(The Guardian) Jürgen Klopp has been speaking ahead Liverpool’s match with Manchester United, and about their north-west rivals. -- It’s what I enjoy most [this type of game]. Around these games we pull ourselves out of the sometimes not-so-nice reality, that is when football is the most important for those 90 mins, I love that. The whole world will watch.
It’s impossible to be positive about something at Man Utd when you are Liverpool manager but I am happy for Rashford. He is playing incredible. Speed, calm, a mix of everything.
They have had a better season so far but thank God it means absolutely nothing on Sunday. We have to make sure we show it is still incredibly difficult to play against us. We have to make sure they realise that. I couldn’t be less interested in what Man Utd are doing, I just respect it. I see them when we analyse them and we will try to cause more problems than [the August game].
Liverpool have not had a single Premier League penalty this season, and for 32 matches, and their fans are beginning to ask why, with things going a bit tinfoil. Jürgen Klopp certainly doesn’t know. -- We still had second most possession, second most shots on goal. Stats wise, we are there. We are often in opposition box. I have no clue how that can happen but it happened.

(The Guardian) PreambleHere we go, here we go, here we go….this is it. Let’s be honest here, this fixture between the trademarked two biggest clubs in England, and certainly the most successful, can often be an absolute dog. Form doesn’t so much go out the window as forget itself as the tranqs kick in. At least there is plenty at stake here, with Liverpool’s eyes focused on the top four, and thankful to Wolves for yesterday’s win over Tottenham. United’s chance of a title is slim, especially if the top two keep winning but keeping Liverpool down in the Europa League/Conference League would meet the approval of fans, and also affect the summer transfer plans of a club who would really like someone like Declan Rice or Jude Bellingham to add quality to their midfield. It was only a few weeks ago that Cody Gakpo chose Anfield over Old Trafford, a decision that has not looked the best choice so far. Still, should Liverpool win this, then they can begin to look upwards and to a future brighter than what has been such a poor season for them. For United, a quadruple is on, though their eternal rivals are this season showing the problems of fighting on so many fronts.

(The Guardian) Important announcement before this game. This nonsense has to stop. It’s time everyone grew up. -- Ten Hag said: “The rivalry between Manchester United and Liverpool is one of the greatest in world football. We all love the passion of the fans when our teams meet, but there are lines that should not be crossed.
“It is unacceptable to use the loss of life – in relation to any tragedy – to score points, and it is time for it to stop. Those responsible tarnish not only the reputation of our clubs but also, importantly, the reputation of themselves, the fans, and our great cities. On behalf of myself, our players, and our staff, we ask our fans to focus on supporting the team on Sunday, and representing our club in the right way.”
Klopp added: “One of the main reasons why the rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United is so special is that it is so intense and no one should ever want to change this. But at the same time when the rivalry becomes too intense it can go to places that are not good for anyone and we do not need this.

(The Guardian) For Manchester United, that’s the same team that started and won last week’s Carabao Cup final, and for Liverpool there’s three changes from the midweek defeat of Wolves. Jordan Henderson, Cody Gakpo and Andrew Robertson are those to come in. No Stefan Bajcetic in midfield, with Harvey Elliott’s energy instead trusted over the young Spaniard’s poise. Such has been Bajectic’s impact that’s a surprise selection. Bobby Firmino, for the off this summer, is on the bench.
Jonathan Liew examined a rivalry of two clubs more alike than their fans might like to admit. Though perhaps they all realise that by now. -- The investment in Ten Hag’s side has been not simply in terms of money but time and patience. The backroom structure has slowly been filled out after years of neglect. There is now an established playing style, something United have arguably not enjoyed since Louis van Gaal. Naturally, there are no long-term guarantees. But United are at least trying to construct a coherent identity, to build a functioning organisation, to be – in other words – a little more like Liverpool.

(The Guardian) Will Unwin on Casemiro, a player who must be seen as the signing of the season, unless you prefer the shock and awe of Erling Haaland. -- “When you go to recruitment in the summer, we were looking for players with character, with personality,” Ten Hag says. “It was not only about signing players. A lot of players in the world have great skills from a technical approach, or they can run really fast, but we were looking for players who have character, who have personality, who have leadership, take responsibility, who are resilient. That is the type of players I was looking for after I analysed the squad.”
Ian Copestake has been in touch: “The nature of much that has been written about this game seems to have turned it into a symbol rather than a physical event. Them overtaking us, the old ways dying, can a new spring occur? Klopp even calls it a derby, which it isn’t. But it is ‘like’ a derby and so may as well be called one.”

(The Guardian) The teams are out, and the Premier League anthem is rattling around the Anfield rafters. Here comes You’ll Never Walk Alone. Warm embrace and big smiles between Ten Hag and Klopp. Like long lost brothers. Ten Hag takes to the dugout and the smile has gone, and it’s the same for Jürg.

(The Guardian) 1 min: And away we go at Anfield. Formation news, with Rashford playing centrally and Wout Weghorst at number 10. Bruno Fernandes is sat on Trent Alexander-Arnold.

(The Guardian) 2 min: Liverpool free-kick, awarded after Fred takes down Elliot, and it’s cleared with ease, not beating the first man.
3 min: Alisson gets the ball launched, and there’s a head tennis session. Liverpool with the early impetus and a roar as Salah’s shot is blocked. There’s jeers as Alexander-Arnold makes a mess of the second ball.
