Jurgen Klopp has warned Liverpool to ignore Manchester United's troubled season and regard victory over their bitter North West rivals as "the most important three points in your life".
The Reds will aim to go two points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table when United make the short journey down the East Lancs Road on Tuesday evening for another blockbusting Premier League clash.
United have won only four of their last 13 games in all competitions and will finish without silverware for the fifth successive campaign - their worst such run in almost 40 years.
