Will Rooney's Passion Secure a Passage For a Fourth Title

Sunday once again bring's the best together, as one of the greatest rivalries will be test at Old Trafford.

For many this hasn't been a season to remember, for others the hunger for more success continues.

The old foes meet in an all important clash, as United need not slip up in the Title race, while Liverpool compete for a fourth place finish.

With Chelsea now knocked our of Europe, they will shift all their attention to the league and hope to take the trophy to London.

Liverpool also have a tough week, since playing on Monday night against Portsmouth and having a Europa League clash tonight. Rafa will hope to secure the European encounter early so he can rest a few players.

United having done their European duties last week, have the week to rest and prepare for the big game.

Home advantage will play a huge role with over 70 000 fans packed into Old Trafford. Many questions are flying around with regards to United fans boycotting the game in protest to the Gralzers...Personally i doubt the United faith full will risk a result with such a stance.

If United look to dominate the game, Wayne Rooney will have to cast his spell on The Reds, and show his magical form once again. With 32 goals in all competitions this season, the English striker will hope his opposite number in Fernando Torres won't be firing.

It seems form is thrown out the window when it comes to the big clash, so whether United are on top, or Liverpool are grounded to the bottom...When these two great clubs come head-to-head the passion for success takes over.

Steven Gerrard has shown a poor run in this season, but will look to change that as he and his team will hope to dent United's title challenge.

Liverpool do have something to gain if United fault at winning the league, and that is United won't over take their title record of 18. Currently both teams are at 18 each.

Fergie will want to attack Liverpool from the start and hope in getting the advantage early on as to then steady the ship and hope for a comfortable win...but we know that's not how it happens when these giants meet.

United's possible starting 11: (4 - 5 - 1)

Van der Sar

Gary Neville

Rio Ferdinand

Nemanja Vidic

Patrice Evra

Antonio Valencia

Darren Fletcher

Paul Scholes

Micheal Carrick

Nani

Wayne Rooney

Park could also be another player to look at if he wants to hold the ball more and work through the midfield, depending on Nani's form it's either him or Park to start on that left.

We have seen Park play a central floating role against Milan as he kept Pirlo at bay in both legs. Maybe something Sir Alex will look at towards Gerrard or Aqualani.

Our defence pairing seems to gather its consistency as the end nears, with Rio and Vida playing a few games together after lengthy lay-offs.

Liverpool coul play a similar formation which will crowd up the center, it will be up to Carrick and Scholes to distribute the ball with Fletch hoping to win the tackles.

Yes each team is made up of 11 players, but Wayne Rooney holds the key to success, if he can penetrate the Liverpool defence and trouble Reina, with his current goal scoring form something will come off.

Spot kicks will be a way through the fragile Liverpool defence as there marking strategies don't seem to be paying off, and with Rooney in the air, a goal is sure to come.

Well best of luck to both teams, lets hope the best team wins...and we know whose the better team..right?
