It’s difficult to see anything other than an away win here. It is important that United concentrate on maintaining the gap to Chelsea by putting in a convincing performance on Saturday against obstinate opponents. Liverpool already made the mistake of underestimating Neil Warnock’s team. The good thing is that United’s starting X1 is known to those looking to change it. That should mean the likes of Heinze, Silvestre, Fletcher and Richardson are fired up to impress.
United should be too strong defensively to offer hope to a team short on goal-scoring confidence. The form of United’s back 5 has been good with clean sheets resulting in goal action at the other end. If United’s football flows the chances will continue to fall to Saha and Rooney. And if that happens not only will United get the result, there is a very good chance of this fixture turning into a rout.
With the tasty clash with Celtic just around the corner Fergie may well select a slightly changed side. Latest news is that Giggs is a doubt after picking up a knock on duty for Wales. The good news is that Rooney, Vidic and Ronaldo all scored on International duty last night.
Probable Team: Van der Saar, O’Shea, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Fletcher, Carrick, Scholes, Ronaldo, Saha, Rooney.
Subs from: Kuszczak, Brown, Heinze, Smith, Richardson, Giggs, Silvestre
Injured: Neville, Solskjaer, Park
Prediction: 0-4 (Scholes 2, Saha, Rooney)
