No matter where the two are in the league, this is always a big game for the players and the fans.

The odds look fairly close at the moment, with Man U as the favourites despite it being at Anfield.  Based on performances this season, you'd have to favour Man U in this one and there are other factors to take into account as well - such as Suarez playing for Uruguay today and even if he comes through unscathed, he still has the flight, etc. to contend with.  So maybe he won't start on Saturday, and that would obviously be a miss for Liverpool.  Gerrard coming back to fitness is obviously a bonus, especially for a match like this. 

So where are people putting their money and predictions as to the score?

love and hate this fixture every time.  never bet on it...too much hurt if we lose anyway without losing money, and dont need the money if we win to be happy!!

Saurez & Gerrard for the 1st hour with the aim to kill the game then change if tiring, why bring them on because u need too?! Normally too late by then

Love this fixture when we win. Love carra coming out of the blocks and chopping someone to set the tone.

Not had a look at the market yet. Usual defender first scorer 2-1. But i can't wait. Was actually gonna put a thread up yesterday but thought it was too soon.

Meh, not a betting game for me...If pushed probably go for the draw. 1-1

Lucas played a full 90 minutes for Brazil last night, so another who may or may not start. Think he's one Liverpool needs.

Would be stunned if Suarez doesn't start, he despises missing a second of football if you're playing Wigan never mind Scum. Really not the sort of player who misses games.

He might want to start (and I hope he does), but depends on Dalglish, Clarke and Keen decide is best for the side.  If he's feeling anywhere close to full fitness, then he has to start imo.

Can't bet on this fixture. Liverpool at 9/4 looks decent though given the recent history.

What we need to replace, if he's is not fresh to start, is another midfielder...maybe English... :dontask:

Defensive midfielder, English, at Liverpool? You mean Spearing?

lol...sigh...u win!

I think this is a Manure win unfortunately

same

Why?

They have had a good start to the season but have not really had to play any tough teams away from home, Stoke are OK I know but they didn't look great there, apart from that they have beaten Bolton and West Brom (again not looking great). Utd have looked good at Old Trafford, but this is Liverpool Vs Man Utd which gives it an extra edge and Liverpool have performed well in these games recently and I fancy them to sneak the win at Anfield.

Liverpool v Manchester United (Kick-off 12.45pm)

Referee: A Marriner. Assistants: S Ledger, M McDonough


My cousin, Scott, is running the line for this game.  It's fair to say he's looking forward to it!

cough, how much for a cough dissallowed cough goal?

I hope they're not vying too hard for those places otherwise at least a couple of them will pick up another injury.

OK Boshi, what result would you say would be a good one for LFC this weekend? Would a draw do for you?

Good result = 2-0 win.
Fair result = 1-goal win.
Meh, we'll take it result = Draw.

Man u obviously have got off to a better start and have been scoring for fun.  We've tripped and stumbled over the opening of the season, and certainly haven't looked brilliant.  But if the team can't get up for this match, then they might as well give up.

Pretty much how I see it too, but from the other end of the East Lancs Road (and the M62/A1/A19)

Just got a text with the Liverpool line-up for tomorrow (allegedly, my source is usually pretty good, but not 100%):

Pepe
Kelly, Carragher, Skrtel, Enrique
Lucas, Adam
Kuyt, Gerrard, Downing
Suarez

Let it be true....

Adam and Stevie both playing?...will be interesting to see if it works. Also interesting to see how Stevie will cope being back

agger for sktel...my only change if poss.

If that lineup is true then it sure is good to see Dalglish is being honest with the press about no injuries incl Agger and Johnson

huh? Just because they're fit enough to be in the squad dosen't mean they have to play. Fergie is the king of saying players are injured then they line up come kick off!

 Liverpool victory would see them move to within three points of leaders United, who are sweating on the fitness of defender Nemanja Vidic.

"The big question mark is whether [he] is ready for the game," Ferguson said.

"He's certainly had his first game for Serbia on Tuesday, played a full game, so it's certainly a consideration because he's such a good competitor.

"He came in [on Thursday] and felt OK. But the Liverpool game is such an intense, draining game that you want everybody to be 100% so it may be more down to how he feels himself really."

There is no way in the world that Johnson in particular shouldn't play if he is fit.  Dalglish is doing the opposite of what you are talking about with Fergie.

Stunning team from Fergie.  More I think about it the more I like it though.  9/4 United by gametime???

Just wow. Fergie loves spicing things up. He knows if we don't get a result that the team selection will be battered but just puts out the team he thinks will do the job.

LOL, did you actually hear Dalglish when he said what he said?

Lot of respect from Fergie with the Man U line-up.

Didn't Dalglish say.  "Everyones fit" the reporter then reeled off a couple of names and he just answered "yes"?  Did I miss a comment somewhere?

Think Dalglish whooshed you.

Liverpool should've won imo, gg.
