[Teams] Man Utd vs Liverpool: Confirmed Line-ups

Manchester United welcome fierce rivals Liverpool to Old Trafford this afternoon looking to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table.

With Jonny Evans injured, Sir Alex Ferguson has reunited Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand at the back for the game with Danny Welbeck preferred to Javier Hernandez in attack.

New Liverpool signing Daniel Sturridge is on the bench today with Stewart Downing and Raheem Sterling preferred in support of Luis Suarez up top. Italian Fabio Borini is back in the squad after over 3 months out.
