What is going on with Liverpool FC right now? They headed into the October internationals on a real skid, having lost their last three, across all competitions. Maybe the home match with arch-rivals Manchester United arrives at just the right time. Liverpool have had the upper hand in this series lately, especially in the games played at Anfield.
It is not a forgone conclusion though that Liverpool takes points from this one. Regardless of record, both sides always get extremely fired up for this one.
