Liverpool midfielder Fabinho has revealed that he is looking forward to the Reds’ clash against Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have slipped down to second in the league following Manchester City's win over Everton, but have the chance to bounce back up to top spot by beating the Red Devils.
With the margin for error extremely thin at the top of the table, Liverpool will feel they cannot afford to slip up.
The history of the rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United is legendary and Fabinho does not believe it gets any bigger in English football.
“I’m not really an expert on the history of this rivalry, but I believe it is the biggest rivalry in English football”, Fabinho told Liverpool’s official website.
“They’re the two most successful teams in England, so history shows that there’s a huge rivalry.
“I think the geographical closeness, with Manchester being just down the road, adds even more to it.
“We’re going to approach this game like all the other games and I hope it’s a night to remember, like the Everton game.
“I’m definitely looking forward to it. When you sign for Liverpool you have these types of games in mind.
“With the passion of the fans, their support, we go on the field to give our best to put on a show for them.”
It remains to be seen if Fabinho will be handed the chance to start against Manchester United.
