actually if the ball falls to giggs in front of goal, high chance it wouldn't be converted. Giggs just doesn't have the killer instinct in front of goal, dun...

If Liverpool win Arsenal, Man Utd need to beat Portsmouth.

now that Man Utd is out of fa cup, would need to beat Portsmouth in midweek.

All those that didnt play in the everton match would all come back to play. should be a routine win, as it is at Old Trafford.

Hope Arsenal can draw Liverpool at Anfield, but they are tired after saturday’s match against chelsea. Arsenal are also without Gallas and Almunia, worrying signs for Arsenal.

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed Darren Fletcher will return for Manchester United's game against Portsmouth on Wednesday.

Fletcher has missed United's last three matches with a minor injury and was one of several players left behind in Manchester for Sunday's FA Cup semi-final defeat by Everton.

United welcome Pompey to Old Trafford in midweek in the Premier League and Scotland international Fletcher will be back in the squad.

However, Ferguson revealed fellow midfielder Michael Carrick is struggling to shake off a minor complaint in order to take his place in the team.

"We left quite a few players back in Manchester and they'll all be ready for Wednesday," Ferguson told MUTV.

"Darren Fletcher will be fit, for example, but maybe Michael Carrick is the one we'll have to assess a bit more, he could be a close call."

Wayne Rooney will return after Ferguson dismissed reports that the striker had suffered a metatarsal injury in last week's UEFA Champions League win at Porto.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Edwin van der Sar, John O'Shea and Ryan Giggs could also come back into the United starting line-up against Pompey after not being involved at Wembley.

Wes Brown. Out since November but coming back.

While Wednesday's Premier League clash with Portsmouth is likely to come much too soon for Brown given the length of time he has been out of action, Ferguson will waste no time in bringing him back into the first-team fold.

Meanwhile, Ferguson has confirmed Darren Fletcher will be fit when United resume their title challenge, having missed the last two games with a minor hamstring problem.

Good news, Rooney is back for this match.

Ronaldo, Rooney, Carrick, Brown, VDS are back, it should be business as usual, ie 3 points.

Anything other than that is a disaster, if Liverpool were to beat Arsenal tonight.

the two teams not playing each other, so won't affect each other.

both team will be playing arsenal though, so how arsenal perform against either team will be crucial. If Arsenal played weakly against liverpool but strongly against man u, than man U is screwed. same the other way round.

Take away Arshavin from 2 of those 3... That is still quite a good deal...

Aang SG

HiAy3Captain SG

well done arsenal.

I woke up to pee, then switch on tv to watch last few mins of injury time. I can’t believed my eyes when I saw the scoreline at 4-3 to Arsenal. A couple of mins later, Liverpool scored to make it 4-4 and it was trying to win the match by scoring 1 more goal, but there wasnt any time for it.

Damn, I cant believe it when there were no Arsenal defenders defending, all nowhere to be found when they concede the last goal. Damn Liverpool was let off, a defeat will be hard to take for them to carry on the momentum.
