Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says his side are excited about the opportunity of playing Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.

"We have to go there and line up and be ready for all the challenges in the game," Klopp said.

"That is important. We try everything we need to make the difference. 

"Of course, we are excited about the opportunity to go there and play our best.

"Both teams are on a good run long term, and United have less injury problems. You can feel good before the game. 

"We realise before the game that we are Liverpool and we need to show this. Everyone who wants to see a real fight for game, then yes, watch it. It will be 100% from our side."

More from Sunderland manager David Moyes who confirmed the club have received a bid from Crystal Palace for full-back Patrick van Aanholt.

It comes after Sunderland also rejected a bid from West Ham for striker Jermain Defoe, earlier in the window.

"We've had bids for quite a lot of our players," Moyes said.

"Maybe people think we're easy pickings but we're not. 

"I want to build and keep all of our good players.

"Sometimes you do need to sell to rebuild but at this period we want to keep our players and add if we can do."

Sunderland manager David Moyes has confirmed striker Victor Anichebe is out of Saturday's match against Stoke.

Anichebe is out with a hamstring injury but Moyes said full-back Billy Jones could return.

The Scot also said goalkeeper Jordan Pickford could return earlier than expected from a knee injury. 

The 22-year-old was expected to be out for at least six weeks following an injury picked up on Boxing Day but Moyes says he could return in three or four weeks.

What a gesture this is.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan who has won December's Premier League goal of the month with his scorpion kick, has shared his award with Sunderland fan Bradley Lowery.

The five-year-old, who is seriously ill with neuroblastoma, was named joint-winner of Match of the Day's Goal of the Month award after his penalty against Chelsea in December.

John Stones will return to Everton for the first time on Sunday, since he joined Manchester City for £47.5m in the summer.

"John Stones is strong enough if he gets booed by Everton fans at Goodison, " said Guardiola. "I hope he gets respect from the Everton fans.

"I think all former players come back they want to show how good they are. They don’t have regrets, complaints, completely opposite."

Guardiola was also asked yet again if he wanted to sign Barcelona's Lionel Messi. 

"I'm not going to answer that again," he replied.

Ronald Koeman wasn't afraid to declare some of this current squad aren't in his plans, just as Morgan Schneiderlin's won't be the only addition this January window.

It appears Koeman is far from happy with the squad he inherited from Roberto Martinez, but it's a brazen step to publicly say some players don't have a future.

Everton fans will be encouraged to hear him talk of more balance required in the squad. And perhaps last week's hugely disappointing FA Cup defeat has only stiffened Koeman's resolve to mould together an Everton side who can truly compete for the top six or better.

And United boss Jose Mourinho told his pre-match press conference the bid for Depay was "far from being reasonable for us."

"He is our player. If nothing happen he is one more for us," Mourinho added.

Lyon manager Bruno Genesio has confirmed Manchester United winger Memphis Depay is his "number one priority" in the January transfer window.

United have rejected a bid for the player from the French club who they signed for £31m from PSV Eindhoven in 2015.

"This is my number one priority, I'm a fan of this player, he has an interesting profile for us," Genesio said.

Depay had played just eight times for United this season while Everton are also thought to be keen on the Dutchman.

There are some moments as a journalist when you just cringe.

Midway through today's Jose Mourinho briefing at Carrington, one of the phones among the collection of devices in front of the Manchester United manager recording the press conference rang.

This is not uncommon.

What is less usual is for the manager to pick it up and answer.

But, without saying who it was, that is exactly what Mourinho did - before transferring the phone to the rather embarrassed reporter it belonged to.

One player who won't be playing this weekend is Gabriel Jesus.

The Brazilian arrived at the Etihad this month from Palmeiras, five months after City signed him for £27m in August.

But Pep Guardiola says the 19-year-old can't stay because he has not been registered in time to make his City debut.

In other team news, Fernando will be back in training tomorrow, while Kevin De Bruyne’s been sick, but has recovered.

Mourinho talks about the atmosphere at Old Trafford again after being critical of the lack of noise during the EFL Cup semi-final victory over Hull on Tuesday.

"Now is just a question of having a little bit extra in a match which for them means a little bit more," he says.

"It’s for them that the match means something more. They have to make us feel that feeling we felt that at Anfield – we felt clearly for the Liverpool fans it was more than a match.

"Now we play at home we have a huge percentage of our fans compared with Liverpool fans."

Sunderland manager David Moyes has confirmed the club have rejected a bid from Crystal Palace for left-back Patrick van Aanholt.

On the progress Manchester United have made recently in winning nine in a row, Mourinho adds: "Results are better. I have changed a lot of things. I had less time before. Now I have a little bit more."

Asked if he is expecting a better game than the 0-0 borefest at Anfield in October, he says: "Some people say 0-0 not good game because no goals. Doesn't mean I always agree with that. I thought it was a good game."

Hmmmm... we think Jose might be in a minority of one with that assessment...
