Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has said he is happy about Marcus Rashford's return to form and admits Liverpool will need to be perfect to stop him.
Liverpool will be looking to put up a statement performance and result when they welcome high-flying Manchester United to Anfield on Sunday in a hugely important fixture.
Liverpool no longer favourites against in-form Man United
Going into this game, Liverpool find themselves 10 points behind their arch-rivals who continued their fantastic season by lifting the Carabao Cup on Sunday.
United lost 5-0 and 4-0 to Liverpool last season but there has been a power shift since then and the Red Devils do not go to Anfield as underdogs any longer.
Klopp praises Rashford
A key reason why United supporters are so confident, is the form of Marcus Rashford. The England international is in the form of his life and he has the numbers to show with 25 goals in all competitions.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp spoke glowingly about Rashford and how Liverpool plan to stop him.
“It’s pretty much impossible to be happy about something positive at Man United where you are the Liverpool manager,” he said.
“It’s not that I watch them and hope they win, but I am really happy for Rashford. He had a really difficult year, not performing at the level he is able to perform. I knew this would change again.
"Now he is playing incredible, his speed, technique, how calm he is in front of goal, he scores worldies, he scores the simple ones. He’s in the form of his life."
Liverpool are coming into this game on the back of a well-deserved 2-0 victory over Wolves in midweek.
Mohamed Salah scored his 20th goal of the season in the win and will be confident of continuing his excellent scoring record against United which currently stands at 9 goals in his last six appearances.
