Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has sent a message to Manchester United fans ahead of their much-anticipated showdown with Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp 's reigning champions take on United in a top-of-the-table Premier League clash at Anfield on Sunday (January 17).
Liverpool are currently in pole position, though Solskjaer's men only trail them on goal difference, with a game in hand.
United play that game in hand on Tuesday evening, when they face Burnley at Turf Moor.
A win or a draw would see them replace the Reds at the summit going into this weekend's meeting between to two old rivals.
United finished third in the table last season thanks to a late rally - but were a whopping 33 points behind Liverpool.
It is much closer this time around as the Red Devils look to claim a first league title since 2013.
"I think it’s great that our fans are excited and that they’re happy with where we are at and that we have this little sense of excitement," said Solskjaer.
"But then we’re not even halfway through the season so, of course, every game against Burnley, every game against Liverpool matters a lot anyway.

"For me, all my eyes are on Tuesday and then let’s see where we’re at after that one.
"We’re not even halfway through the season yet and every game in the Premier League is a challenge, is a test, every game is a different test.
"Watford, they gave us a test (in the FA Cup), Burnley is one test, Liverpool is another, then you go to Fulham, which is a different test again.
"No one will remember how the league table looked like on January 12 in 2021.
"We have good momentum, we started well again after the disappointment against City, so we bounced back really well with a win and, of course, we want to build momentum again.
"If we can get a win on Tuesday then, when you win two games on the bounce again, you can go into the next game confident.
"Every game in the Premier League is a chance to build more confidence."
