Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard hopes a victory over Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday will act as a springboard for a winning run of games.

Liverpool boss Rodgers said: "We want this day to be remembered for the right reasons before the game, and the footballing reasons. "A lot of work has been done and hopefully Sunday will pass off peacefully and well and we can talk about the tributes and football. "It is an emotionally-charged game. I wouldn't sit here and tell Liverpool supporters how to behave. I know how they have behaved over many years has been fantastic. "These are well-educated supporters who value humanity. I have no issues or no problems there, the message has been clear, and from Sir Alex as well, in relation to his supporters. "I am sure once we pay the tributes to the families we can get on with the football."
