"From what I can remember when we've beaten Liverpool, the fans have helped us massively," said the 24-year-old.
"It's always a difficult game physically and mentally, so we'll definitely need them. They'll be up for the game. They'll want to beat Liverpool just as much as we do," Rashford added.
The United forward also urged his team to prove their worth against Liverpool as he admitted the fixture has an extra edge. "To be honest, I feel exactly the same [as in the past heading into this fixture]," he said.
"Against anyone, you want to win, but against your Liverpools and Manchester Citys, you want to prove why you play for Manchester United. Winning against Liverpool is the same feeling as when I was a kid. Do goals against Liverpool mean more? Yeah, I'd probably say so. After the game, you realise a goal's a goal and you need to score them against any team," Rashford concluded.
