After getting the first three of six straight home points, United entertain Blackburn Rovers on Saturday tea-time hopping for another three points to apply even more pressure on the rest of the title hopefuls. As if going 5 points ahead on Wednesday night is not bad enough for Liverpool, United will go a mammoth 8 points ahead of their bitter rivals if they beat Sam Allardyce's me on Saturday evening.
Despite the fact that we are playing home, I feel we'll be made to earn our result tomorrow. Blackburn may be in the relegation zone but Big Sam's sides have never been easy to beat.
Many a Liverpool fans have this anticipation of a United blip any time soon so nothing will be sweeter than extending our lead over them so as to create a security for ourselves if that blip ever comes round.
Sir Alex has confirmed that Wayne Rooney will start tomorrow after a mid week cameo role. O'Shea is doubtful so Rafael or Brown will play at right back. The rest of the tea picks itself. Hopefully Giggs will also get to play as he'll give us that extra bit of creativity that we need.
Hopefully, Sir Alex will play his strongest side without paying attention to the game on Tuesday. That should only come in mind if the game is won by half time as it was on Wednesday.
Over to you lads! Oh! and I was glad to hear that Neville has signed a new contract. Way to go Captain!
