Absent: Ashley Young hasn't played in Manchester United colours for a month

Manchester United winger Ashley Young will miss Sunday's trip to Liverpool after being ruled out for a further two to three weeks with knee cartilage trouble.

Wayne Rooney will also be absent due to a gashed thigh despite reports he was due to make an earlier-than-expected comeback.

Darren Fletcher, who came on as a substitute in the Champions League win over Galatasaray in midweek having recovered from a chronic bowel condition, is not being considered for a return to the starting line-up with Sir Alex Ferguson instead pin-pointing next Wednesday's Capital One Cup clash with Newcastle.

Hoping for the call: Liverpool's Jonjo Shelvey impressed in Europe

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers will bring back all his big names for Sunday's visit of Manchester United.

Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez, Glen Johnson, Martin Skrtel, Daniel Agger, Joe Allen and Martin Kelly were all rested for Thursday night's 5-3 Europa League win at Young Boys but will return as the Reds go looking for their first Barclays Premier League victory of the season.

Forwards Fabio Borini and Raheem Sterling, substitutes in Switzerland, are likely to start while midfielder Jonjo Shelvey pressed his claims for inclusion with a two-goal second-half cameo.

Provisional squad: Reina, Kelly, Agger, Skrtel, Johnson, Gerrard, Allen, Shelvey, Suarez , Borini, Sterling, Jones, Carragher, Coates, Enrique, Henderson, Sahin, Downing, Assaidi.

this game should been a draw...

Ashley young has passed his diving skills to valencia... gratz...

Rock^Star SG

Valencia was actually pushed by Johnson. Steve McMahon kept saying that the ref was having a hell of a game but that's just his biased view. Some of these ex-players don't really know how the game has changed.

Jacky Woo SG

evra played like shit. fergie better buy a good left back next season.

zocoss SG

Yup, it may have looked soft but it was a penalty all right. Johnson came back in a rush and desperate when he saw Valencia's right foot was about to hit the ball. As for Valencia, he was moving forward and had only his left leg on the ground when Johnson pushed him in the waist...

Anyway, lucky for Evans, that foul could have ended his season.

Seeing red: Liverpool's Jonjo Shelvey was sent off for his foul on Jonny Evans

then suarez should get a pen as well?

zocoss SG

No. I thought the referee got that one spot on. I am not even sure if evans touched him, need to see the replay again. It looks to me Suarez got to the ball just as Evans did, Suarez just slightly earlier and Evans's foot reached the ball from Suarez's left side and stop it from moving forward which Suarez tried to move it towards then he just threw himself over the ball with hands up looking for a penalty.

Let's be realistic, if suarez is a known diver and when a referee isn't fully sure, he won't give it as it will only make him look foolish.

Suarez need to changed his diving habits. I dare say there is not one honest liverpool fans who dare says he don't dived.

Medicated Oil SG

Suarez should moved out of BPL.

As long as he is playing, no referee will offer him any protection against defenders for tackling him.

Whether it is one leg or two leg, the red card is already given and Liverpool have to decide whether they want to apeal for the three match ban.

Liverpool will be at the bottom of the table with the injuries on Borini, Agger and Kelly.

Maybe it is a blessing in disguise as Ah Rod would have to use his youth squad now.

Jacky Woo SG

knn why MU played like f..........its liverpool who made them look like this.............MU simply cant cope with football sides ie possession football like RM and Barcelona.

but liverpool. despite having lots of possession, but chances are few and far between, plus they cant keep relying on Gerrard to bail them out.
