Gary Neville thinks Liverpool will start as favourites against Manchester United when the two sides meet on Sunday
The match at Anfield could have a defining impact on the top four race as the season enters its home stretch.
United currently sit fourth, two points ahead of Liverpool but a win for the Reds would move them back into the Champions League qualification spots for the first time since the opening weekend of the season.
Liverpool lost the reverse fixture 3-0 at Old Trafford in mid-December but have not lost in the league since.
And Neville believes their unbeaten run and home advantage gives Brendan Rodgers' side the slight edge.
"You'd have to make Liverpool the favourites," Neville told Sky Sports.
"I know United played well last week but at Anfield and with their fantastic run of form, you'd have to make them favourites.
"United will have to go there on Sunday and withstand immense pressure, particularly early on in the game.
"Liverpool have got fantastic energy in that front six and I think are better at United than that.
"But United have got matchwinners in their team and I think the game is set up well."
