Liverpool face their most important match of the season on Sunday afternoon, as Jurgen Klopp‘s men visit fierce rivals Man United.
It doesn’t get much bigger than this.
English football’s greatest fixture is a special occasion at the best of times but this meeting has extra substance to it.
The Reds visit their bitter adversaries knowing a win will take them three points clear of Man City and act as an enormous mental boost moving forward.
Even a draw is not to be sniffed at, considering their wretched run at Old Trafford, dropped points though it may be.
Liverpool would still jump above City with a point, leaving destiny in their own hands.
We have reached the crunch point of the season, with every match feeling significant, and we are about to learn a lot about the belief that exists in this Liverpool squad.
Waiting for them this weekend are a United side reinvigorated under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and looking to damage their rivals’ title hopes.
The thought of Liverpool clinching glory is one that will be giving United fans sleepless nights and the players will be chomping at the bit come kickoff.
Klopp must have his team prepared for a cauldron of an atmosphere and a game likely to be as intense as any they have faced in 2018/19.
Win, and it will be one of the Reds’ most significant away results in years. They’re more than capable of it.
