“It’s for Liverpool the city, the fans and for us,” he was quoted as saying in the Daily Star.

“It will be a very, very tough game because Manchester United have done very well this season so far. But we know we are strong too and we are really looking forward to the game.

“We have to be hard in the tackles, we have to try to dominate the game and score the goals when we create chances. We will see what happens.

“It’s always special to play at Anfield and now against Manchester United after a few weeks of not playing at Anfield. We are really excited and looking forward to the game and to play at Anfield again.”

The Reds have struggled for goals recently despite taking 120 shots in their last seven games.

To make matters worse Sadio Mane has been ruled out for six weeks with a hamstring injury.

The Reds head into the clash undefeated in 28 of their last 30 home matches.

United meanwhile have won seven of their last eight Premier League games.

The Red Devils are in great form but this is their first real test of the season.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has actually only lost one of seven matches against Mourinho sides.

Jose Mourinho side meanwhile have not scored on their last two trips to Anfield.
