Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has demanded that his team be awarded the win if Manchester United fans force the game to be postponed due to a planned protest ahead of the game.
United have lost both of their Premier League games this season, leaving them bottom of the table, and have been beaten in their last four fixtures, with a United player failing to score in any of them.
Several United supporters plan to protest against the Glazer family 's ownership again before the visit of Liverpool on Monday night and it emerged in midweek that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is interested in buying the club.

The May 2021 behind-closed-doors game between both sides - due to the Covid-19 restrictions - saw United fans able to force their way into Old Trafford in protest.
And with fans reportedly planning the same again during Monday's game, Klopp has stated that he hopes his team be awarded the walkover win if the game was to be postponed.
Klopp said: "I really hope it doesn't happen - but if it happens then we should get the points. We have nothing to do with the situation.
"If the supporters want the game not to happen, then we can't just rearrange the game and fit it in somewhere in an incredibly busy schedule. I don't think it will happen and I have no idea what could happen. I don't think about it. If they tell us we are fine then we go there, play and then go home.
"But I really think that in a situation like this, then the other team should always get the points. They (the visiting team) have prepared and have nothing to do with this."
