Cannot take it for granted... Its not so easy at Anfield... The last 2 times United went there almost lost... One was won by an injury time lucky goal by O'Shea although Pool were the better side in that match and could have won too...
And also Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres will be playing in this match... Torres 24 goals last season... 21 were scored at Anfield... so it tells you how dangerous he is at home...
Honestly, I would be happy even if they come away with a draw...

Rafa Benitez is happy with the "quality" of Liverpool's strikers - and believes Sir Alex Ferguson has paid over the odds for certain players.
Champions United are expected to name new £30million signing Dimitar Berbatov alongside Wayne Rooney in a formidable frontline, but Benitez is not overly concerned.
The Reds boss feels £20million summer acquisition Robbie Keane and record arrival Fernando Torres, who moved to Merseyside in 2007 and is a slight fitness doubt, pose an equally potent threat.
"If you talk about price we cannot match them because their strikers are worth £60million and ours are worth £40m," Benitez told Sky Sports News.
"But, in terms of quality, our strikers are really good."
Ferguson has admitted he was surprised that Benitez paid a high fee to Tottenham for 28-year-old Keane.
But former Valencia chief Benitez believes Ferguson has also spent liberally over recent years and has pointed to the examples of Owen Hargreaves, Nani and Carlos Tevez.
"Maybe he (Ferguson) has to think about how much money United are spending every year on a lot of players," added Benitez.
"The last game that we played against them they had Hargreaves, Nani and Tevez on the bench. We are talking about £70million."
Benitez also feels that Ferguson's criticism could act as added motivation for Keane, who has yet to open his Liverpool account.
"Robbie is a good professional. He wants to score against any team. If he can score tomorrow it would be massive for him and for us," concluded Benitez.

Yup, as what Fergie said:
"It's a normal United-Liverpool game," he said. "It doesn't matter about form and it's a game you cannot predict.
"When Liverpool go on the field, you know you're going to get a committed team. That's never going to change."
The pair had sat out their respective nations' international fixtures
last week amid concerns for their fitness. Torres had suffered a
hamstring injury during the scoreless draw with Aston Villa two weeks
ago, while Gerrard had an operation on his groin midweek.
Both had been deemed as extremely doubtful for this weekend's crunch
clash in Liverpool, but have now offered Rafa Benitez a major boost.
The Liverpool manager is without a league win over United since taking
the reins in 2004, but with his star duo set to feature, his chances
may have increased.
Gerrard and Torres took part in a full training session this morning
(Friday) at the club's Melwood training complex after recovering from
their respective groin and hamstring injuries.
The England midfielder Gerrard was thought to have ruled himself out of
contention for the key fixture, but has been deemed fit. Both are
included in the match squad for tomorrow's game.
Rafa Benitez told the club's official website: "They are both much better. They
came through a full training session this morning. It wasn't a very
hard session, but they will both be in the squad. If they are in the
squad then they can play.
"It's important for us to have these
two players of quality who can change a game. I'm not surprised they
are available because the medical staff have done a good job and the
players have been working really hard with the physios to get fit."
