Liverpool v Manchester United - Premier League Preview
The two giants clash on Sunday as Brendan Rodgers and Louis van Gaal look to keep pace in the battle for a Champions League spot.
A win for the Reds would see them leapfrog their fierce rivals in the Premier League table.
And speaking exclusively to Talksport, Lallana revealed that Liverpool's turnaround following a poor start to the season gives them the edge over the Red Devils.
He said: "Psychologically for us it is massive. If we win we go above United and we get one foot into the top four.

"There are still another eight games after and there is going to be twists and turns constantly I'm sure. Tottenham and Southampton are still in and around the fight as well so they are going to be wanting to pick up points to make it three teams out of six trying to get in the top four.
"It is exciting for the neutral and I'm sure it will go down to the wire. We were struggling at the beginning of the season, but in the last few months we have definitely turned a corner.
"We are just focused on being consistent, keeping clean sheets and winning football matches. We will be focusing on ourselves on Sunday, that's what we have been doing, and confidence is high. We are very confident we can get the victory."
