The 26-year-old joined Liverpool in the summer and he has never been to the 'Theatre of Dreams' but wishes to make his first visit memorable.

"It will be great to play there, and it would be great to win there," Kuyt was quoted as saying by Liverpool's website.

"It would be great for me to get the winning goal against Manchester United. That would be the best moment of my career so far.

"The rivalry is just like Feyenoord and Ajax in Holland and I just can't wait to play in this match."

United are hot favorites to win the game as they are second with 19 points while Liverpool lie in 11th place with as many points.

But Kuyt believes that this match has nothing to do with the standings.

"When you're a Liverpool player, to be up against United in a great stadium is fantastic," he said.

"It doesn't matter where you are in the league. When you're a Liverpool player you always have to win, that's what is expected of you."
