Alright lads, our 25th match of the season is no way a walk in the park. United in their yard is one of those tough ones. I don't recall us winning there after that 4-1 win when even Dosenna got on the score sheet. Suarez is a must starter.

=======Reina

Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique

==Bellamy Gerrard Adam Maxi

=====Carroll Suarez

Things I would like to see in this match: Solid defence as usual and most importantly our midfielders linking up well with our strikers and running into the box whenever there is an opportunity to pounce on a loss ball.

If we loss we may end up 7 points behind 4th spot by the time the weekend ends. Fingered cross we avoid a defeat. A win at this stage of the season would be priceless.

I watched utd away at newcastle and okay they could have just had a 'bad day at the office' but i think utd without vidic are very susceptible to a direct style of play so i think we should play 442 with carroll and kuyt through the middle. with this 11 we would have suarez and bellamy to come on in the later stages and make sure we get the win. Result 2-1 either way. if my incredible tactics are followed 2-1 LFC.

Reina

Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique? (how bad is his hamstring injury?)

Hendo Gerrard Spearing Downing

Kuyt Carroll

Not the most fashionable 11 ever but i think a team that would get the job done.

Kuyt is awful even though he got his 50th league goal. His first touch is abysmal and slows everything down. Suarez running onto carroll's flicks is mouth-watering.

why play maxi? i much rather have downing

I like Maxi because he can link up well with Suarez and he is the only midfielder that I can think of in our squad right now that can get in the damn box!

I would prefer Kelly over Johnson, Downing over Maxi and Jay over Adam. My team then :

Reina
Kelly, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique
Bellars, Gerrard, Spearing, Downing
Carroll, Suarez

kuyt is good in the air and a very good finisher, the best we have by a mile. and TBH i dont trust suarez in this match. he has a short fuse and the utd fans and players will be after him all game and in that type of atmosphere it wouldn't take much more than a miss timed tackle and he would be off. kuyt deffo the safer option. and utd have a weakness that kuyt can exploit more effectively than suarez.

I see what your coming from house regarding Suarez. I think the united fans will have A LOT to say about a Suarez sending off.

Suarez probably wont start, but think Kenny should bring him on early in the 2nd half.

United have not looked great this season, but will be out all guns blazing on Saturday. Key danger men to keep quiet for them is Valencia!

And also Kenny hope you have been watching recently, don't let Giggs cross the freaking ball. He may be an old man, but boy has he still got skill in those boots!

Hopefully Gerrard actually turns up in the game, need a big performance from him (apart from just taking pens)!

MASSIVE GAME! I reckon this is our chance to close in on 4th. ARsenal and Chelsea both have tricky matches.... if we can get a result we are in business!
