Love playing Liverpool, they haven't beat us for a while now and are probably due a win. They're without Torres and possibly Gerrard, we'll be missing Ronaldo for sure. (Carrick, Hargreaves & Giggs are all possible choices, and it's still possible we could sign Dimitar Berbatov at this time).
Fergie's line-up:
------------------- Van Der Sar ----------------
- Brown ----- Ferdinand ---- Vidić ------ Evra -
------------- Anderson ------- Scholes ---------
- Fletcher ------------------------------ Nani -
---------------- Tévez ---- Rooney -------------
Subs: Kuszczak, Neville, O'Shea, Park Ji-Sung, Possebon, Gibson & Rafael De Silva.
This is a "worst-case" scenario line-up IMO. This is in case we don't have Carrick, Hargreaves or Giggs fit and don't manage to sign Berbatov. Fergie will be reluctant to drop Fletcher after such good performances in the Premier League so far, not to mention he's the only one to chip in with goals so far. It'd be harsh to drop him even if we have Hargreaves back. Anyway, that's almost an unchanged team from the match with Zenit St. Petersburg, which we lost, but on paper that's our strongest team. (I'd personally have Park on the right for more penetration, but I feel that Fergie will utilize the pace of Park towards the end of the game, especially seeing how he won't be at full match fitness). The rest of the team picks itself, we only have the two strikers, Neville isn't up to full fitness and Brown is probably better than him now sadly. Nani needs to perform, Scholes needs to keep his hands off the ball etc. But all in all it's a strong side.
If we get any of our injured players back, he'll probably stick them on the bench instead of some of our less experienced players. (Gibson, Possebon, Rafael). I'm unsure if he'll start Berbatov if we manage to make the signing, but seeing him on the bench would also make me happy.
I'm going to be boring and predict a 0-0 draw as both teams are lacking penetration, playing badly and missing players. In theory it's got 0-0 written all over it, but since it's Liverpool vs Manchester United, we've got to expect some crazy things to happen.
(Just in case you were wondering, which I doubt people are, I'd play Fletcher in the middle next to Scholes with Park on the wing. Anderson on the bench for a bit of a rest, though that's providing we only have the squad I posted up there already).
