A match both teams cannot lose. United must keep their wits and not lose points in this campaign while Chelsea still have a game in hand and can very well pass them in the table. Liverpool are still seeking a 4th place finish, and manager Benitez has come under heavy fire recently for his squad´s poor performance.
But Liverpool come from a European match that was greatly successful, beating Lille 3-0 and, almost has importantly, with 2 goals from Torres, who looks like he´s back on friendlly terms with scoring. Skrtel is still out for the Merseyside Reds, but Aurelio is in with a chance of returning to the team. But this is a match that can, and most certainly will, be won in midfield, and Liverpool´s is injury free, although the question will remain whether they´re fully recovered from the match last Thursday.
United´s injury list has grown to a troublesome length once more, with Ritchie De Laet, Wes Brown, Rafael da Silva, Michael Owen, Anderson, John O’Shea and Owen Hargreaves all out. Not even the possible return of Ryan Giggs, who is set as “doubtful”, can rest Sir Alex ahead of this important clash.
