Liverpool are two points off the Champions League spots and a win would see them leapfrog United into fourth place. 

And Sturridge is confident that the home side can take the spoils despite the 3-0 turnover in the Old Trafford fixture earlier in the season. 

"Of course, it's a rivalry, but it's another three points and we'll just approach the game as we always do – that's the most important thing," he said.
