23/3/2008 English Premier League - Manchester United vs Liverpool

This has been a long awaited clash between the two teams as they gear up for this live online radio commentary between Manchester United and Liverpool. Alex Ferguson's team is once again aiming to win the title and must be feeling very close to their objective now, what with Arsenal and Chelsea faltering and never making full use of their few opportunities to close the gap. Considering that Manchester United have not been in the best of form recently in the league, the top of the table should be a lot tighter compared to the few points that they are leading at the moment. Last week's win at Derby perfectly illustrated the resilience and tenacity of the Red Devils and if it were not for those qualities, Ferguson might not have been sitting in the hot seat for this long, nor would there have been so many indisciplines by the players largely ignored by media and management when they should have been punished harshly for it. Teams like Portsmouth will agree to the fact that Manchester United are not invincible, but unfortunately Arsenal and Chelsea have fallen to the illusion this season and will probably end up behind them at the end of the season.

Will Liverpool be another team that will succumb to the Red Devils in this live online radio commentary and TV telecast EPL match between Manchester United and Liverpool? Or can Benitez finally break his jinx against the Red Devils and finally get a league victory against them under his belt. No doubt the Liverpool coach has been a master in cup competitions with another evidence in the FA Cup win against their deadly rivals a few seasons ago. But in the English Premier League it has been one disappointment after another as Liverpool has either been thrashed or got the hard luck loss where they dominate but fail to make their chances count. And it has been Liverpool's story for years - not making their chances count. For a club that once had successful strikers in many of their past sides, it has taken them till this season to find another one that might potentially be their top player in years to come - Fernando Torres. But will this young Spanish sensation be able to put the Red Devils to the sword in this live online radio commentary match between Manchester United and Liverpool live on TV, or will he be another flash in the pan? So far the evidence suggests that Torres is the real thing, having scored against mediocre teams as well as established and strong opponents, but the acid test will be against the team currently dominating the English game, Manchester United.
