Liverpool fullback Andrew Robertson is eager to break his duck at Manchester United on Sunday.

His affection for the grudge match has survived the fact that he's yet to win at Old Trafford, suffering a 2-1 defeat on his first visit to 'enemy territory' and earning a 0-0 draw there last year.

"I think what makes the fixture so special is that it's historic," said Robertson. "There have been such great battles down the years.

"And they've always had top teams who have fought against each other for everything on the pitch.

"It's always like that. And it's genuinely a different atmosphere when you play against them. It's one game that we always look forward to.

"Since I've been a Liverpool player, we've not managed to get a result at Old Trafford. So hopefully that changes on Sunday.

"Old Trafford is good to play in, a historic stadium, it's nice - but I prefer Anfield!

"The atmosphere is good, too. There is always an edge to it. It's a proper game and, sometimes, it gets played like a cup tie.

"These games are good. But they're only good if you come out on top. Hopefully we're the ones celebrating on Sunday night."
