The lineups are out for today's match between Liverpool and Manchester United, and while there are no huge surprises for the Red Devils, Reds supporters have a couple of pieces of good news. Fabio Aurelio is fit and will start, part of a four man back line, presumably on the left. Also sure to bring a smile to Liverpool fans' faces: Andy Carroll, for the first time since being purchased from Newcastle, dresses, starting on the bench.
Liverpool Vs. Manchester United, Lineups: Aurelio Starts, Carroll Dresses, Fletcher And O’Shea On The Bench
Liverpool, Starting XI: Reina / Johnson Carragher, Skrtel, Aurelio / Maxi, Lucas, Gerrard, Meireles / Kuyt, Suárez
Liverpool, Subs: Gulacsi, Carroll, Cole, Kyrgiakos, Ngog, Spearing, Poulsen
Manchester United fans can never be surprised by Alex Ferguson's near ever-changing selection, but starting Darren Fletcher and John O'Shea on the bench may raise some eyebrows. Ferguson had elected to go with a ball-control team in midfield - starting all of Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Michael Carrick - while Rafael da Silva gets the start at the back. Chris Smalling and Wes Brown will start for Rio Ferdinand (calf) and Nemanja Vidic (suspended) in central defense.
Manchester United, Starting XI: Van der Sar / Rafael da Silva, Smalling, Brown, Evra / Nani, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs / Berbatov. Roony
Manchester United, Subs: Kuszczak, Hernandez, Fabio Da Silva, O’Shea, Fletcher, Obertan, Gibson
