With the Premiership titel already sealed away from Liverpool, they will be playing this game for pride and looking to stave of Chelsea who are hot on their heels and will know that 3 points today will seal second place for them, their highest finish in many years.

The warning is on the cards for  Manchester United, who have yet to face such a stiff test from Liverpool in many years, as much as they have this season. Rafa Benitez will want to approach this game for a thrashing of their opponents to show the aggressiveness that this team has, and that will serve as a warning for the Premiership Champions next season.

Rafa will definitely play a full strength squad led by Gerrard and Torres up front, with Xabi Alonso set to come back after injury, the writing could be on the cards for the Baggies tonight as they attempt to avoid relegation against a formidable opponent.
