Manchester United Vs. Liverpool, 2012 Premier League: Lineups

Manchester United vs. Liverpool is always a huge match, and although Liverpool are perhaps not what they once were, they've made up for the lack of footballing drama with... well, extracurriculars. Luis Suarez, just back from an eight-game suspension after racially abusing Patrice Evra in the reverse fixture at Anfield, is likely to get an unfriendly reaction from the crowd at Old Trafford, and that's going to be at least 178% of the media's focus today. The match? Pfft.

Manchester United starting lineup (4-4-1-1): David de Gea; Patrice Evra, Jonny Evans, Rio Ferdinand, Rafael da Silva; Ryan Giggs, Michael Carrick, Paul Scholes, Antonio Valencia; Wayne Rooney; Danny Welbeck.

Substitutes from: Dimitar Berbatov, Park Ji-Sung, Javier Hernandez, Fabio da Silva, Tom Cleverley, Ben Amos, Paul Pogba.

Liverpool starting lineup (4-5-1): Pepe Reina; Jose Enrique, Daniel Agger, Martin Skrtel, Glen Johnson; Stewart Downing, Jordan Henderson, Steven Gerrard, Jay Spearing, Dirk Kuyt; Luis Suarez.

Substitutes from: Andy Carroll, Jamie Carragher, Charlie Adam, Doni, Jonjo Shelvey, Martin Kelly, Craig Bellamy.
