That is the view of former Reds striker David Fairclough, who is hoping for a repeat of last season's European success when United come to town next week.
Jürgen Klopp's team head into their latest meeting with the Red Devils off the back of a four-game winning streak in the Premier League that has left them just two points off top spot.
But Fairclough expects the in-form hosts to find an 'awkward' test awaiting them.
For that reason, the he believes a fervent home support will be important in helping the Reds get over the line - just as they were during a 2-0 Europa League last-16, first-leg victory last term.
