Carra: duo will rattle Man Utd

Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes that the attacking duo of Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard will be good enough to defeat Manchester United this afternoon in their crucial Premiership clash. The two have formed an extraordinary pairing which has coincided with Liverpool's exceptional form.

"When you put great players together, you get results. Torres and Gerrard are certainly that, they are both very clever on the pitch," said Carragher. "Torres stretches defences and Gerrard gets into the hole behind; Stevie then is able to produce the passes for Fernando to run on to.

"It is not something we work on too much in training, it is just two top players getting together and the combination works."
