As Chelsea and Manchester United continue their battle for English Premier League supremacy, they face stiff tests this weekend.
No test will be more challenging than United welcoming rival Liverpool to Old Trafford, and Paul Merson writes about the match-ups for the leaders ahead.
If Liverpool can stop Manchester United winning the league, their fans won't mind if they don't win another game all season.
The two sets of fans don't like each other and Liverpool don't want United to overtake their record 18 league titles. A win at Old Trafford would mean a lot.
People say Liverpool have found a bit of form, but all they've done is beat a shocking Portsmouth team and I think they should be beating average teams like Lille.
So what do they do now? Do they stick or twist at Old Trafford? If I was Rafa Benitez I would go there and have a go at Manchester United. They should go and try to win the game.
If you have a go at United, you'll get chances. Fulham may have lost 3-0 last week, but they did have chances - and arguably better ones than Man United had. In the end Wayne Rooney was the difference.
But it's a difficult decision because if you gamble too much it could get Lionel. It could be messy and you can end up shipping four or five.
