The big northern clash commences today as Manchester United host Merseyside rivals Liverpool in a bid to boost their title hopes ahead of Arsenal's comfortable win over West Ham United yesterday,as well as Chelsea's match against Blackburn Rovers being an crucial decider for Carlo Ancelotti,as they travel to Ewood Park and to redeem themselves following their elimination from the tournament on penalties,courtesy of the Lancashire club.
Manchester United's recent results against the Reds don't prove to be good reading for Red Devils fans as Liverpool currently hold a 3-game winning streak and will look to humiliate them once more with a win at Old Trafford.This time,if Ferguson loses,then it will be a massive blow,not only for the fans at losing for the fourth time to their bitter neighbours,but also damaging their chances of retaining the Premier League title this season and marking themselves in the league's history as the only club to have won the title four times.
The main focus point of this match on the field will be the battle between Wayne Rooney and Fernando Torres.Both have been integral to the fortunes of the club and their ambitions to close this season with something to cheer about as their goals,combined,look astounding.Ex-Everton wonderkid Wayne Rooney leads the charts with 25 goals under his belt with Didier Drogba not far behind and will definately look to make it 26,27 or even 28 should he find the net past Spanish shot-stopper Pepe Reina.
Torres,whose season has been marred with injury,has not made the top five chart of Premier League players' top goalscorers,but underestimation of this Spaniard's ability to score would be a massive mistake for United to make.Him,alongside Steven Gerrard are Benitez' main men and with them looking to pair up once more,they could become deadly for Vidic and Ferdinand,as well as Evra and possibly Gary Neville at the heart of the United backline.
Liverpool need to win this match following Spurs' 2-1 win over Stoke City at the Britannia on Saturday,which drifts them further away from finishing fourth in May and qualifying for the Champions League after their abysmal performance in the prestigious European competiton.Despite that,the Europa League has seen the best of the Reds shine,and that was proven in their home tie against French outfit,Lille in a convincing 3-0 win that turned out to be a 3-1 win on aggregate and following them through into the next round of the tournament,with the prospect of an all-English final against Fulham,who sensationally became triumphant against Italians Juventus 5-4 at Craven Cottage to Cottagers' crowd in raptures.
