I am gutted Bruno Fernandes is banned for Liverpool game - Manchester United won't miss him at all

Up next for Liverpool is our final Europa League group stage game on Thursday evening.

With all respect to Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, however, this is not a game we should be worrying about when we've got Manchester United coming up on Sunday. I would play the kids in Belgium and keep the first-team fit and firing for the weekend.

They are struggling big time and the only thing saving them is that their away form is probably actually better than their home record. All we have to do is be good at what we usually do at Anfield and if we get the first goal, that will make a massive difference. It looks like three points on paper, but that’s not always how football works.

This is the one game I always want to win out of them all, although that’s not always been the case in the last few years because City are now the cream of Manchester. United are not a concern to us anymore - City are, as are Arsenal. Aston Villa are also doing well, but United are not a team we should be worrying about.

I don’t care about their current struggles, I just want to beat them. United can’t keep on blaming the Glazers every time they lose a game, it is becoming
