Pre Match: Liverpool v Manchester United (EPL 25/10/09 2:00pm)

Beat Manure 7-0, with Pepe score a hit-trick! Not from pen or free kick!

That's the bare minimum I'm accepting.

Any less than that and I'm burning all my shirts.

I've been wanting since morning. About 12 hours since I woke up. I'm in Asia.

And it has been very unbearable... trust me. I can't F***ing do anything.. but think of this.

Same here mate. Waiting since morning. Its starting to get irritating now, cant wait. 

any news on stevie and nando?

From the BBC:

Liverpool's dire injury situation looks to be easing, with Fernando Torres (thigh) hopeful of returning.

Glen Johnson (groin) is also close to a comeback, but Steven Gerrard is struggling with a similar problem.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson claims Wayne Rooney faces an "uphill fight" to be passed fit.

Rooney has missed the last two games with a calf injury. Darren Fletcher (groin) is a doubt, but Ryan Giggs and Patrice Evra return.

Fingers crossed.

We need a Man Utd win today I'm afraid to provoke the uprising

How in the hell can you even think such a thing? beggars belief as far as i'm concerned we need to all be behind our team through thick and thin !!

Minimum should be Johnson starting and Stevie and Nando on bench.

come on reds we are only 3 points off from 4th place. that should be motivation enough.

Come on you Reds, Lucas to score a brace(we can dream, can't we)...

SS1 saying that Nando's starting but Stevie's not fit

Torres & Johnson start, Gerrard out.

The Liverpool XI in full is: Reina, Johnson, Insua, Carragher, Agger, Mascherano, Lucas, Aurelio, Benayoun, Kuyt, Torres. Subs: Cavalieri, Voronin, Babel, Ngog, Spearing, Degen, Skrtel.
