Tomorrow sees the battle of Manchester United vs. Liverpool
in the FA Cup fourth round match. The venue is Anfield, the home ground of
Liverpool and kickoff is at 12.45.

dominating one in the history of football. The Football Association Challenge
Cup (FA Cup) is the world's oldest football tournament, which dates back to 1871
and is a knockout competition.
Man U vs Liverpool Clash Spurs Betting Frenzy
Therefore, ahead of the Manchester United vs Liverpool FA Cup clash, the
excitement levels are sky high amongst fans of the teams, many of whom are doing
a brisk trade at top UK online betting sites in something of a frenzy.
However, this time the pre-match bantering is not just about football.
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was handed an eight match ban for racially abusing
the Manchester United French captain Patrice Evra in a recent English Premier
League game. His lengthy ban has angered Liverpool fans.
On the other hand, Manchester United Manager Alex Ferguson supported the ban,
but he hoped that both clubs will put this incident behind them and that
football will take over when the teams clash on the field.
As more than five thousand Manchester United fans are expected to travel to
Anfield in Liverpool for tomorrow's game, the Man Utd manager put out a signed
letter urging them to support their team in a "positive, witty and loud" way. He
warned them that future ticket allocations risk being cut if hooliganism ensues.
Liverpool is on a high at the moment, as on Wednesday they drew 2-2 against
Premier League leaders Manchester City in their Carling Cup encounter, securing
a 3-2 win on aggregate. That victory puts them through to the final against
Cardiff City at Wembley Stadium in London.
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish said, "We've got to Wembley. We've not been
there for a while, so I think that in itself is an achievement." Referring to
the Manchester United vs. Liverpool match he added, "We'll enjoy the moment
tonight for a wee while and then get ourselves concentrated on a difficult game
Saturday."
