Preview: Liverpool v United
http://www.manchesteronline.co.uk/sport/football/manchesterunited/s/174/174352_preview_liverpool_v_united.html
MANCHESTER United will field Kieran Richardson at left-back against
Liverpool on Sunday after Argentinian Gabriel Heinze was ruled out for most
of the season.

Heinze sustained cruciate knee ligament damage in United's Champions League
group match against Villarreal on Wednesday and his absence means Sir Alex
Ferguson will turn to Richardson, who is more familiar with an attacking role.

Already without Roy Keane (hamstring), Gary Neville (thigh), Wes Brown
(thigh), plus long-term casualties Quinton Fortune, Louis Saha and Ole
Gunnar Solskjaer, the United squad is low on numbers and Ferguson will be
forced to use teenagers on the bench.

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is expected to bring captain Steven
Gerrard back into his starting line-up.

Benitez rested Gerrard, Steve Finnan, Djibril Cisse, Stephen Warnock and
Dietmar Hamann to the bench for Tuesday's Champions League win away to Real
Betis, but only Gerrard can expect to go straight back into the first team.

Benitez still has Fernando Morientes out with a hamstring injury, while
Harry Kewell and Neil Mellor are long-term injury victims.

Liverpool (from): Reina, Josemi, Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, Warnock,
Traore, Luis Garcia, Hamann, Gerrard, Xabi Alonso, Sissoko,
Sinama-Pongolle, Crouch, Cisse, Riise, Zenden, Carson.

Manchester United (from): Van der Sar, Howard, O'Shea, Ferdinand,
Silvestre, Richardson, Bardsley, Pique, Scholes, Fletcher, Smith, Giggs,
Ronaldo, Miller, Van Nistelrooy, Rooney, Rossi.

Last season: Liverpool 0 United 1

Key opponent: Steven Gerrard - Liverpool's inspirational skipper will
provide Alan Smith with his toughest test yet

Prediciton: Liverpool 1 United 1
