Benitez believes in Dalglish
Kenny Dalglish will take the Reds into their encounter with the champions determined to register a result which shows they are real contenders for major honours this season.
Victory in the midday clash would see his team close the gap between themselves and United to three points, which at this stage of the season would see the title battle opened up in a big way.
Liverpool have made their best start to a Premier League campaign in several seasons and Rafa Benitez, who never managed to snatch the major domestic honour while in charge at Anfield, has gone on the record in his support of Dalglish.
He admitted that has returned to the club and revealed that he has no problem at all with watching the team he loves and hated to leave.
He said: "I'm surprised when people say 'oh Rafa is talking about Liverpool again'.
"Surely I can talk about Liverpool after six years, especially when I brought back Kenny. I have a lot of respect for him and what he is doing now.
"There's no problem. Kenny's in charge and hopefully he will be for many years to come and win a lot of trophies.
"I don't have a problem, but I go to other games in the area. Stoke, Birmingham, Aston Villa, Manchester City, there are four or five other stadiums I can go to. Wigan as well."
