Liverpool midfielder Emre Can says the players know their clash with Manchester United is one for the city.

Can, who starred for Germany during the international break, reckons Liverpool can get over their recent poor form and get back on track in the Premier League.

He told the Liverpool website: "It's for Liverpool the city, the fans and for us.

"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."
