The passion is as strong as ever

Manchester United versus Liverpool has always been one of the biggest ties, and rivalries, in English football and despite the rapidly changing fortunes of both teams over the last 12 months, the emphasis placed on Sunday’s match shows nothing has changed.

Supporters wanted a winner and loser and unfortunately Liverpool’s loss to the Red Devils has brought a huge amount of criticism for their squad and even calls for Rodgers to lose his job.

The replay at Anfield next year is sure to be just as strongly contested even if the result makes little difference to where they end up in the table.
