Manchester United vs Liverpool | The Match Preview

The English Premier League is reaching its pivotal point and Today's game could decide two important things. The battle for the title and the battle for the 4th spot. Manchester United dearly need this win to keep their hopes on the 4th consecutive titles alive while Liverpool need to win this to stay on course for the last European spot.

Needless of all these, Man United vs Liverpool games have always been full of adrenaline. Both of them have won England's biggest 18 times and of course, Liverpool has not won a single title after the inception of the Premier League in 1992. But they have defeated United 3 times in a row now including that 4-1 thrashing last year at Old Trafford. Both Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard were on fire that particular night and having them both fit will only rise Rafa Benitez's hopes.

United too have struck some form lately. Having got back their best center half combination of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, it is only fair to say that they hold the advantage here. Rooney is in amazing form having scored 32 goals in 35 starts. He has been Man United's talisman this season but he has only scored 1 goals against Liverpool in 14 attempts.

Expected Lineups

Manchester United : Van Der Sar, Rafael, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra, Carrick, Fletcher, Scholes, Nani, Valencia, Rooney.

Liverpool : Reina, Agger, Carrager, Insua, Johnson, Lucas, Mascharano, Gerrard, Kuyt, Babel, Torres.

Scoreline Expected : 2-1 to United.
