Manchester United v Liverpool

Roy Hodgson
Rooney suffered an ankle injury in the New Year’s Day win at West Brom, while Van der Sar has missed two games due to a flu virus.
Ferguson stated he is picking from the same squad he used over the Festive period, which rules out Paul Scholes (groin) and John O’Shea (calf), although new arrival Anders Lindegaard is available to bolster his goalkeeping ranks.
Under-pressure Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson is likely to make changes for the Old Trafford clash between the fierce rivals.
Dirk Kuyt could be recalled having been a substitute at Ewood Park, which would mean Joe Cole or Maxi Rodriguez missing out. Midfielder Raul Meireles, who missed the Blackburn game with an ankle injury, is fit again.
