Manchester United have not really played at their full potential yet this season. While they have shown some glimpses of it in the wins over Blackburn and Birmingham. However, they have only lost twice this season and one quality that is evident in United is their ability to grind out results. That quality has helped them a lot this season with important wins at Stoke City and West Brom. While they have only lost twice this season, both of them came away from home. With United set to visit Anfield, another defeat away from home is something they would not want. Another important point is that United have only won four times away from home this season.

Manchester United currently sit on top with 60 points while Liverpool are in 6th with 39 points. A win for United will allow them to further extend their lead at the top, which would benefit their title bid hugely. Liverpool also do need a win if they want to keep their Champions league hopes for next season alive. Although the Reds are 11 points behind Manchester City in 3rd, there are some very tight fixtures coming up all those clubs above them as well. So, Liverpool will have to grab all their chance and not drop points to play Champions League football next season. Pretty tight up there.

This is the data that intensifies this Sunday's encounter. United have lost twice in their last five games while Liverpool have only lost once. However, both teams crucially lost their last game against West Ham and Chelsea respectively. This whole circumstances provides a stronger reason for victory as both team get set to battle it out at Anfield.

 

Liverpool Vs Manchester United: How Will The Team Shape Up

Sir Alex has a defensive crisis on his hand after the dismissal of Nemanja Vidic against Chelsea last Tuesday. He will be suspended for this fixture while Rio Ferdinand (calf) and Jonny Evans (ankle) are both still out. This leaves him with Wes Brown and Chris Smalling as his only two centre-backs. Brown hasn't played a lot of football this season but his experience could be valuable for the team at the back. He is expected to partner Smalling in defence but do not be surprised if Sir Alex opts for a more experienced defence with O'Shea and Brown in it. Anderson and Park Ji Sung remain out on the sidelines while Patrice Evra is facing a battle with time to get fit by Sunday.

Liverpool meanwhile will definitely be without Martin Kelly (hamstring) while Raul Meireles is still a doubt for Sunday. Fabio Aurelio and Daniel Agger could both return for the team while rumors are strong that Andy Carroll might even make his debut on Sunday. A start on the bench is looking more likely for the former Newcastle man.

 

Liverpool Vs Manchester United: Conclusion

With another fantastic encounter between Liverpool and Manchester United on the cards, it is almost time for you guys to buckle up your seatbelts.
