Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers believes the Anfield crowd will be a factor today against Manchester United.
As well as the freshness of his rested stars, Rodgers believes Liverpool could hold another key factor in deciding the outcome of Sunday's game.
"The fans really are our extra man - there is no question about that," said the manager. "Anfield is a really exciting place to play football, especially in the big games.
"The supporters are unheralded and it's absolutely fantastic. I've only experienced a few games at home, but the passion of the supporters really rolls down out of the stands onto the field.
"If they give us that backing and support they have since the very first day I walked in here, then it can be a really exciting game for us. The home form is going to be important. This is a big game and if they can really get behind the team as they have done, then that will give us a great chance of getting a result."
