Liverpool vs Manchester United Match Previews

With four successive defeats in all competitions, Liverpool are enduring their worst run for 22 years. A fifth reverse in a row would be their worst sequence since 1953.

United have the chance to open a 10-point gap on the side who pushed them closest in last season's title race.

Liverpool beat Manchester United home and away in the league last season and will be looking for a similarly inspired performance. A Wes Brown own-goal and a Ryan Babel strike handed Liverpool the Anfield victory after Carlos Tevez had given United an early lead.

United will be in confident mood after they maintained their 100 per cent record in Europe this season with a 1-0 win over CSKA Moscow.
