What They're Saying
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal (via the Daily Mail): "When you have injuries, you cannot solve the problem otherwise. Do we have to buy players? No. We have more than enough."
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers (via the Mirror): "It's an important game, it always is. It's a massive game on the fixture list. We had a standout performance [last time] and we want to repeat that."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: The future of Raheem Sterling in Liverpool remains a question mark, but the 20-year-old remains an integral part of the club. Heavily relied upon, the 20-year-old has three goals and four assists in 15 league appearances.
