The Reds look to leapfrog Manchester City to the top of the Premier League table when they take on their arch-rivals.
Liverpool had to make do with a 0-0 draw against the German champions last night at Anfield after missing a host of chances.
But ex-Reds midfielder Terry McDermott believes they will convert their chances at Old Trafford.
He told Love Sport: “They [United] have obviously been playing a lot better over the past two months and, unlike when we last played them, we know it’s going to be a completely different ball game.
“When we face them on Sunday you know they’re going to be ready for us and their recent game at Chelsea just highlighted that.
“Although the result didn’t go our way last night, the football we played was superb and if we play anywhere like that we won’t miss those chances again.”
McDermott feels Liverpool were unlucky not to beat Bayern last night with Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino all failing to convert.
“It’s fair to say that both teams had opportunities, but I felt that on another day with the three strikers at our disposal and the chances we had you felt we would’ve scored,” he explained.
“I just think of the game I played in 1981 when we drew 0-0 against Bayern at home in the first leg and we went there and drew 1-1 and went through to the final, so it’s been done before and I’m sure it can be done again.
“Given the amount of chances we created in the first leg, we’ll certainly give it a go and I’m certain we will do the business in Germany.”
Liverpool have a poor record away from home in the Champions League this season – losing all three of their group stage games.
“Maybe they didn’t deserve to lose all three games, but they’ve only got to use that as motivation,” McDermott added.
“When you look at how good the atmosphere was on Tuesday at Anfield, these are the kind of games you live for and it will be a big opportunity for them.
“One thing is for sure they won’t want to lose a fourth.”
Liverpool currently sit second in the Premier League on goal difference behind City.
Pep Guardiola’s side face Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday giving the Reds an opportunity to go top of the table.
