Alvaro Arbeloa believes Liverpool Football Club must pick up three points on Saturday.

The Reds welcome fierce rivals Manchester United to Anfield, and the right-back is hoping his side can avenge the 1-0 defeat last season which was inflicted by Carlos Tevez.

"I know how much of an important game it is for us and our supporters,” Arbeloa told the official club website. “It is just as important for me as the supporters.

"I think this game is worth much more than three points. If we beat Manchester United at home we will have 10 points and much more confidence. But everyone will also be very, very happy.

“We need to show them how difficult it is to play at Anfield. Our fans will show that and we need to do it on the pitch. We need to try and change the history.”
