Liverpool v Man U

[kinboshi]

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...

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

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.
