    Going to game myself my mate has just made a decent size flag with 19 on it.

    We might not get in with it, but if we do he display it.

    I say there be few banners at the games anyway.

    Like a kid cant wait flying out tomorrow have half day.

    Seriously!!

    Nani/Young/Valencia will not outplay Enrique anyway. And Johnsons defence has improved a lot. I wouldnt fancy Carra and Skrtel against Shrek and Hernandez though, but if there is no supply Rooney will have to drop off so can see Hernandez being less effective.

    The key is to win the midfield battle and limit the supply to Shrek and Hernandez
    Yeah I'm sure Nani's quaking in his boots that a defender who was in the Newcastle team for a fair few hammerings at the hands of United will be there. Good thing Carragher wont be near him hopefully after that tackle last year. Rooney also does terrible from deep positions as shown so far this season. Liverpool wont be able to deal with United's wingers but United's CM probably wont be able to handle Liverpools imo so it makes for an intriguing battle.

    United to win comfortably.

    Liverpool have fallen so far that they're now little more than "one off shock" merchants. They've managed to shock United recently but that won't happen on Saturday.

    Just look at the Liverpool team and compare it to United's team. Liverpool are in my view a poor side with poor players (except for Suarez, Reina and Gerrard).

    Carroll is pound for pound the worst signing in the history of English football. Lest we forget, he's the 8th most expensive player in the history of football. I'm sure Vida is licking his lips at the thought of taking care of Carroll.

    If Suarez produces a magical performance and United play poorly then Liverpool have a chance. But if United show up and perform to 80% of their capability, they'll win by at least two clear goals. I fully expect United to do this.

    I don't think so.

    Carroll played fantastic against Everton. He has too much power and pace for Vidic, I think Vidic is going to have his annual howler vs Liverpool. Carroll is going to have a great game and Suarez is going to give Evra the run around as he has been dire of late.

    Liverpool will have too much in midfield and while United's attack looks good on paper, I think Rooney's mind isn't in it after what happened in Podgorica.

    Liverpool will win comfortably, they always do at Anfield.

    fully agree, if United can break even with possession then they should come out on top. I fancy all of Uniteds front 4 to be able to beat their immediate opponent.

    No, once Gerrard comes back, Carroll will be a different player.

    Lack of service has been the problem to date.

    Its posts like this that always come back to bite the person in the arse.

    Bambozling and Bateman are like the elite level of trolls. Claiming to be supporters while trolling there "own" fan base through sheer embarrassment. All credit to them, it's high level thinking. Pretty sure Bambozling will watching the match on saturday in his United jersey while Batemen is kitted out in his Liverpool gear.

    Suarez will start as well.

    Suarez doesn't rely as heavily on service from midfield for his goals. He has the pace and dribbling ability to create his own chances.

    Carroll will start and score imo.

    Team will be:

    Midfield and front line will be:

    Kuyt
    Gerrard if fit/Adam if not----Lucas
    Downing


    Suarez
    Carroll

    You cant look past United for the win simply based on the fact there a far superior outfit.

    However i wouldnt rule out Liverpool completely at Anfiled.

    Liverpool will win comfortably, they always do at Anfield.

    If it doesn't work out you can always switch back.
