Liverpool stars arrive at Melwood before Manchester United clash

It's usually one of the decisive matches of the season and the Sunday clashes between old rivals Liverpool and Manchester United will be no exception.

Liverpool aiming to end his 29-year wait for the league title, he knows he can not afford any breakaway against Old Trafford in one of the most anticipated games of the season.

Liverpool will return to Manchester City – who is also in the Carabao Cup final – with one point or more.

Their players arrived at the Melwood training ground on Saturday afternoon as they prepared for the short trip to Manchester.

Jurgen Klopp's team will be strengthened by the return of key defender Virgil van Dijk, suspended for his midweek draw in the Champions League against Bayern Munich.

This relieves a defensive crisis with Dejan Lovren and Joe Gomez currently on the sidelines.

There is also hope that Xherdan Shaqiri's abdominal tension has decreased to the point that he will at least make the bench at Old Trafford.

Rhian Brewster (ankle) and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (knee) both progress after long-lasting injuries, but none of them are ready to return this weekend.

Striker Sadio Mane posted an optimistic tone ahead of the North West derby despite United's rejuvenation under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

It was United's 3-1 defeat at Anfield last December that led to the dismissal of coach Jose Mourinho and his temporary replacement by the Norwegian.

United are undefeated in Solskjaer national competitions and are confident in the match after Monday's 2-0 win over Chelsea in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

"Everyone knows it's a derby and against United, it's always difficult, but we're confident and think we can do it," he told Liverpool's official website.

"We will go and try to do everything to win the game.

& # 39; C & # 39; is different [for United] now. They made changes, changed the manager and he's doing very well, winning almost every game.

& # 39; They are confident and so are we. It will be a difficult match and we will see what happens.

"It will be a tough match, but we can still win because we have already won a lot of tough games. It will not be easy, but we will do everything to achieve a positive result. & # 39;
