Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has described his side's forthcoming Premier League clash with Manchester United as the "biggest game" of the season so far.

The Reds can leapfrog their bitter rivals into second in the table with a win at Old Trafford, and the German coach has warned his players that they will need to be at their best to get a result there.

"It's the biggest game I can imagine," Klopp told Sky Sports News.

"Really looking forward to it. We need to be 100% to get something there.

"It's a good moment to go there but they have outstanding quality.

"If we win we have one point more but that's not big for the rest of the season. The only thing we can positively influence is winning the next match and that's United. I don't need to talk about the table."

Liverpool head into the match in third place in the table, two points behind United.
