Jeff: You can never underestimate a team just because two of their key players are missing. Liverpool are still a strong squad and will be a huge threat to United. Obviously Liverpool would prefer to have them play on Saturday, but with or without them, they still have a great chance of picking up at least a point at home.
4. How do you expect your opponents to perform at Anfield tomorrow?
Barney: I expect them to perform like the Champions they are. Keane will find it very hard against Vidic and Ferdinand, and Rooney and Tevez and perhaps Berbatov will be looking to give Carragher and co a tough time. If Man Utd win, I can, unfortunately, see it either being a 3-0 demolition, or a late goal to grab the 1-0 win like they have done so often recently.
Jeff: People can talk all they want about Anfield being a fortress, but United have done brilliantly there in recent seasons. O’Shea and Tevez got the winners in each of the last Premier League matches there and United will be confident of securing another win in front of the Kop. Liverpool will be hoping to put in a good performance, however, and also shrug off the tag of being under performers against other teams in the big four.
5. What is your prediction for the match?
Barney: I can't decide on one single result but, for once, none of the results I expect are in Liverpool's favour. I can either see a 0-0 draw, or, as said above, a 1-0 or 3-0 win for United. I sure hope I'm wrong but with Gerrard and Torres out, we will find it very tough. Mascherano will be key, as will Ryan Babel and, if Robbie Keane can do well up front, perhaps we could sneak a win. But even I think that's optimistic!
Jeff: I’d prefer not to predict a result as my prediction will most likely be biased. But I can’t wait for the match and hopefully it will be as good of a match as the recent United vs. Liverpool meetings.
