We Are Ready For Liverpool, Says United's Boss Solskjaer

Red Devils boss, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has insisted that his boys are ready for the challenge of facing Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

Manchester United goes into the encounter in high spirit after defeating Burnley 0-1 away from home, thanks to a second-half volley by Paul Pogba.

The in-form United side now sits top of the Premier League table with 3 points ahead of last season's champion Liverpool, and Solskjaer believes that his side is currently in good shape and form to face them.

"It's a brilliant position to be in," said the United manager.

"Of course we know we're going to the champions who have had an unbelievable three-and-a-half-seasons, we know it's going to be a difficult game for us, but we are ready for it.

"We couldn't have asked for a better time to play them because we are in good shape, good form and hungry. These boys want to get better and that's the test of their character and quality.

"Of course, we enjoy being [top of the league] at any time, be that the first game or the last game, which is a big, big difference. We're looking forward to it, it's a great test of where we're at.

"We're almost halfway through the season so it's a little bit of an indication of where you're at, but no one will remember the league table on January 12."

Liverpool will be looking at the possibility of maximizing a home advantage in other to close the gap, while United will be looking to extend their lead on the Premier League table with either a win or a draw.
