Rafa Benitez has told his players they must entertain their loyal fans by scoring as many goals as they can.
RAFA: I WANT GOALS
RAFA: I WANT GOALS
BOSS: I WANT GRAND SLAM CONFIDENCE
Rafa Benitez believes the confidence Liverpool could gain from the so-called 'grand slam weekend' could be more important than the three points up for grabs.

Liverpool v Man Utd
Anfield
Sunday, 16 December
Kick-off: 1330 GMT
Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso is set to return to the squad after a two month absence with a metatarsal injury.
Defender Steve Finnan is doubtful because of a calf problem while centre-back Daniel Agger remains sidelined with a foot injury.
Sir Alex Ferguson is reporting a clean bill of health, with John O'Shea (abductor strain) the only minor doubt.
Owen Hargreaves has recovered from the calf injury he sustained in the warm-up prior to Saturday's win over Derby.
Liverpool from: Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Hyypia, Riise, Kewell, Gerrard, Mascherano, Benayoun, Alonso, Kuyt, Torres, Aurelio, Babel, Crouch, Finnan, Hobbs, Itandje, Leiva, Voronin, Sissoko.
Manchester United (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Brown, Simpson, Ferdinand, Vidic, Pique, O'Shea, Evra, Ronaldo, Nani, Fletcher, Anderson, Hargreaves, Carrick, Giggs, Rooney, Saha, Tevez.
BIG-MATCH FACTS
Liverpool make their seventh attempt to notch a 50th league victory over Manchester United.
A draw would be enough to see Manchester United climb above Arsenal to the top of the table, ahead of the Gunners' home game with Chelsea which kicks off less than 45 minutes after the final whistle of this game is blown; victory for Liverpool will half their six-point deficit on the Red Devils.
This is the second of three massive fixtures in eight days for the Merseysiders, following Tuesday's decisive 0-4 Champions League win over Marseilles in France, and ahead of Wednesday's Carling Cup quarter-final at Chelsea.
Liverpool suffered a shock loss, away to Reading last Saturday, and are in danger of their first back-to-back defeats in 17 Premier League matches.
Both these clubs are meeting a fellow member of the "big four" for the third time this season, and both are unbeaten: United beat Chelsea 2-0 at home on 23 September and drew 2-2 at Arsenal on 3 November, while Liverpool have drawn both theirs 1-1 at home, to Chelsea on 19 August and to Arsenal on 28 October.
Sir Alex Ferguson has had the better of the exchanges with Rafael Benitez. United have won five and drawn one of the six Premier League matches against Rafa's Reds, although the Merseysiders did knock out United from the FA Cup in February 2006.
Manchester United ended Liverpool's 30-match unbeaten Premier League record at Anfield with a 0-1 victory in this corresponding fixture last March. John O'Shea came off the bench to win a dramatic stoppage time winner, after Paul Scholes was sent off for swinging a punch at Liverpool's Xabi Alonso.
Liverpool have suffered more Premier League defeats to Manchester United than any other club (16), and conceded more Premier League goals against them than to any other side (44).

alamak!!! 1st n last scorer only leh... u too EXCITED is it!!! :bsmilie:
Com'on u REDS!!!!
Yo Gary, u take LFC give me 1 ball?
I eat Stinkapore pools odds, $5. Heeeeeeee. Think the presence of the owners and Rafa's situation will provide a positive effect to the result. It is also about time manure looses BIG time. During Houllier's reign, Liverpool would stuff manure in almost every match, but they had players like Fowler and Owen who coule score. The last 3 seasons, Rafa never had a top striker to get the goals, but Torres will make the difference. If I can still recall correctly, manure were totally outplayed at Anfield in March, and the useless hissy fit was silenced throughout the match. Sunday will be revenge day for Liverpool.
I kar kar predict the actual scorers in sequence mah.
He predicting hat-trick, going for the 5 points :thumbsup:

Sir Alex Ferguson is reporting a clean bill of health, with John O'Shea (abductor strain) the only minor doubt.
Owen Hargreaves has recovered from the calf injury he sustained in the warm-up prior to Saturday's win over Derby.
Liverpool from: Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Hyypia, Riise, Kewell, Gerrard, Mascherano, Benayoun, Alonso, Kuyt, Torres, Aurelio, Babel, Crouch, Finnan, Hobbs, Itandje, Leiva, Voronin, Sissoko.

BIG-MATCH FACTS
Liverpool make their seventh attempt to notch a 50th league victory over Manchester United.
A draw would be enough to see Manchester United climb above Arsenal to the top of the table, ahead of the Gunners' home game with Chelsea which kicks off less than 45 minutes after the final whistle of this game is blown; victory for Liverpool will half their six-point deficit on the Red Devils.
This is the second of three massive fixtures in eight days for the Merseysiders, following Tuesday's decisive 0-4 Champions League win over Marseilles in France, and ahead of Wednesday's Carling Cup quarter-final at Chelsea.
Liverpool suffered a shock loss, away to Reading last Saturday, and are in danger of their first back-to-back defeats in 17 Premier League matches.
Both these clubs are meeting a fellow member of the "big four" for the third time this season, and both are unbeaten: United beat Chelsea 2-0 at home on 23 September and drew 2-2 at Arsenal on 3 November, while Liverpool have drawn both theirs 1-1 at home, to Chelsea on 19 August and to Arsenal on 28 October.
Sir Alex Ferguson has had the better of the exchanges with Rafael Benitez. United have won five and drawn one of the six Premier League matches against Rafa's Reds, although the Merseysiders did knock out United from the FA Cup in February 2006.
Manchester United ended Liverpool's 30-match unbeaten Premier League record at Anfield with a 0-1 victory in this corresponding fixture last March. John O'Shea came off the bench to win a dramatic stoppage time winner, after Paul Scholes was sent off for swinging a punch at Liverpool's Xabi Alonso.
Liverpool have suffered more Premier League defeats to Manchester United than any other club (16), and conceded more Premier League goals against them than to any other side (44).
