However Man U vs Liverpool has always been one game where form goes out the window and 'pride' and 'hate' come into it. United on the other hand have had a mixed season of woeful results and some excellent victories.
Therefore it's all to play for.
When United played against Juve recently Keane played alongside Rio at the heart of United's defence and did it very well, now im not sure what the situation is with Wes Brown, if he returns im sure fergie will re-instate him at the back and Keano back in midfield, However there a few doubts over Silvestre, Scholes and Giggs, so its difficult to predict a line also I don't think he should leave out Phil Neville, he may not be a talented defender but he's great at tackling and has done a great job in midfield this season.
Possible line up:
Barthez
G.Neville
Rio
Keane/Brown
O'Shea
Beckham
Butt
P.Neville/Keane
Veron
Scholes/Solkjaer
Van Nistlerooy
Dangermen: Veron & RVN
The problem I see with this line up is the midfield, with Keane moving to the defence, the midfield is left exposed and with Liverpool having a fairly strong midfield in Gerrad, Murphy and Hamman, Nicky Butt, P.Neville and Veron will have to be on top of their game, I think the emphasis here is if Seba plays well or not, he has been brilliant at times this season and at other times he hasn't.

Liverpool should field the same team that finished the game against Auxerre, which looked much more balanced than recent weeks. Micheal Owen
has been dire beyond belief this season, and I think he should have been replaced with Baros at times, but Houllier has kept his faith with him and he's always dangerous with his ability to run through defences. Im not sure what the goal keeping situation is at Anfield at the moment, if Dudek starts, then he'll want to make ammends for the game against United earlier this season and I think I heard something about Henchoz being a doubt for the game, which will be a blow to Liverpool.
Dudek/Kirkland
Caragher
Henchoz
Hyppia
Traore
Hamman
Gerrad
Murphy
Smicer
Heskey
Owen
Dangermen: Murphy & Owen

Im certainly looking forward to the final even if it is the 'Worthless' a win will mean a trophy, some much needed confidence and taking the mick outta opposition supporters for a few weeks :D
My Prediction: 2-1 United.
Your views please.
I think this game will be very entertaining seeing quite a few goals. Both of the teams will want to win something this season, but I think Liverpool will just knick the win.
I *think* United will win it, but I *hope* that Liverpool do. Let's hope Owen's been useless for 3 months because he's been saving all his goals for tomorrow! :-)
we beat Juventus 3-0 so we should stuff them 5-0!
:D
Great day of sport tomorrow really.
England vs Australia first thing. Then Arsenal Charlton, followed by league cup final and then Juve vs Inter on Eurosport in the evening!
Owen 2
Gary Neville
LIVERPOOL 3 - 1 MAN UTD
Scorers:
Owen x2, Heskey, Van Nistlrooy
