"It was a fantastic day for me: playing at Anfield, scoring twice and scoring the winning goal." United host Liverpool on Saturday on the back of a thrilling comeback win at Crystal Palace on Monday, Mourinho's men claiming a 3-2 victory thanks to a late Nemanja Matic screamer. "It was a tough game," Mata said. "We were lucky to come back after being 2-0 down, especially playing away from home. The result was a great boost of confidence as well as beating Chelsea the week before. "Liverpool are a good team. Everything is going quite well for them, especially with their attacking players. They're scoring a lot of goals especially from Mohamed Salah, who's having a fantastic season. We need to be ready for them. "Every player prefers to play at home. We need to make that count. We are at Old Trafford, where we feel comfortable, and we need to give 100 per cent to create an atmosphere for the fans."</blockquote>
