Heart says Liverpool. Head says Man U, with some small insurance on the draw. Can the Reds finally open it up and see the back of the nets at Anfield? Good chance this one finishes 1-1 or 1-0 with Man U victorious. Thoughts?

1-1...Comment -

Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur have all taken more points from away matches in the Premier League than Manchester United. That record, which includes the recent 2-1 defeat at Chelsea, adds to the stress of the trip to Anfield, where Sir Alex Ferguson's side has been beaten on its last two visits. The joy of disrupting United's bid for a record 19th league title would be memorable for Liverpool, who need time to develop their squad before they can expect to compete for major trophies themselves.

united (0) is the playComment -
Liverpool (0), Suarez score... ))Comment -
i hope menchester united will win the game..Comment -
Gerrard is doubtful today. But a small bet on Liverpools i think is the most value.Comment -
Playing the over. Their is always a winner between these two and this game wont be any different. I think it will be 1-1 at the half and Man u will score in the last 15.Comment -
no gerrard for liverpool
no vidic and ferdinand for manu leaving defense vulnerable for man u and their champions league clash mid week and their recent record at anfield
hard to pick, but im still leaning manuComment -
I would play the under but odds are shitComment -
No Vidic or Ferdinand. Liverpool would be foolish to sit back this game. Over.Comment -

Manu missing their main CB.
Carragher probably playing RB.
I think we could have goals and think the over has value.Comment -
Hard to find an edge in such a big game like this imo. Hopefully we are in for a treat and it will be a very exciting game. Gonna be interesting to see both Carroll and Suarez together on the pitch for the first time.Comment -
