Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez insists his tactics have not changed, only the belief amongst the players that have led to a more attack minded approach. They have already had two 4-0 victories - against Stoke and Burnley - and have beaten Bolton and West Ham 3-2.
"It is similar to last season - we are creating more or less the same situations but now we are scoring more goals because the accuracy is better," said Benitez, who believes his players are better for their title run-in with United.
"It is true we score a lot of goals. It's funny because people were talking before about us needing to score more goals because we were good in defence.
"Now they are saying we are scoring goals but conceding goals - so we can never win.
"Maybe it is because we are more offensive - but it is not because we are changing the system."
