Even the Merseyside derby has been considered one of the best rivalries of all-time. But when Manchester United come to Anfield on Sunday, the entire world will be watching. Two sides with a deeply connected past will challenge one another for crucial points as the season comes to a close. With a precious Champions League spot at stake, few things could be more enticing than this fixture.
