Manchester United v Liverpool Preview

       Two disappointing results in a row means there is added pressure on United to get a result over arch-rivals Liverpool. Although only Darren Fletcher started both matches, the disappointment will have been felt throughout the squad. On the other hand Liverpool head down the East Lancs Road in a much more positive state of mind. Since their humbling at the hands of Manchester City, they have won three and drawn one. Admittedly two of those were in the Europa League but they have a chance to build momentum with a positive outcome on Sunday.
       United still go in to the game as favourites and the squad is strong again, with Antonio Valencia the only new absentee after his shocking midweek injury. Rafael returns from suspension whilst Vidic, Nani, Scholes and Evra will be back after a night off on Tuesday.
