Liverpool full-back Andy Robertson has warned his side that form counts for nothing ahead of his side's clash against Manchester United this weekend.
The old rivals lock horns at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon with the two coming into the game in contrasting form.
Jurgen Klopp's side currently sit eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table having won all eight of their league games this season.
While United sit two points above the drop zone and without a win in their last three, but Robertson believes the form book stands for nothing in games likes this.
"I don’t think it matters what your form is like in these games," the Scotland international told l iverpoolfc.com.
"It doesn’t matter that we’ve won eight on the bounce and they’re struggling. It’s Man United v Liverpool. It will be a one-off game and we’ll see who comes out on top.
“I think what makes it so special is that it’s historic.
“There have been such great battles down the years. And they’ve always had top teams who have always fought against each other for everything on the pitch.
“It’s always like that. And it’s genuinely a different atmosphere when you play against them. It’s a historic stadium, nice, though I prefer Anfield… The atmosphere is good, too. There is always an edge to it.
“It’s a proper game and, sometimes, it gets played like a cup tie… I have no doubt that they’ll produce a reaction after a poor performance against Newcastle.
“I’m absolutely sure that they will be firing and wanting to kick-start their season. For them, there would be no better time to do it than against us.
“But we have our own objectives and our own aims. That’s what we’ve got to be striving for.”
