Man Utd vs Liverpool: 5 Key Battles That Will Decide The Game

1. Luis Suarez Vs Patrice Evra

Luis Suarez Of course, the biggest talking point from this game is the issue of Luis Suarez. The Uruguayan's 10-match suspension expired when referee Neil Swarbrick blew for full time at Anfield on Saturday and the striker is once more eligible for contention. Suarez is going to factor into the equation at some stage, be it from the first whistle or as a second half substitute, you just know he's going to get a run-out. And that could be bad news for United and their defenders, none more so than Patrice Evra, who, it is fair to say, has just a little bit of history with the ex-Ajax man. Suarez was banned in 2011 for eight games when found guilty of racially abusing Evra and later refused the Frenchman's handshake upon returning to action. Tempers are bound to flare up if both players find themselves on the pitch tonight and this battle could be won by who best controls their emotions. Who do you think will win tonight? Which key battles are you watching out for? Let us know in the comment section, below.
