Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Insua, Lucas, Mascherano, Benayoun, Kuyt, Aurelio, Torres.
Subs: Cavalieri, Voronin, Babel, Ngog, Spearing, Degen, Skrtel.
Man Utd: Van der Sar, O'Shea, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs, Berbatov, Rooney.
Subs: Foster, Neville, Owen, Anderson, Nani, Fabio Da Silva, Jonathan Evans.
Johnson and Torres pass fitness tests as Gaffe Benítez starts with his preferred 4-2-3-1 formation, Aurelio being called into a left-wing role and the in-form Benayoun moved into the Stevie Me role. Mascherano and sidekick (Lucas) take the holding midfield roles. The rest of the squad picks itself. There's no Martin Kelly who started against Lyon - Degen takes his place after being ineligible for Europe.
Manchester United welcome back Rooney from injury, Owen dropping to the bench. Fergie, without Fletcher who would have started today had it not been for injury, start Scholes and Carrick with man-of-the-moment Giggs on the left and the combative Valencia on the right, with Nani on the bench. Liverpool fans' favourite players, Gary Neville and Michael Owen, both start on the bench.

Pre-match banter:
Waiter pre-match tunnel interview: "We are better than people think ... against a good team you never know what can happen ... Gerrard was close to playing, but it was too risky ... with the fans behind us we can do a good job."
Sir Alex Ferguson: "The history is unbelievable ... experience is important in these games ... once I knew that Wayne was going to be fit there was no hesitation in picking my forward pairing ... Michael Owen is great to have on the bench if we need him."

Beachballgate threatens to take over as despite the ban, United fans begin to throw inflatables from the Kop end. Stupid but hilarious.

Foul by Kuyt on Evra, should have been a card
Torres with a bit of a dive on a 'foul' by Vidic, poor ball by Carrick which went right to Torres. Carragher whinging to the ref
Mascherano scores a FG!
The game has a good flow to it so far, been going by quite quickly
Poor by Berbatov to not stay onside there, Valencia would have had a good chance
Poor cross by Giggs, was going for Valencia at the far post but overcooked it
Whoa!!! That was a foul on Giggs in the box going for a ball in the air right at the edge, should have been a penalty
Liverpool have been fouling like mad the past five minutes
