Liverpool star Jamie Carragher is aiming for more medals and the chance to cut Manchester United down to size.
The Reds full-back, a native Scouser, knows all about the bitter rivalry between these two northern giants - he has lived with it all his life - and is aware that Liverpool are being branded the underdogs when they meet the Old Trafford side in the Worthington Cup Final in Cardiff.
"This is something special, playing Manchester United. We have done well against them recently and to a local lad like me there's always that extra rivalry from way back, which I understand," said Carragher.
"United are doing better than us in the Champions league and the Premiership this season, but we have a great record against them over the last few years so we go into this one very confident.
"As a local lad you get so much feedback from the fans, I know what it means to play United at anything.
"Even the new foreign lads are excited about this one, they want to win in Cardiff and beat United."
The full back sees this mighty showdown as the chance to re-ignite Liverpool's season towards winning back their place in the Champions League, where he is acutely aware that today's rivals in Cardiff are in the elite competition's last eight for the seventh season in succession.
Carragher said: "The trophy we wanted at the beginning of the season was the championship, but that's not going to happen.
"But I want as many winners' medals as I can get so this game takes on an importance of it's own.
"We have played in finals in Cardiff more than any team, so we enjoy going there - and winning.
"The place holds a special place for us, we won our first trophy there a couple of seasons ago on penalties in this tournament against Birmingham, so we aim to do it again.
"There's a lot of lads still here from that team so we all know what to expect and what we want. These lads were all here when we won the five trophies and we want more.
"We hope this can kick start us, to help us push to get back into the Champions League."
Carragher believed it would be more than adequate compensation for their erratic form this season, in which Liverpool still have high hopes in the UEFA Cup after reaching the quarter-finals.
He said: "We are disappointed with the league performances but if we can get our hands on two cups now it will be more than a salvation, it will be an excellent season."
