Calling all armchair managers! The time has come to pit your wits against Sir Alex Ferguson and see whether he agrees with your team selection for Manchester United's Premier League match
Revenge is in the air and Ferguson will have to manage the balancing act between going all guns blazing and getting the right result. After three defeats on the spin to Liverpool, United are hell-bent on sending the visitors packing. The Scot should choose a calculated approach to get one over on Rafa Benitez.
An on-song Dimitar Berbatov can expect a return to the bench as the 4-5-1 formation favoured in big matches reappears. Wayne Rooney will lead the line on his own. The temptation to start Ryan Giggs will be great after he shook off an arm injury. In his absence, both Park Ji-Sung and Nani have shone, with the Korean expected to get the nod to flank Rooney with Antonio Valencia.
Liverpool's strength in midifeld has crushed United in recent meetings. The tight central three of Michael Carrick, Darren Fletcher and Paul Scholes should correct the problem. At the back, experience is key. Gary Neville could continue his starting run, while Nemanja Vidic will be desperate to exorcise the demons of Fernando Torres and a trio of red cards.
Availability:
Goalkeepers: Edwin Van der Sar, Tomasz Kuszscak, Ben Foster.
Defenders: Gary Neville, Jonny Evans, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand, Rafael da Silva, Fabio da Silva, Patrice Evra, Ritchie De Laet.
Midfielders: Antonio Valencia, Nani, Ji-Sung Park, Ryan Giggs, Gabriel Obertan, Paul Scholes, Darren Fletcher, Michael Carrick, Darron Gibson.
Attackers: Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov, Mame Biram Diouf.
