Man Utd vs Liverpool: 5 Reasons Why It's Unmissable
5. The Return Of Luis Suarez
The biggest story for this game is the return of everyones favourite race baiting, arm biting, headline making Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez. Coming off his long term ban for trying to take a chunk out of Ivanovics arm Suarez is free of his suspension when the derby game rolls around. Suarez managed to stay back page news throughout the summer with a good old fashioned transfer saga; it looked like Suarez would almost certainly be leaving Anfield with Arsenal looking set to land the troublesome striker with a rumoured bid of 40 million. Both Brendan Rodgers and John Henry were steadfast however in saying Suarez was not for sale at any price and this unsurprisingly led to a lot of tension between club and player. Suarez was made to train with the juniors for a while but after his sulking fit he apologized and was welcomed back into the first team fold. So amazingly Suarez stayed past the transfer window and looks to be a Liverpool player for at least another season all of which leads up to the League Cup game where Suarez will once again be under the public eye and in true Suarez fashion he couldnt have picked a more intense rivalry filled game to come back into. Man Utd fans hate Suarez, most Liverpool players are hated in fairness but Suarez has carved out a special kind of hatred with Utd fans who wont forgive him for his behaviour during and post the Evra race scandal the feud may have been buried by the players but football fans have long memories and no matter how full Old Trafford is on Wednesday night most of the boos that night will be aimed at the Liverpool number 7. Not only will Suarez have to deal with that but you sense a few Liverpool fans will be scrutinizing him too, Suarez is an amazing player but the terrible PR he has given Liverpool over the last few season and the fact his suspensions really hurt the team many Liverpool fans must feel they are owed something from Suarez for sticking with him. This is pretty much Suarezs last chance in a red shirt as any more crazy antics and his Anfield career will surely be over.So Wednesday game is massive in Suarezs career as a good performance with no nasty incidents would help a little to rehabilitate his tattered character. Another controversial moment and you feel Suarezs career in English football will come to an abrupt end.
