The biggest derby in English football sees Manchester United host Liverpool in what should be another classic Premier League encounter. Join us for live scores and commentary from 12.30am AEDT.
Liverpool has not defeated United at Old Trafford since the 2008/09 season, but recent form suggests that the Reds possess their best chance to claim a win over their great rivals away from home.
The Reds are currently in second place on the Premier league table, seven points adrift of Chelsea, and need a win tonight to keep the pressure on the Blues.
Standing in Liverpool’s way tonight is a United outfit that has already suffered four losses at home this season.
To put that into perspective, half of United’s defeats in the Premier League thus far have occurred at Old Trafford, their fabled theatre of dreams.
Unfortunately for United, Old Trafford has been anything but a theatre of dreams this season, and Liverpool could play a big part in turning United’s afternoon into another nightmare.
In Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez, Liverpool possess the most formidable forward line in the Premier League and they will tear United to shreds if the home side don’t measure up defensively.
Liverpool though have defensive concerns themselves, leaking seven goals in their past three matches.
While United strikers Wayne Rooney and Robin Van Persie may not be in the best of touch, the duo do possess the class and skill necessary to hurt Liverpool tonight if the Reds are not careful.
With Liverpool in such great attacking form however, expect the Reds to really go out and search for a win that will keep them in the hunt for the Premier League title.
While United at home should rise to the occasion against their great rivals, a fit and firing Liverpool possess the firepower to finally beat the red devils away from home.
