Manchester United is coming off an embarrassing 4-1 loss to Manchester City, which pushed United's record to three wins, one draw and two losses, BBC reports. United's dismal start under new manager David Moyes makes winning on Wednesday even more important.
"It has been a difficult period but I think we have done OK," Moyes said, via IB Times. "With the exception of the last game I have been pretty pleased with how we have played.
"If there is a reaction people should be expecting it. There were always going to be days like this and there might be more days like this. I hope not, but there will be because that is football. Football does that to you.
"If people thought this was going to be easy and smooth after Sir Alex, I don't think that was ever going to be the case. It was always going to be tough following such a great manager with a great team.
"I think people with real football knowledge will know there are probably some changes to be made. It is not going to be made in one fell swoop. It is going to be done in time. That is why the Manchester United board realised the job that needed to be done needed to be a long-term one, not a short-term one."
Liverpool is also coming off of a loss after a poor performance against Southampton. The squad should receive a boost on offense with the return of Luis Suarez to the lineup.
"I have no doubt that, having been out, Luis will be even hungrier but his commitment and fight for the cause will still be the same," Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers told BBC.
Projected Lineups (via IB Times):
Manchester United: Lindegaard; Fabio, Smalling, Evans, Buttner; Fellaini, Cleverley; Nani, Rooney, Kagawa; Hernandez.
Liverpool: Jones; Wisdom, Toure, Skrtel, Enrique; Gerrard, Lucas; Aspas, Suarez, Moses; Sturridge.
