THE BIG ONE

Vs

Football fans the world over will be glued to their screens at 14h00 GMT on Sunday the 25th October.

War-Cries will sound the walls of Anfield.

Its the Big One

Liverpool have been far from impressive this season, both domestically and in Europe. If they loose this one, it would be their worst start to a season in 56 years. If they win, they close the gap between United down to 4 points.

United will arrive in Liverpool on the wave of a 11 match winning streak. They are undefeated in Europe, and currently lead the EPL. However Liverpool at home is always a daunting task, and Benitez's Reds will fight fot these three points as though they're playing a final. Its now or never or never for Liverpool. Title hopes are dwindling and if they loose this one, the gap between them and the top will stretch to 10 points.

Liverpool defeated United last season in both legs. The Reds will try draw inspiration from that. Alot has been said about Michael Owens return to Anfield in a United shirt. There is no doubt that he will be met with hostility, however he performs on the occasion. As a Liverpool fan, I cannot forget the contributions Owen made to the team. He almost sigle handedly won the FA Cup in 2001.

Team News:

Liverpool:  Gerrard and Torres are still doubts for the match. Dossena, Aquilani, Kyrygiakos, Kelly and Reira are all injured.

Good news is Johnson is looking likely to make a comeback.

United:  Park is out with knee injury and Roooney and Fletcher are still doubtful. If Rooney is not fit to play, Owen will Surely start. giggs and Evra make a return.
