThat is always the case. I don\u2019t like that. I don\u2019t know about the situation there. I am interested in our situation. It is a home game and we have to show up. We are in our own stadium, we have to create an atmosphere and go for them and not think about anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Klopp admits he can\u2019t ignore the noise around Ten Hag with the United boss under huge pressure heading to Anfield. He said: \u201cI will make sure from our point of view that we will be 100 percent focused on the right stuff.<\/p>\n

    \u201cBut we are human beings and there is a noise around and when I am aware of it that means that there is obviously something going on. It is all fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Liverpool head into the weekend top of the table so another victory against their rivals will keep them in pole position in the title race. It\u2019s a huge week for their chances with fellow challengers Arsenal to come next weekend after a Carabao Cup quarter-final against West Ham.<\/p>\n

    Klopp said: \u201cWe know what it means. No-one would expect us not to care. We care a lot. We cannot go nuts before the game already. We have to start the game properly. There is space to improve in our football.<\/p>\n

    \u201cOne of our best games was against Aston Villa and they are obviously flying through the league. They had a problem against us, at least. From now on they are all finals. That is how it is.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIn intense periods in December it is always about getting through. I don\u2019t know anyone who plays their five best games in December. Get through it and get results, head up and go from there.\u201d<\/p>\n

    LIVERPOOL'S EXPECTED XI VS UNITED (4-3-3):<\/b> Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Szoboszlai, Endo, Gravenberch; Salah, Nunez, Diaz. <\/p>\n
