Super Sunday The Sunday 1pm kick off sees Liverpool host Man Utd at Anfield in the Premiership, with both sides in outstanding form; and Man Utd looking to gain top spot in the Premiership. Man Utd beat Liverpool's 30 match unbeaten record last month, could they get another impressive win here today?
Possibly the most exciting day of Premiership football in the whole calendar sees these two big guns take on each other at Anfield. Both these clubs are meeting a fellow member of the "big four" for the third time this season and both have yet to be beaten.
Spanish superstar Fernando Torres will play his first Liverpool - Man Utd game, and Rafa believes that Torres is ready for the derby.
Liverpool defender Alvaro Arbeloa has warned his teammates that they must keep a close eye on Ronaldo who is in immense form as he continues his great goalscoring streak.
Fergie: our main rival
"We both look upon the other as our main rival. You have to be a man to handle that atmosphere. If you are a lamb, you are dead.
"No matter what position the clubs are in this game is separate from anything.
"It encapsulates everything in British football: the passion, the fervour of the fans, the ability of the players."

Eyefootball Premiership Predictor
Liverpool 1-0 Man Utd
What a game - again. These two count each other as their main rivals, and today will be an epic. It's likely to only need one goal to get the win, but you have to look at Liverpool's outstanding form of late and really fancy them to pick up the three points. And who will be the match winner...?
Goalscorer: Fernando Torres
