Manchester United had a close encounter with West Ham this weekend – but Van Persie’s late involvement secured their inevitable comeback. If you overlook Michu’s price tag it’s hard to argue that he’s not been the player the most value for money in the Premiership this season.
Daniel Sturridge has silenced his critics, for the time being, with a debut goal and this game could be a chance to see him linking up with Suarez. Or rather the other way round – Daniel Sturridge wasn’t really known for his linking up with anyone when he was at Chelsea . Perhaps, now the pressure is off and he can envisage himself having a place in the team at Liverpool , Daniel Sturridge will be able to develop his team play. This is a huge game, much unlike last week’s trip to Mansfield , and Sturridge should consider this to be his real debut in a Liverpool shirt.
Wayne Rooney is unavailable for this fixture, but that gives fringe players, such as Javier Hernandez, an opportunity to prove their worth.
Manchester United have collected more of their points in the second halves of recent seasons and winning this fixture will signal to winning of the title for many.
Expect a home win.
Manchester United v Liverpool : Verdict – Manchester United 4/5
