Weekend Review - 25 Oct 09


Liverpool vs Manchester United



"Man Utd can take their eyes off for their Champions League till Feb 2010 as they are virtually to the next round."
-Gary, 25 Oct 09


Man Utd can take their eyes off for their Champions League till Feb 2010 as they are virtually to the next round.

Man Utd just need one more point to ensure qualification to the next round when they meet CSKA Moscow 2 weeks from now.

For the whole week, Liverpool is in the headlines for the wrong reasons. Management is trying to sell the club, manager not good enough to lead the club to their first ever Premier League title since 1990, yet able to do exceptionally well in European campaigns. Rafa Benitez is not bringing out the best in players either, and Liverpool is fast becoming a 2 men team as they relied too much on Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres. Liverpool is also going through the worst run right now with 4 defeats.

But with the Top 4 all suffering defeats so early in the season seem to be an indicator that the season is tighter and teams like Aston Villa, Tottenham and Man City are able to do an upset to the Top 4 anytime. So far, no team have won the Premiership title with no more than 3 defeats. Perhaps this season could be an exceptionally one.

Liverpool Team News: Fernando Torres, Sotirios Kyrigiakos, Damien Plessis and Alberto Aquilani are out.

Man Utd Team News: Wayne Rooney and Darren Fletcher are out.

Odds and Analysis: Man Utd is giving 0.25 handicap. Although Rafa Benitez have only won against Fergie twice since he came in 2004, I believe he might win this to make the league exciting.
