Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher admits Manchester United have been better than the Reds in recent derbies ahead of their home clash on Saturday.
The Reds have not beaten United in the Premier League since 2004.
Carragher, 30, told BBC Radio Merseyside: "I'm not a great believer in being lucky or unlucky. I'm a big believer in 'you get what you deserve'.
"United over the last few years have probably edged it with us and small details in football make a difference."
The former England international added: "That's why they've been better than us and that's something we need to liven up.
"It's a massive game, United and Everton are the ones you look for when the fixture list comes out.
"Hopefully we can get the three points and that will give us a bit of confidence for the season ahead."
Manchester United have won three of the last four league meetings between the two sides on Merseyside by a single goal, with the other game since Rafael Benitez's arrival as manage a goalless draw.
