Liverpool v Manchester United!

Two of English football's most fabled and most successful clubs will resume their rivalry for each other on Sunday at Anfield in the first Liverpool v Manchester United game of the year.

Last season United won 2-1 at Anfield thanks to RVP

Both sides have started unbeaten to the season. For Liverpool, it will be the first big test of the season and the first indicator of their credentials for a top 5 spot - realistically, Champions League football next season would be a stupendous achievement with Liverpool sadly well behind their much hated rivals down the canal as a title contender.

David Moyes - already starting to look like Fergie?

For Manchester United, it just continues what David Moyes has already bemoaned as the toughest start for a reigning champion in Premier League history. A 0-0 draw at home to Chelsea hasn't done any harm to United's title challenge this early in the season with the easier fixtures to come but this has and will always be a tricky fixture for United to navigate.

As Everton manager, David Moyes' record against Liverpool isn't particularly that flash with only 3 wins out of 22 league games against the men in red. But with a talented Manchester United side which is keen to give the new gaffer an extended honeymoon, Moyes should chuck aside that record and confidently consider getting only his 4th career win against Liverpool - and a win at Anfield would definitely sweeten his relationship with United fans.

Can Brendan Rodgers win his first game against Manchester United on Sunday?

For Brendan Rodgers, there are still issues to consider. While they've kept two clean sheets in two games, the defence is still gelling in the post-Carragher era although that Capital One Cup game against Notts County shouldn't really count with Liverpool as it featured a second string defence. Thankfully Simon Mignolet appears to have started his Liverpool career on fire and he'll need to be called upon with Manchester United boasting far more quality and firepower than Aston Villa and Stoke combined.

So bring it on - hopefully it'll be a better game than that other big game of the season (Man Utd v Chelsea) which was such a dud.
