This is what my blog first looked like way back in 2011 |
It's just poetic justice that both my 1st and 100th post deals with a Manchester United vs Liverpool FC fixture. Old Trafford is the scene this Sunday 16th March 2014. Undoubtedly the fixture both supporters look forward to most every season.
This season it's different though United find themselves with a point to prove and Liverpool are serious contenders to win the English Premier League (EPL) Title, and its normally the other way around. The defending champions also find themselves in the unfamiliar position of not being favourites even though they at home. Liverpool FC come to Manchester in a confident mood because not just because of their form but United have only managed one home victory and a draw against top 7 opposition and have lost there to Newcastle, Everton and Spurs.
You better believe there is plenty to play for, it's one of those fixtures no manager needs to motivate his chargers for. Talking about Liverpool and their form the Merseysiders are yet to taste defeat in the EPL this year and with the S-A-S strike force that's second to none in Europe it doesn't bode well for the host. Don't get me wrong United are unbeaten in 4 and have now won 2 on the trot, so they not just going to lay down, especially not at home.
Key Men
Wayne Rooney and Captain Steven Gerrard for me will be crucial in this titanic fixture. It's true Manchester United/Liverpool play well if these two play well. Yes a team consists of 11 players but I'd be giving these two some special attention as both teams are littered with talent but the heart beat is Wayne and Steven no doubt.
Prediction
It's a must win for both teams, with one eye on the London Derby (just after this fixture) probably makes this a "6 pointer" as well. Which way will it go? Your guess is as good as mine, but one thing is for sure, Manchester is and will always be RED.
