Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish does not agree with his Manchester United counterpart's assertion that Saturday's game between the two clubs is the biggest of the season.
Alex Ferguson has said a number of times in the lead-up to the crunch encounter at Anfield that the game carries extra significance.
But Dalglish says he will be thinking more about the three points at stake than the ramifications of the Reds/Red Devils rivalry.
"People say this is the biggest game of the season but I don't look at any game as being big or small," Dalglish insisted.
"It's another game, another three points for a win. The only difference this time is the fact that, if we win, we will move a bit closer to them.
"It's an opportunity to help yourself and dent their chances at the same time."
No matter how he tries to play it down however, 'King' Kenny knows that Liverpool face a mammoth task against United, who have impressed him with their powerful start to the season.
"We know what we're up against and so do they," he said. "Nobody will have an easy 90 minutes. That's what the Premier League is all about.
"In this fixture last season, we got our reward for playing very well and won 3-1.
"But we won't get anything on Saturday because of what we did the last time we faced off against them.
"United have started the season very well. They're sitting on top at the moment and that's where everybody wants to be."
