Liverpool will unleash their in-form forwards against Manchester United's struggling defence with goals looking certain in Sunday's blockbuster Premier League clash at Old Trafford.
Jurgen Klopp's front three of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino have all been scoring freely for the unbeaten Reds, who are just one point behind leaders Chelsea.
Salah netted twice in the 3-2 win at Atletico Madrid on Tuesday - a result that means Liverpool have scored at least three goals in every away game this season across all competitions.
United also won by the same scoreline in midweek but had to come back from 2-0 down against Atalanta, with Cristiano Ronaldo heading a late winner.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's have failed to keep a clean sheet in 12 consecutive home games in all competitions, their longest such run since 1964.
Klopp watched Salah, Mane, and Firmino tune up in training for the match before maintaining that playing United at Old Trafford would be a tough proposition, despite their recent troubles.
"I think Man United is not overly happy with the results they've got so far, but we all know that they are able to do incredible stuff," he said. "We saw it already."

Ziina users can donate to relief efforts in Beirut
Ziina users will be able to use the app to help relief efforts in Beirut, which has been left reeling after an August blast caused an estimated $15 billion in damage and left thousands homeless. Ziina has partnered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to raise money for the Lebanese capital, co-founder Faisal Toukan says. “As of October 1, the UNHCR has the first certified badge on Ziina and is automatically part of user's top friends' list during this campaign. Users can now donate any amount to the Beirut relief with two clicks. The money raised will go towards rebuilding houses for the families that were impacted by the explosion.”

What is Reform?
Reform is a right-wing, populist party led by Nigel Farage, a former MEP who won a seat in the House of Commons last year at his eighth attempt and a prominent figure in the campaign for the UK to leave the European Union.
It was founded in 2018 and originally called the Brexit Party.
Many of its members previously belonged to UKIP or the mainstream Conservatives.
After Brexit took place, the party focused on the reformation of British democracy.
Former Tory deputy chairman Lee Anderson became its first MP after defecting in March 2024.
The party gained support from Elon Musk, and had hoped the tech billionaire would make a £100m donation. However, Mr Musk changed his mind and called for Mr Farage to step down as leader in a row involving the US tycoon's support for far-right figurehead Tommy Robinson who is in prison for contempt of court.
