Jamie Carragher believes that Liverpool’s showdown with Manchester United next Monday will be ‘extra special’.
The Old Trafford club will travel to Merseyside in seven days’ time for the first Premier League meeting beneath the Anfield floodlights since May 1999.
However the most recent midweek clash between the sides came in March, when the Reds won through to the quarter finals of the Europa League.
And Carragher expects the encounter with the Red Devils to be another highly anticipated affair.
“It is a big game, with a lot of new players in that side now. But it feels like in the Premier League every game is a big game now,” he told Sky Sports.
“This is extra special, under the lights at Anfield, and there’s been some great games there, you think of the 3-3 game all that time ago (in 1994).
“It will be a great atmosphere, and I think Liverpool will go in confident with the way they’re playing.
“But it’s always difficult on the back of international games – who you bring back, what time they come back, did anyone pick up any injuries, so that will have bearing too.”
