Manchester United and Liverpool are playing at Old Trafford for the English Premier League match on Sunday and the game will be streaming online from the NBC Sports Live Extra website at 9:30 pm ET and the Reds come in looking to stay near the top of the EPL table standings and David Moyes, Wayne Rooney and Robin Van Persie will be looking to get Man U back on track.
Manchester United comes in after a 3-0 victory against West Brom and that came on the road and now they have the chance to make up for their disappointing season with some strong play at the end of the year. Man U may be out of contention for the Premier League title, but they could make things interesting at the end and they have matchups with Manchester City and Everton as well as Aston Villa. The team has four of the next five matches at home at Old Trafford and one of those is in the Champions League and that will be a tough test as they try to make a comeback.
After playing against Liverpool the team has a home matchup with Olympiakos in their second leg match in the Champions League last 16 and that will be hard to come back, as they are down 2-0 after losing a few weeks ago. The club is in danger of missing qualifying for the Champions League and they will need some strong play to get back into contention and that starts now and another loss will put them in very tough position on the league table. The Reds haven't won at Old Trafford since back in 2009 and they are in decent position to get into the title mix for the first time in two decades and they finish the season with matches against Everton, Norwich City, Sunderland, Hull City and Southampton and that ends the season on the road after three straight matches at home at Old Trafford.
Van Persie and Rooney are leading the team this season in scoring with 11 goals each and they are also the top two in assists and the club needs strong play from the duo for any chance to get back into things in the top five. Luis Suarez continued to lead the league in scoring with 24 goals and Liverpool has been one of the highest scoring teams in the league all year, with Daniel Sturridge second with 18 goals and Steven Gerrard is next with eight goals. Suarez is tops in assists and Rooney has said that he has established himself as one of the best players in the world with the way he has performed this season and the Reds come in after an away win against Southampton.
Liverpool heads into the back stretch in fine position and Chelsea remains in the top part of the league table despite their loss against Aston Villa and that came after a late goal from Fabian Delph and he scored at the 82nd minute and now Chelsea will try to recover next time out. Manchester City won early against Hull and now Manchester United and Liverpool play, while Tottenham hosts Arsenal in the late matchup. Liverpool finishes the season against Newcastle and they also have a matchup against Chelsea at the Anfield as well as with Manchester City and Tottenham and those matchups will be crucial to staying in the top part of the league table.
