Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has played down their favourites tag against Manchester United.

The two fierce rivals will go toe-to-toe at Old Trafford on Sunday.

"On Sky you made a combined line-up and had 11 players of Liverpool. It's like a joke, like building a banana skin," Klopp said in his Friday press conference.

"The world at the moment is like a circus, and we are at the centre. I'm not influenced by it. I am 100 per cent sure of the strength of Manchester United."

The German also casted doubt on the injuries of Paul Pogba and David de Gea who have been ear-marked to miss the encounter.

He added: "Yesterday, Pogba and De Gea there is 'no chance'. Today it is 'maybe', tomorrow it is 'a chance'!"
