Manchester United vs Liverpool

"Both teams did not put their first 11 for their midweek European matches, an indication that both regard this match as highly important."

-Gary, 19 Sep 2010

When I first saw the lineup, for a moment I thought the match was Carling Cup or against lower league opponents. But Rangers? Fergie really underestimated them that he make 10 changes to the team that drew with Everton. 2 drew matches in a week is not a typical Man Utd you see in these days.

I dont think a crisis is forming, neither is Fergie pressing the red button yet but rather with the freak injuries to Valencia, and with Rooney hitting more girls than the ball in the net, we relied too much on midfield where players are at the both end of the playing career. Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes are unable to play forever, and with Darren Fletcher, Park Ji-sung, Nani, they do not have the experience of playing for the team on a regular basis. Although much has been lauded about Javier Hernandez, Chris Smalling and the unknown Bebe, the trio are untested on the big stage yet. And is a worrying time ahead for the current team.

Liverpool, under Roy Hodgson, with only 1 loss at the moment, are slowly getting some decent results although everyone is hoping for a sale that investors can bring Liverpool back to the elites.

Both teams did not put their first 11 for their midweek European matches, an indication that both regard this match as highly important. One is to catch Chelsea, the other will be moving up the league table and chase for the coveted 4th place for Champions League next season.

Man Utd Team News: Owen Hargreaves, Antonio Valencia and Michael Carrick are out.

Liverpool Team News: Fabio Aurelio and Dirk Kuyt are out.

Odds and Analysis: Man Utd is giving 0.75 handicap. The handicap is too high that seem to underestimated Liverpool. I avoid and will go for a draw.
