[Nerf]

Confirmed #LFC XI to face Manchester United: Jones, Skrtel, Lovren, Johnson, Moreno, Henderson, Allen, Gerrard, Coutinho, Lallana, Sterling.

Confirmed #LFC substitutes: Mignolet, Toure, Lambert, Lucas, Can, Balotelli, Markovic

Brad Jones starts and we're playing without a striker

Livescore has listed James Wilson in the starting line up. Nothing confirmed on the Utd twitter yet, but it suggests Mata isn't playing. Rojo and Evans (possibly Carrick too if we play with 3) at CB.

EDIT: Can ignore that for now. They have Mignolet listed in goal for Liverpool, so it's still predicted line ups only.

EDIT2: Jones instead of Rojo, Mata instead of Herrera, otherwise correct. Wilson starts;

United XI: De Gea, Valencia, Jones, Evans, Young, Carrick, Fellaini, Mata, Rooney, van Persie, Wilson.

[Dynamite]

Mata, Rooney, RVP and Wilson all play. Interesting teams from both sides here.

[Hobo]

Brad Jones is starting. Well that's a thing...

[Lineker]

Should be a laugh.

[Baddar]

Wilson played against Stoke and we didn't really get the ball to him. With Rooney in there with Mata, here's hoping he'll get better service.

Brendan Rodgers on decision to drop Simon Mignolet. "He will benefit from being out of the spotlight."

[Baddar]

Jones will have a worldy and then Rodgers will have played a blinder.

[Whisper]

Wel, this should be entertaining.

Looks like Van Gaal has just gone, "give me all the attackers".

On a separate note.. just seen Kieren Richardson's red card. Are we convinced by that one? Haven't seen much of a replay and it does look a bad one in real time, but it's nothing like as bad as Cahill's/Huddlestone's.

Rojo injured in training, more brilliant news

[Baddar]

He's clearly going for the ball, but his foot is high, and it's dangerous. It's still a red.

[Jimmy]

Hard to say. Watching it, you could see it was coming, as soon as he lost the ball, he was totally out of control. Could've easily have broken something, so I'd rather see red cards for stuff like that and continue to protect players. Might feel differently if it was my team, though, hard to say.

[Ant]

It was a red. No complaints here. More complaints he was starting to be honest.

Brendan Rodgers on decision to drop Simon Mignolet. "He will benefit from being out of the spotlight."

To be fair it worked for Hart when he was taken out of the team last year.

[Whisper]

Well, Fellaini is going to have one of his shite days then.

[9 to 5]

Come on lads, I need a hatful of goals today!

[Jimmy]

Lovely ball from Lallana, should be 1-0.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Beautiful goal.

[Jimmy]

Ha, now it's 1-0 the other way.

[9 to 5]

Thanks Rooney! Now two more at least plz.
