Liverpool vs Manchester United Preview


After a 2 week break from league play due to international competitions, the English Premier League gets back underway this weekend. The biggest match of the weekend is Liverpool vs. Manchester United, which will be played at Old Trafford, the famed United stadium. This match is one of the most anticipated games every year, as the two clubs have always been tremendous rivals at or near the top of the league. 

As I said in earlier posts, I'm a Liverpool fan so I obviously want them to win, but this will be far from an easy match. Manchester United are consistently one of the top two teams in the league. Any team with players as talented as Rooney, Young, Vidic and countless others is going to be difficult to beat. I'd love to say its going to be an emphatic win for the Reds, but that's just simply not the case. It'll be a hard fought game to be sure, but I think it more than likely ends a stalemate. Let's call it a draw, you could say.

It has never been the most friendly of rivalries
