Yeah, to a certain extent.
When you're playing this game, you just don't think about that.
I've spoken, listen, Liverpool had to suffer for many years with Man Utd being ahead of them, but it was still the biggest fixture no matter what and it will be the biggest fixture forever, I think, in the Premier League because it's not just about the history of the clubs, it's geographically, it's everything about it.
So, I think that
If they are a bit tired, it won't take them long to realise when it's that first tackle that goes in and the United players or the fans respond to Liverpool being addressed into the arena, if you like.
I don't see that will really be an excuse afterwards if Liverpool were to lose or not get the three points.
Listen, I've played in games many times, I'm sure you have, Clinton, where you're the red-hot favourites and the other team rise to the occasion.
Going to Old Trafford will never be easy.
People are thinking, is Liverpool going to go there and win 2-3, 4-0?
I don't see it.
I can see Liverpool winning, but I think it's going to be an incredibly tight game.
I think for a certain extent, you're right.
There must have been so much embarrassment when you've lost at Newcastle and there's the worst thing in the world is you've got an international break there because you just want to get it out of your system, want to win your next game.
To a certain extent, could you ask for a better game, Liverpool at home?
If you've got something about you, yes, they're the ones that you want.
Because if you're looking at that tomorrow, you've got to get after him.
You've got the players back.
And this is where I think they spent Β£80 million on Harry Maguire.
Tomorrow, he's got to stand up and show that that's what they paid the money for.
I look at Virgil van Dijk on the other side, who's been amazing and he's changed the whole club around, I think, to a certain extent.
