Let's leave conspiracy alone and concentrate on real football. And you will not find anything better than Liverpool and Manchester United battle.
15/10/2011 Liverpool - Man United
Once again, teams will meet after two weeks break, but I wouldn't say players are rested, because most of them were on national duty, playing for their national teams.
Liverpool are fifth in the league, just 6 points behind both Manchester teams and have good chance of reducing the gap till 3 points. Anfield is never easy place to visit, even to Man United, who lost last three visits to Liverpool in the league. The last one was especially tough, when Mancunians were outplayed in all components and lost 1-3, and Dirk Kuyt scored hat-trick.
Captain Steven Gerrard is set to start for Liverpool for the first time since 6 March after his slow recovery from a niggling groin problem.
That means they have a fully-fit squad, with Glen Johnson, Martin Kelly, Daniel Agger and Fabio Aurelio all available.
Man United started championship like volcano, destroying everyone and everything on their way. I wouldn't dare to bet against them few weeks ago, but lately they started to have problem or two. Games against Basel, Stoke and Norwich were different to the superb victories against Arsenal or Tottenham. Games were played without Rooney and tomorrow I don't know which Rooney we will see on the pitch - the one who is running riots or the one who hadn't scored a single goal in 6 visits to Anfield and is ready to receive red card in any situation?
They've also wobbled in too many big away games of late, losing six of their last seven league visits to "big four" rivals.
Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic will be allowed to decide himself if he is ready to return from a calf strain.
Chris Smalling should be fit to play, but Tom Cleverley and Rafael Da Silva are unavailable because of injuries.
I think both teams should be happy with the draw, even the last one came 12 matches ago in the league.
I'll give the edge to Liverpool and take small/medium bet on them.
