Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren is nearing a return after a hamstring injury but will not be fit to play against Manchester United on Sunday.

 

None of the other players on a lengthy injury list are close to fitness, with Daniel Sturridge still sidelined.

 

Manchester United will be without Bastian Schweinsteiger with a knee problem, while fellow midfielder Michael Carrick is also injured.

 

Defender Phil Jones is expected to return soon following his ankle injury.

 

 

Growing in confidence as the hours pass, we're going to fucking twat these!

[moof]

We're gonna cut them to pieces I reckon.

[manwiththestick]

I wish I could share your optimism. If we start like we did on Wednesday night and out goalie can go ninety minutes without a brain fart then we are cable of nicking it.

 

I'd love us to trounce them however I would take a scrappy one nil in a heartbeat.

[magicrat]

Pity Lovren didn't make it, not sure how Toure will cope with another high tempo game

If Mig and the other clowns at the back don't gift them anything we will win

[jimmycase]

I think both teams have big deficiencies but obviously bothered about ours rather than theirs. Our inability to defend scares the fuck out of me for this game. Hope we rip them a new one.

[an tha]

They are shite.

 

We are even worse.

 

Could be anything tomorrow.

[Dr. J]

Potential 4th place 6 pointer. For us to win and level them on points would be a huge boost for the rest of the season. Right now we're so 'game to game' that it's sometimes hard to believe that there is something to play for in the league overall, even if winning it is not that thing.

 

They'll play for a draw, hope we're after them from the kick-off and the fans get behind the team early. 1-0 us, with Mignolet man of the match.

[Joe Strummer]

Never confident about these matches. Hopefully Klopp's knowhow and big game experience is starting to allay such fears. Plus the fact these are shite, an early goal again and we are in business.

[Jairzinho]

4-1 home win.

[Gym Beglin]

Results kind to us this weekend, ergo it's nailed on we'll choke.

 

Two low-scoring sides.

 

Nil squared.

[Em City]

I'm always a bag of nerves going into these games. but I'm strangely confident about tomorrow. If we press and attack them at pace like we did Arsenal and Big Game Bob is on form again, we could do them something proper.

 

Glad Carrick is out as well, he's a big loss for them.

Imo, we won't batter them. We're too inconsistent going forwards and at the back for that to happen. We are just as likely to score 4 as we are to score none, just as likely to concede 3 as we are to get a clean sheet. 

 

Im not sure what Van Gaal will do. Considering he has lots of experience of playing Klopp sides, I find it hard to believe he wouldn't stick Fellaini upfront and go more direct. That being said, he's a stubborn old shit so he might actually stick with his boring "possession based style"

 

If he does the latter, we'll win. The former and it'll be very difficult.

[Kevin D]

Cunt fixture.

[ZonkoVille77]

1 all.

I'm sure Fellaini will be out there, whether they go direct from the beginning, or not. I'm expecting to see Caulker. His brawn and overall physicality will be needed, and it's not as if he never played against them before.

[Hades]

I'm so confident I believe Lallana will score.

[manwiththestick]

Who's the ref?

[Gym Beglin]

 

De Gea to tip a couple of efforts around the post.

[TheHowieLama]

 

Two low-scoring sides.

 

Nil squared.

Dream result

[Joe Strummer]

Who's the ref?

Clattenburg.

[Oh Buoy]

We're going to absolutely belt these. 

 

6 fucking one. 

 

Firmino, Henderson and Milner to have a stormer. 

[stringvest]

I can see a score draw happening.  But if we win I won't be too disappointed.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Two sides carrying injuries and totally inconsistent. It'll either be a goal fest or nil nil.

 

I'd like to be confident of a win, but they've got a world class keeper and we, well, haven't.

 

Whatever happens, it'd be nice to finish a game where a corner wasn't classified as a shooting oportunity for our opposition.

[kop77]

Massive game tomorrow. The more flags, banners,

 

noise - the better. Make it hostile and get behind our

 

own. Every advantage counts.
