Fernando 'El Nino' Torres has long been the scourge of the Red Devils and, whilst Man Utd (1.68) have the chance to keep up their assault on a 4th consecutive title, Liverpool (5.10) are always fired up for this fixture – most markedly so in their 4-1 win last season.
Fit again goal scorer Torres (6.00) will be giving Nemanja Vidic sleepless nights in the build up to the game. The talismanic Spaniard's pace and dynamic play has tormented the normally-assured Serb international throughout recent times - resulting in a red card for Vidic in their last three encounters!
Man Utd will look to Wayne Rooney (3.50) to combine with his sublimely talented, if at times frustrating, strike partner Dimitar Berbatov (5.00) and continue his best ever season in front of goal on the way to a vital victory for Sir Alex Ferguson.
Rafa Benitez sent his players out to attack against Portsmouth and the 4-1 win was evidence that when his side play with flair and the incisive passing traditionally associated with Liverpool, they have the ability to easily take teams apart. Sir Alex's Utd are made of sterner stuff however and both managers’ tactical nous will be tested to the max.
And in the capital...
There's derby action at the Emirates where Arsenal (1.24) play West Ham (11.50).
The Gunners are desperate to keep pace at the top of the league and, although West Ham would love to spoil the plans of their London rivals, Arsene Wenger will be confident that his team can notch up another 3 points.
There's bound to be goals in this one and even with the possibility that they may be missing Cesc Fabregas, a 3-0 Arsenal win (7.50) is a distinct possibility... but you never know what might happen if the Hammers are on form.I
