The Reds finally appear to be real contenders to win the top flight title, something they have failed to do since the introduction of the Premier League in 1992.And it hasn’t just been the league that has eluded Liverpool in recent years, with their most recent trophy being more than six years ago; Liverpool beat Cardiff to win the League Cup in February 2012.Since Jurgen Klopp was named the club’s manager in 2015 they have lost three successive finals – Europa League and League Cup in 2015/16, and the Champions League last season – and questions have been raised over whether Liverpool can be praised as one of Europe’s best teams if they continue to fail to win silverware.“I dont know, depends on the way you approach it,” Mourinho replied when asked whether trophies matter.Klopp has now lost six finals in a row, taking in his spells at Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool2

“I think trophies matter, it matters, especially when you have the potential to fight for trophies and especially when you clearly say the objective is to win the trophy.“I think sometimes to just say is not very intelligent, but when you have the potential, you have nothing to hide, you know from day one your potential and your desire has a relation with the potential because to say we want to win.“Everyone can say that but another is to say the potential in a way you have but I think Jurgen said already they want to win the Premier League, that is their objective.”Liverpool have risen to become one of the challengers for the Premier League by spending a lot of money. United have similarly splashed the cash but they currently sit sixth in the table, 16 points behind the Anfield club.Mourinho added on Liverpool’s spending: “Its not just about the money they spend in the summer, it’s about many things.“Its not just about spending money and reinforcing the squad, a football team is more than that, it’s not just about spending the money.“Its like a house, its not just about buying the furniture, you have to do work, you spend money on the best possible furniture and then youre ready to live in an amazing house.”

Klopp v Mourinho: Transfer spending compared

Before the start of the season, Mourinho suggested Liverpool should win the 2018/19 Premier League because of their spending in the transfer market. But how does Klopp's outlay compare to United's since Mourinho was named their manager in summer 2016?LIVERPOOLTotal spend: 411.55mNet spend: 121.9mHighest fee paid: 75m (for Virgil van Dijk)MANCHESTER UNITEDTotal spend: 392.55mNet spend: 307.25mHighest fee paid: 93.25m (for Paul Pogba)The Portuguese also provided an injury update in the build-up to Sunday’s clash, with United facing something of a selection crisis.Marcos Rojo, the Argentina international, joined the injured ranks during Wednesday’s Champions League loss to Valencia, and defence is the biggest worry for Mourinho with Chris Smalling, Diogo Dalot, Matteo Darmian, Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof also struggling.Mourinho said: “All of them didn’t train yesterday again. Today there will be a little introduction to see the answer and to see if we can increase a little bit tomorrow to have them available for Sunday. I hope some will be available but for sure some will not be.”
