Former Liverpool defender Jose Enrique insists facing Manchester United is always the biggest game of the season.

Liverpool sit top of the Premier League and United in 12th.

But Enrique told Sky Sports: “It is and it still is even if United is not doing as well now.

“For the players, for the fans, it is still the biggest game. Even Liverpool's rivalry with City, even with the way they are doing... The rivalry between United and Liverpool is different.

“The preparation is the same. The only thing when you play this game is in your mind you are more nervous than other games - that is obvious.

“It's another game, it's three points more, but for the fans and the players it means more. So if you win it, you have a good night after the game!"
