Liverpool Seek Response Against Man United

Liverpool return to Anfield this weekend with something to prove. Consecutive defeats to Crystal Palace, Galatasaray and Chelsea have temporarily halted their momentum, yet the visit of Man United offers the perfect setting to restore belief. Arne Slot will expect a reaction from his players and Milos Kerkez has made it clear that spirits remain high inside the camp, speaking to liverpoolfc.com.

Kerkez Relishing Intense Rivalry

The Hungarian left back has enjoyed a promising start to life at Liverpool and is already familiar with the demands of major fixtures. He has featured in and won a Merseyside derby, now he prepares for another fierce rivalry against Man United.

“I am really looking forward to it, obviously it’s a big game, it means everything for the club, obviously, to win.

“So, we’re preparing, everyone is really with a lot of positive energy back. A lot of the lads had good performances and good wins with their national teams so we’re really looking forward to it.

“I always feel different when I’m playing in Anfield, to be honest, I get a lot of energy and I’m not really feeling too tired with the adrenaline, so I’m looking forward to it.

“I know the fans will get behind us as always and they really, really give us a lot of boost, a lot of energy. So, it’s going to be a big one and obviously we want to give back to the fans, to the club, the victory.”

Home Advantage Key For Liverpool

All three defeats came away from home, which only heightens the expectation for a strong response at Anfield. Liverpool have built their recent success on relentless intensity in front of their own crowd and the afternoon kick off against Man United guarantees a raucous atmosphere.

Kerkez understands the scale of the occasion and insists the squad are ready.

“Obviously that [the run of defeats] was tough. I think the international break came and like I said, [we had] important victories, good performances. Everyone is in shape, so yeah, I saw everyone back with full energy and full focus and we are really ready to turn things around,” the Hungary international added.

“A couple of weeks ago I was looking forward to the Everton game and obviously now this one means a lot to win, and means a lot to us to get back on the three points way. So, we need to prepare good for the game.

“Everyone came back fit and it’s going to be really important, we’re going to need everyone: the fans, the players who are starting, [the players] who are not starting, and we go for three points.”

Pressure Meets Opportunity

This fixture rarely requires additional hype, yet given Liverpool sit one point behind Arsenal in the Premier League table, the stakes are even higher. Man United will arrive determined to spoil the occasion, however Slot’s side know a convincing performance would settle nerves and restore momentum ahead of a crucial stretch in the season.

Milos Kerkez has set the tone. Now Anfield expects Liverpool to follow through.
