Manchester United Vs. Liverpool, 2012 Premier League: Reds Not In Great League Form
Liverpool beat and drew Manchester City in the two legs of their Carling Cup semifinal tie to book a trip to Wembley and beat Manchester United in the FA Cup in an 18 day span last month. Those are three very impressive results in a short period and nobody is taking anything away from their play in cups, but take a glance at their league form.
