Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers hopes for a change of luck today against Manchester United.

Rodgers is still waiting for his first Barclays Premier League win as Reds boss having collected just two points from the opening four games.

For the club and fans there could be no better time to put that right than when Manchester United visit Anfield on Sunday and Rodgers is convinced his team will soon come good.

Rodgers is relishing the occasion and said: "This is a game I have grown up with as the biggest game in British football - Liverpool v Manchester United.

"From my time growing up as a child, through my teenage years and right the way through - two massive clubs, iconic clubs worldwide.

"To be involved right in the middle of it is wonderful, and it should be a wonderful game.

"Our players have been outstanding since I came in here, absolutely first class.

"We haven't had the rub of the green in some of the games but every day our spirit is getting better and stronger, the more we get to work with each other. You could see that in the last two games."
