For many fans, this is much more than a football match. Come this Sunday, one of the fiercest rivalries in the English football will have its latest round of fighting. There can be arguments in favour of both the teams.

After many recent years of being the underdogs, Liverpool enter the contest with the tag of favourites. They are well above the reigning champions on the points tally and have the air of some of their all-conquering past teams.

Manchester United haven't been consistent in the season. But, home advantage is going to be a key factor for this tie. This is also a matter of pride for the Manchester side. They just cannot allow Liverpool to boss them at home.

Liverpool too have pride at stakes, but the team wants a win for keeping the title hopes alive. They are seven points behind Chelsea, with a game in hand. There is no team in the world that does not fear their attack, which has rained 15 goals in the last four games.

In contrast, United’s recent form has been shaky, with draws, defeats and tournament exits being more regular features than wins, wins and wins that were the feature of the Sir Alex Ferguson era. One thing that would give them confidence is their home record against Liverpool: six out of six in the recent past. It was in 2008 that Liverpool won last at Old Trafford.

This time, though, United’s proud home record is under threat. Luis Suárez, Daniel Sturridge, Steven Gerrard and Raheem Sterling have been playing a dazzling brand of attacking football. They failed to score in only one match of the EPL season. On the other side, both Robin Van Persie and Wayne Rooney have a good record against the Merseysiders.
