Man U to face Liverpool in EPL

London: Manchester United is all set to face Liverpool in the English Premier League on Saturday.

In this match, Man U's new star Dimitar Berbatov is set to make his debut.

He was signed from Tottenham for 30.75 million pounds on transfer deadline day.

For Liverpool, Gerrard and Torres have also been declared fit to face United.

Manu's star striker Christiano Ronaldo will miss this game due to his injury.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side have held the upper hand over their north west rivals in recent seasons, winning five and drawing one of their last six league games.

Berbatov says, "It is a big game, it is a big game but, to be honest, there's a lot of games to come after this one, and it'll be very nervous maybe for me, because it's a new team, new players, new city, new atmosphere but, you know, hopefully with the help of my teammates, I can find my place in the team and help the team with my goals."

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez on playing Manchester United says, "Yeah, clearly I want to win against every team but especially against Manchester United because we know what the rivalry means between both clubs, so we will try to do it. I don't see the other manager as a rival in this case, I'm thinking about United as a rival.
