Mikið er rætt um komandi baráttu á Old Trafford á sunnudaginn og núna síðast ræðir Rafa um leikinn og Liverpool almennt. Það hefur mikið vatn runnið til sjávar síðan í fyrra þegar Rafa og Liverpool var mikið gagnrýnt í kjölfarið á tapinu í bikarnum gegn Burley. Þá vorum við m.a. 24 stigum á eftir Man Utd og Arsenal! Rafa segir m.a. :

“They are second, we are third. It’s a big game between two clubs with an important rivalry. We are a different side to the one which played at Old Trafford last season and I don’t think it will be the same kind of game as we had at Anfield…”

Fernando Morientes talar einnig um leikinn á sunnudaginn:

“This is a fixture that means so much to our supporters and we the players know that. Looking ahead to Sunday we are very focused on what is a crucial game. If we win we will go second in the table but it’ll be difficult because Manchester United are a very good team with some very good individual players in their squad. Given the circumstance, with two games in hand, a draw would not represent a bad result but we will be going out there to try to win and play attacking football in the process…”
