If you live in Europe or anywhere east of there, good afternoon! If you live in North or South America, good holy crap it is way too early to you as well! Liverpool takes on Manchester United in the Northwest Derby starting at 12:45 pm local time, 7:45 am ET, and both teams have their lineups out. Steven Gerrard returns for Liverpool, replacing Andy Carroll as Kenny Dalglish switches up his formation a bit. Alex Ferguson has decided not to include Wayne Rooney or Nemanja Vidic in his starting XI because he is weird. He also appears to have moved Phil Jones into midfield.
