Jamie Carragher is hoping Manchester City can do Liverpool a huge favour when they face United in their local derby at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The Reds are currently three points behind Alex Ferguson's men having played a game more, and Carragher admits Liverpool will be keeping their fingers crossed that Mark Hughes and co can pull off a shock win against their rivals.
"We can only look after ourselves and we've been saying that for a while now," said the centre-back.
"We're in great form and have to keep that going until the end of the season and see what happens.
"It's in United's hands, it's up to them to throw away. But Man City or Arsenal could do us a favour.
"Manchester City are in great form at the moment and Arsenal might have something to prove if they are knocked out of the Champions League, so they can definitely get something against United."
Skipper Steven Gerrard, who returned against Newcastle after missing the previous four games with an adductor injury, added: "We'll keep fighting all the way to the end.
"Manchester United have a big Champions League game in midweek and hopefully Man City can do us a favour next week. But being realistic, we know they are still favourites."
