'Eat or get eaten' - Man United man told he 'can't run' out to make amends against Liverpool after brutal analysis
The stakes are high when Manchester United welcome Liverpool to Old Trafford on Sunday for a huge FA Cup clash.
Jurgen Klopp's men are still chasing an unprecedented quadruple. They already have the Carabao Cup in the bag after beating Chelsea at Wembley last month, and with the Premier League title race hotting up and a comfortable passage through to the Europa League quarter-final against Sparta Prague on Thursday night, Klopp's side are in good form.

Amrabat has struggled to impress during his season-long loan spell, and endured a tough time when he made a rare start
