Manchester United legend Bryan Robson believes their attack can take advantage of Liverpool's defence today.

While United enter the weekend level with leaders Manchester City, Liverpool sit seventh thanks to their inability to consistently translate performances into points and their porous backline.

"We hope that all the United lads can sort of take advantage of Liverpool not defending so well this season so far," he said.

"It's cost them points and hopefully it'll cost them points tomorrow.

"You know, as a football player, you defend as a team and you attack as a team, so I think it's a collective responsibility for the Liverpool lads.

"It's not just sort of the defence conceding too many goals, as a team they are conceding a lot of goals and hopefully they concede a lot tomorrow."
