"Yes, that was a bad match [last season]. It was bad because we lost the game and because I didn't really do myself justice on the day. I had only just arrived in Liverpool but I was so desperate to play and experience the famous Anfield atmosphere that I'd heard so much about," Morientes told the official site.
"Liverpool v Manchester United is very similar to Real Madrid v Barcelona or Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid back in Spain. And despite my performance and the poor result the one thing that didn't disappoint was the atmosphere. It was unbelievable.
"This is a fixture that means so much to our supporters and we the players know that. Looking ahead to Sunday we are very focused on what is a crucial game. If we win we will go second in the table but it'll be difficult because Manchester United are a very good team with some very good individual players in their squad. Given the circumstance, with two games in hand, a draw would not represent a bad result but we will be going out there to try to win and play attacking football in the process.
"The spirit within this team is very good. We are working hard, winning games, scoring goals and playing well. We have a lot of confidence and are looking to get three points from every game we play."
