Liverpool are to treat their second-leg tie against Manchester United in the same manner as any other European away game by training at the ground prior to the match.

Liverpool have taken the decision to train at Old Trafford ahead of their Europa League second-leg tie with Manchester United on Thursday evening.

The choice made by Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is in contrast to United, who opted to stay in Manchester ahead of last week's opening round-of-16 clash at Anfield.

UEFA rules state that visiting teams must stay within a 27-mile radius of the match venue, but the Red Devils were given special dispensation from the governing body to train at Carrington six days ago.

Klopp's side will instead train at the Theatre of Dreams on Wednesday, 24 hours ahead of the crunch showdown to decide which of these English heavyweights will progress into the quarter-finals.

As part of the rules, the ex-Borussia Dortmund manager will also have to hold his pre-match press conference at Old Trafford.

Liverpool hold a 2-0 advantage over their rivals heading into the return leg on Thursday.
