Pool can rule,warns Rodgers

Brendan Rodgers has stressed Liverpool are feeling “very confident” heading into tomorrow’s Premier League home clash with champions Manchester United.

Last season — Rodgers’ first in charge of the Merseysiders — their encounters in the league with United saw them lose both at home in September and away in January, 2-1 on each occasion.

But Rodgers has emphasised his feeling that his team were unfortunate to be defeated in the first game and also pointed to the similarities in the top-flight records of the two clubs since they last met as reason for encouragement ahead of the Anfield encounter.
