I think the most pressure is on Mourinho. The way Liverpool are playing it will not be easy for teams to get into the top four with City, Arsenal and Spurs as well. 

But being here, Liverpool v Manchester United, it is still the biggest game in the calendar. 

Robbie Fowler takes his seat before Jose Mourinho emerges from the tunnel. He looks miserable as sin. Has he lost his passion for the game? Let's see. A full touchline sprint if his side get a late winner maybe.

Manchester United are in blue tonight. Here come the sides.

I watched Marouane Fellaini in the Europa League and I don't think he is a central midfielder in a two. 

He has got another chance tonight and might prove me wrong but we are talking about Manchester United here.

He is a very good player but is he Manchester United quality?

Liverpool leave the pitch after their warm-up and are sent on their way by a deafening roar from The Kop.

The mood in and around Anfield is full of optimism after their fine start to the season - and we will discover so much more about Liverpool and Manchester United tonight.

Liverpool can confirm the growing belief that Jurgen Klopp is the manager to revive their best days while Jose Mourinho can make the biggest statement of this brief Manchester United reign with victory here tonight.

• Liverpool have lost each of their last four Premier League clashes with Manchester United, their worst league losing streak against the Red Devils since March 2008 (five defeats).
• Liverpool have lost their last two league meetings with Manchester United at Anfield; they last lost three home league games against United in January 2005.
• This clash has seen 16 red cards shown in the Premier League, only Everton v Liverpool (21) has produced more dismissals.

They met four times last season, but never really in the blood and thunder tradition of Liverpool v Manchester United.

There wasn't even anyone sent off! A rare thing in the recent history of a game many consider a bigger derby than any same city rivalry.

Jose Mourinho v Liverpool has history, external too - and if he thinks the Anfield fans weren't keen on him as Chelsea boss…

Jurgen Klopp's men are flying, whilst Mourinho's feel they're owed a 'fat result' after dominating Stoke but drawing last time out.

It could be a magic Monday.

As for any red cards - in truth I hope ref Anthony Taylor has an efficiently quiet night after criticism of his appointment to the game.

How many twitter accounts can you find for the Anfield Cat?

Philip in Norwich: Ridiculous team selection by Jose Mourinho. A selection desirous of a stratospheric severance package when he is 'sacked in the morning'.

Patsy from Coventry: Big height advantage for United and Young is best crosser in the squad. Mourinho no mug.

Desalegn Hailemariam: Hope this won't be the game Paul Pogba finally announces his arrival to the PL. Otherwise it's Liverpool's game to lose.

Pre-match Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho said it would be "difficult" for Manchester-based referee Anthony Taylor to perform well after the decision to give him the game was criticised., external

Robbie Savage has had his say on the referee controversy...

I think all referees are all professionals. 

I know how difficult it is for them. It will have no effect on his decisions on the pitch.

I have sympathy with Anthony Taylor tonight. 

The Daniel Sturridge Premier League goal drought currently sits at 556 minutes.

Liverpool fans may be keen to know then that he has scored in three of his four Premier League appearances for Liverpool against Man United, also providing an assist in the other game. 

A cat on the pitch! Is that an omen? Was it black? Is that good luck or bad luck?

I'd prefer a dog. But that's me.

Jose Mourinho is still a wonderful manager, I wouldn't be surprised if United win it 1-0 or Liverpool win 3-0.

It is that type of game.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "Excitement, I am happy to be here. It is like it should be, You count the minutes until it starts.

"We are on the way to being experienced, this is the next challenge for us. All the talk has been that we are fantastic and they are not. But we don't believe this.

"It's about what you do with the ball. Both sides are good on the counter attack."

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho: "When they have the ball we want to defend with 11 players, when we have the ball we want to score.

"Ashley Young is one of the many players who can play on the sides. He has never had a chance to start, only against Northampton. He is an experienced player in a big game. There is no risk, every time he plays he does his job well."
