FA Cup third round

Manchester United Vs Liverpool

Venue: Old Trafford 

Date: Sunday, 9 January

Kick-off: 1330 GMT

Sunday would be an important day as two arch rivals Liverpool and Manchester United would clash each other for FA Cup's third round. So, they will try and do everything to stay in this season’s competition. United fell 1-0 to League One side Leeds in the last year FA cup falling badly in the third round and eliminated.

The last time these two sides met in the FA Cup, Peter Crouch settled the affair and later on in the season, the Merseysiders progressed to lift the FA Cup by beating West Ham United on penalties in an enthralling final. In this season Liverpool were pounded 3-2 by United thanks to  Berbatov hatrick.United now are currently in a very strong position, who recently have beaten West Ham 2-1 in order to consolidate their first ranking in the Premier league. Taking this form into go, would like to keep their formability on the go. Dimitar Berbatov would be the main asset for Ferguson as he had total of 14 goals in 12 games , all of them coming in Old Trafford.Liverpool with a extremely bad run in the season would like to get their 2011 start on a high, and get their winning ways back.

Wayne Rooney and Van Der Sar are likeables to get back to the team, as they look pretty much recovered from their injuries and likely to side Manchester United for Sunday's clash.
