Liverpool and Manchester United revive their rivalry on Sunday at the Old Trafford.
Manchester United has been at the top of the league for over a month now and has a chance to continue extending its lead over second place Manchester City. The team is currently on a nine game undefeated streak; they have won eight of those matches. There have been a great deal of questions about the team's defense, but they have no conceded a goal in their last two premier league matches. David De Gea, who is constantly in the rumor mill, has pitched those two shutouts and has looked solid in those two matches. In their last match with Wigan Athletic the team got a brace from Javier Hernandez and Robin Van Persie as they won 4-0. Manchester will be without Wayne Rooney on Sunday, but they should be more than capable of winning the game with their dynamic duo up top.
Eighth place Liverpool is on a two game winning streak and is trying to reverse a tough start to their season. In its last match, the team won 3-0 over Sunderland and featured two goals from Luis Súarez. The controversial forward leads the team with 15 goals and is the key to a Liverpool win. Manchester United's defense has been faulty all season long and a strong performance from Súarez could swing the tide in Liverpool's favor.
Prediction: This will be a tremendous matchup that will feature top play from both clubs. Look for Manchester to find a way, as they have all season long. 4-3 Manchester.
