Preview: Liverpool vs Man Utd

Liverpool will welcome Man Utd to Anfield, after a week of back chat from Rafa Benitez and Alex Ferguson in the media. Benitez will give Albert Riera his debut, whilst Dimitar Berbatov is likely to play some part.

Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard are both fit for this match, whilst Michael Carrick and Owen Hargreaves too are available for United.
