Dalglish: Getting past City the boost we needed

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish hopes the boost of overcoming Manchester City in the Carling Cup midweek will give them confidence to overcome United at Anfield today.

The crackling atmosphere under the Anfield floodlights on Wednesday evoked memories of former glories and the Scot would be delighted to reproduce that today.

“We are looking forward to a fantastic match; we had unbelievable support from our people on Wednesday night and I am sure we will get the same again,” he said.
