There is no love lost between Manchester United and Liverpool as the two old rivals battle it out at the top of the Premier League table.
The sides go head-to-head at Anfield on Sunday in a top-of-the-table Premier League showdown.
But it has not been all trash talking ahead of the game - as Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara spoke of his fondness for United goalkeeper David De Gea.
The pair are international team-mates with Spain, and Thiago picked De Gea to be part of his dream five-a-side team.
Answering questions from Liverpool fans, the former Bayern Munich star was asked which four players would join him in this elite fantasy line-up.
Thiago went for De Gea in goal, his brother Rafinha, who plays for PSG, former Barcelona team-mate Jonathan dos Santos, and Leeds United forward Rodrigo - another Spain colleague.
"I always say that more than the best players, I will always choose the best chemistry and the best friends I have in football," said Thiago in a video posted on Liverpool's official Twitter page. "Like my brother Rafinha, Rodrigo Moreno who plays in Leeds, Jonathan dos Santos, who is with LA Galaxy in the USA.
"David de Gea, goalkeeper for Man U and myself. That's the five-a-side I would choose."
With a keeper, three midfielders and a winger-cum-striker, Thiago noticed one issue: "The only problem is that someone has to defend - but it's OK!"
United will be hoping Liverpool have a similar attitude towards defending this weekend!
