Liverpool face an unenviable trip down the East Lancs Road when they take on Manchester United in the third round of the FA Cup.
Old Trafford holds few happy memories for the Reds, who were downed in the fourth round of the competition back in January 1999, when Dwight Yorke and Ole Gunnar Solksjaer combined in the dying minutes to snatch a famous victory at the 'Theatre of Dreams'.
FA Cup third round draw in full:
Burnley v Port Vale
Coventry v Crystal Palace
Bristol City v Sheffield Wednesday
Fulham v Peterborough
Doncaster v Wolves
Brighton or FC United of Manchester v Portsmouth
Huddersfield v Dover Athletic
Crawley Town or Swindon v Derby
West Ham v Barnsley
Reading v West Brom
Arsenal v Leeds
Sheffield Utd v Aston Villa
Leicester v Man City
Bolton v York
Liverpool to be silenced by Red Devils.
I cannot see how they can overcome the devils with the limited firepower and spirit displayed last night.
Torres body language when leaving the field is obvious.
He is getting more and more sick of playing with Liverpool.
liverpool to play their hearts out and beat man utd then lose the next fixture at home, probably to wolves or some other relegation bound team
Seriously, they have lost their heart now.
I dun feel or see them beating Man Utd even if they scored the 1st goal.
They have too many slackers in the squad.
Where was Ngog last night ???

Unlucky to be drawn against a premier league team so early in the round.
Liverpool could look at this match in 2 ways.
1.Lose and continue losing.
2.Win and ride the momentuem.
Ain't rocket science to know which to choose for them right?
They'll have to work their cut.
Don't be crazy to think Liverpool can beat MU at Old Trafford .
No way ....considering Man Utd has always wanted to remain on top by January .
Once they on top , they would plot for the Double which they are capable of .

So Liverpool ready to take on Man U on jan 8, 2011? We will know in due time.
man united may not play its full team in the fa cup. they may field second stringers like Kuszak, Evans, Brown, OShea etc.
Just look at last season's second stringer and get knocked out by Leeds in the 3rd round.
true that.. but hodgson doesn't field its full strength for cups too..
the likes of spearing, wilson and pacheco. and what? eccelston too!
Pool shld go for FA as more or less feasible option. I'm not sure bout the UEFA cup.
BPL title quite on the hard side as going into top 4 alone is not a easy task wif Bolton & Spurs up there.....
