Liverpool will train on the Old Trafford pitch on Wednesday ahead of their Europa League second leg with Manchester United.
Jurgen Klopp is treating the clash the same as a normal European away match in contrast to United who applied for - and received - special dispensation from UEFA to train at their Carrington base and stay in Manchester ahead of the round-of-16 first leg.
Competition rules state visiting sides must stay within a 27-mile radius of the home team's venue. The distance between the two cities is around 34 miles.
But Liverpool manager Klopp will not follow suit, and instead will have his players train at the home of his side's great rivals on Wednesday.
Klopp will also give a news conference at the ground, as is the tradition for European games between teams from different countries.
Liverpool are in a commanding position for the second leg, having recorded a 2-0 win at Anfield through goals from Daniel Sturridge and Roberto Firmino.

If they get the train to Old Trafford they'll have a bloody long queue to get on the one back.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There won't be any United fans creating any queues at the station. They'd already have left 30 minutes earlier

Are you coming over for the game tomorrow? Perfect chance to tell a few of us face to face.

Aw bless, he's getting all tough on me

Why do I need to use that platform? Are you suggesting that every time someone makes a statement on here they then have to go to that clubs stadium and tell it to the match going fans? Maybe use the clubs tannoy system?
You're having a shocker, getting all wound up and upset over nothing. Relax and make yourself a herbal tea

You're right, I'm really really wound up.
Did you put in for a ticket though?

No, but what's that got to do with anything? It's actually physically impossible for me to have gone to either game. I watched the first leg in Nigeria and will be watching the second whilst waiting to catch a flight back out there.
Sorry to spoil your fishing expedition, you're going home empty handed

And you are wound up. So much so you've spent the last 24 hrs with your head up Everton fans backsides on Arouna's thread. How times change, it used to be the other way round

Does not arguing with people mean you have your head up their backsides?
Interesting.

You're making less sense than usual. Must be the meltdown you're having. Full marks for trying to hide it, but it's there I'm afraid

I think klopp is being wise enough here.
Get out there and see what the grass is like as we'll be the only side passing on it tomorrow.
