In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Links to streams via my homepage, the streams should start appearing at about 12.
Suarez starts.
Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Spearing, Henderson, Gerrard, Downing, Kuyt, Suarez

I want us to smash those bastards so badly with all the shite Dalglish came out over the last couple of weeks and Suarez finally being on the OT pitch. But it's going to be a tight affair and they'll be right up for it.
Optimistic prediction: 3-1 to us.
Edit: No Bellamy would be very good, and we are easily good enough to controll their midfield.

6-1 to us.
Not sure about that. I would have thought its the midfield we need to be most worried about. Especially if they have a 3 and we only have 2
Cleverleys back, if he plays they won't get to touch the ball.
It doesn't matter if they have three midfielders, when the two that holds are Spearing/Adam, and Gerrard is moved into an advanced position.
We'll still control the match if Spearing/Adam starts.
Will be 2 out of Carrick Cleverely Scholes and Giggs I presume, that's good enough to control Liverpool, I'd Love to see Ando play.
That's from duncanjenkins twitter?
He usually gets the Liverpool related info spot on
No word on Nani as of yet, i guess he is out of contention.
?
I heard he's back in training but not match fit from somewhere, I'll have a check now.
Yeah, double checked that now. Think Suarez starting was always going to be the case.
Hope Evra absolutely destroys him.
Why no Bellamy? If true.
Hope it doesn't distract from the rest of his game though.
Right to get the ball starting. Lineups?

Sat in the upper east freezing my nuts off, barely able to type this coz my fingers are blue, but couldn't be happier. COME ON, UNITED! GET INTO THE SCOUSE DIRT!!
Bastard! 4-0
#MUFC team: De Gea, Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs, Rooney, Welbeck
Probably be brought on late as fresh legs.
Nani still out injured?
#MUFC team v #LFC : De Gea, Rafael, Evans, Rio, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs, Welbeck, Rooney. Team I seen.
Really think Hernandez needed to start this one.
CONFIRMED MUFC XI:
de Gea
Rafael
Ferdinand
Evans
Evra
Valencia
Carrick
Scholes
Giggs
Rooney
Welbeck
SUBS: Amos, Fabio, Cleverley, Pogba, Park, Berbatov, Hernandez.

Welbeck
I'm guessing the formation. Might be 4-4-2 with Giggs on the left.
Why do we start Scholes and Giggs at the same time?

bench: Amos, Berbatov, Park, Hernandez, Fabio, Cleverley, Pogba
He is effective off the bench, more than Welbeck anyway.
#MUFC bench: Amos, Berbatov, Park, Hernandez, Fabio, Cleverley, Pogba
We need the technique and guile against their bunker. Hernández is good to have on the bench.
Only four defenders for Liverpool? 
No Ashley Young
Really, really not a fan of Giggs and Scholes in midfield together, especially in a midfield 4 against a Liverpool midfield 5.
Not confident today

Good team, great to see Giggs on the wing, probably to help Evra in defence.
After last game I thought Hernandez would start this one, but Welbeck didn't do anything wrong to be dropped, so not a huge surpirse. Especially that he's ready to come off the bench.

Where's Young gone
I am surprised Giggs and Scholes start together. And we are playing a 4-4-2
I thought Park would have been ideal
