Tense affair: Man Utd vs Liverpool
The first fixture of the English Premiership round 25 will see the two giants Manchester United and Liverpool clash at Old Trafford.
The two teams are separated by 16 points but the match will be much closer than that after Liverpool knocked out their hosts from the FA Cup.
Their last match at Anfield finished one-all but more than that was the Patrice Evra/Luis Suarez incident that ended with Suarez being suspended for eight matches for racially abusing Evra.
That incident will ensure that this will be a tense affair at Old Trafford.
Man Utd are just two points behind Man City and a win will see them take top position.
A win for Liverpool will see them go fifth and maintain the fight for Champions League football next season.
