Manchester United and Liverpool meet again on Old Trafford, this time for the FA Cup.
The performance of both teams is quiet different this season and while United are enjoying the top spot, Liverpool keeps on sinking lower and lower in the table.
The Red Devils are currently first in the Premier League with 44 points in 20 games, record of W12 D8 L0, remaining the only unbeaten team in the league. United was unbeaten in all competitions until that loss against West Ham for Carling Cup with 0:4.
Liverpool are currently 12 with 25 points in 20 games, record of W7 D4 L9. The team has lost 3 of the last 4 games in Premier League, and while the team was doing well at home and having trouble only away, Liverpool started losing at home as well.

In the direct games for the FA Cup, Liverpool has won only 3 out of 15 games against United, and only one in the last ten games. The last 4 times these two teams met in 1985, 1999, 2006 and 1996 the winner of the game advanced to win the trophy.
Against Liverpool, United has a great success rate on Old Trafford winning 6 and losing none of the last 7 matches here. The performance gap at the moment is a bit crucial between these two teams something we are not used to seeing when it comes to such great names. Obviously Liverpool is in a hole, Roy Hodgson has two weeks to turn the team around(according to the media) and if he fails Liverpool would most likely be looking for a new manager.
As for the outcome of the game, while speculations say that because of their bad shape Liverpool might try hard for this cup to find its way in the Europa league, you can consider the Draw at 3.80 or the away victory at 6.00.
However I am willing to back United on this one, because of their steady performance, still unbeaten statistic, and the bad shape Liverpool seems to be in.
