Although not essential mathematically to win the game, as we have two games in hand (and even when we beat Everton we finished 5th), it will be important mentally.
When we played them last season, (the time at Anfield, not the time they injured Gerrard for 3 months), Roy Keane gave Gerrard a football lesson and showed him he was still the best in the prem. Well now times have changed Keane's no longer here and I think it’s fair to say Gerrard is the Best midfielder in the Prem.
I’m unsure whether or not Rafa will allow Gerrard back in to Central Midfield or he will have to continue down the right. I think either position we will benefit, terrorising O’Shea, Fletcher or Smith in the middle would be my preferred choice. But if Patrice Evra starts, then Gerrard on the right he could easily turn him inside out, Evra clearly hasn’t the fitness or found the pace of the Prem.
Times have changed, whatever goes up must come down, and Man Utd are in Decline and Desperation.
