The tensions will be higher,the atmosphere will be turbulent and fierce battles will be fought on the Old Trafford pitch. The Red Devils will look to keep their bid for the 4th spot alive by somehow silencing the away fans,who will be gearing up to face a renaissance affected United side.
Both sides have beaten each other once this season with Liverpool beating United 1-0 in the Premier League and United beating Liverpool 1-0 in the League Cup,thanks to a Chicharito volley.Daniel Sturridge had managed to steer in a Daniel Agger header from close range,early in the game’s proceedings.
But,the game won’t be any easier for both sides considering the fact that United had beaten Liverpool at Old Trafford in the League Cup but not at Anfield.This will be an unfamiliar position for both sides of late as at the start of the season there won’t have been many supporters from either side saying that Liverpool would have an 11 point lead over Manchester United with 10 games remaining – but that’s the way it is.
United are looking ahead to a tough set of fixtures after Liverpool and would expect to pick up 3 crucial points against the Merseysiders.
Team News
We United fans hate Liverpool,don’t we?And Liverpool fans hate our team.
Although,we United fans would have loved to contemplate either of the SAS being injured but it’s not the case.
United will be back with a full squad and winger Nani ,who was sidelined for almost a month may be back in action.
Liverpool will still be missing first choice left back Jose Enrique but the Scousers have received a double injury boost ahead of the United clash. Defensive midfielder Lucas will be back in action along with former PSG centre back Mamadou Sakho .
Expected Line-ups
Here’s how the two sides may line up at Old Trafford on Sunday

Predictions
As expected,the game will be a tense and a high pressure one and a single mistake can cost the game for either of these sides.And it sure will be make or break for Moyes’ men ,considering they will have just 9 games to go after this one to secure a European spot.
The SAS pairing will be difficult to handle but if Phil Jonah wants to prove that he’s one of the best young centre backs in the world,he’d have to prove his mettle.The same will be the case for Chris Smalling ,if he pairs up with Jonah at the back.
The Wazza-Rvp-Mata-Adnan quadruple has now been upgraded to five men with Marouane Fellaini joining in.If these five come any way near to playing well,Liverpool sure will be in for a tough time.
I predict a 1-1 draw but it’s very tough to predict,this one!
