Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp wants his side to be "angry" when they host rivals Manchester United on Sunday.
The Reds can retake the Premier League lead with victory, but Klopp is aware United will be looking for a response to their midweek Champions League loss.
There are 16 points between the clubs, with United closer to the relegation zone than leaders Manchester City.
"From the other side it looks like it is not the best mood - United lost their last game," said the German.
"We have our own problems and our own targets and we go for them.
"We fight for our points. We have to be angry on Sunday and we will be."
Liverpool have not lost to United at Anfield since 2013, although they have not beaten them in the past eight league meetings.
Klopp, whose side are the only unbeaten club in Europe's top five divisions - England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain - added: "It's one of the games which you sign with your contract - try to do everything you have to win it.
"It's a big one, and if [former United boss] Sir Alex Ferguson says it's the British 'Clasico' then I am really blessed because I was involved in the German Clasico [Borussia Dortmund v Bayern Munich].
"It's a cool game."
