Liverpool could be winners from Mourinho-Conte clash in EPL

london: Manchester United and Chelsea cross swords this weekend with all eyes on the dugouts after a war of words between Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte and Liverpool could take advantage.
With one or both of the sides bound to drop points at Old Trafford, Jurgen Klopp's team are in prime position to pounce, hosting West Ham after a 10-day break following the 5-0 demolition of Porto in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
AFP Sports takes a look at some of the highlights of the weekend's action in the Premier League, with Manchester City and Arsenal meeting in the League Cup final.
'Contempt'
Conte and Mourinho have traded poisonous barbs this season, culminating in the pair saying they felt "contempt" for each other.
The feud started when the United boss said he did not need to "act like a clown" on the touchline, a comment perceived to be aimed at the animated Conte, who responded by claiming Mourinho must have "demenza senile" -- senile dementia.
When Mourinho then appeared to allude to a suspension Conte served in relation to match-fixing, the Italian, who was later cleared of any wrongdoing on that issue, responded by accusing his rival of being "fake" and "a little man".
