 As the teams prepare for what Sir Alex Ferguson bas billed the game of the season, Liverpool are still on a high after qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League.
After suffering their first Premiership defeat of the season against Reading, the Reds want to bounce back in style and have Xabi Alonso available after two months out with a broken metatarsal. Javier Mascherano should be fit after picking up a knock against Marseille, while Steve Finnan is doubtful with a bad calf.
United have no major injury worries with John O’Shea the only doubt because of an abductor strain. And Ferguson is confident he will be fit enough to take part in the game.
Owen Hargreaves has recovered from a calf injury and is likely to feature in the important Anfield meeting with both sides looking for a victory on a day the top four are all in action against each other.
