Van Persie - Ready! Suarez - Ready! The battle of Old Trafford awaits
The two giants of English football clash this afternoon, as Liverpool travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United in another hotly-anticipated meeting between them.
Yet with Brendan Rodgers' men languishing in eighth place and 21 points off the pace set by the Red Devils at the top of the Premier League, it is not solely the teams that are the focus of events on Sunday, but rather, which of the two sides' free-scoring strikers prevails.
The hosts' Robin van Persie currently leads the way in the goal charts with 16 so far this campaign, yet he is closely followed by Luis Suarez, whose 15 goals have almost single-handedly kept the Merseysiders above water this year...

Nuri Sahin runs back to Borussia Dortmund after Liverpool nightmare
Nuri Sahin had been expected to spend an entire season at Liverpool, on loan from Spanish giants Real Madrid.
But, after a disappointing start and entirely forgettably spell, the Turkey international has cut his Anfield stay short.
Sahin is not bound for Madrid, though. The midfielder is on his way back to his former club Borussia Dortmund, to be reuinited with Jurgen Klopp, who has watched his once star player toil since leaving Germany.

Italy's big guns look to cherry-pick Balotelli
The January transfer window is open, and it appears the clamour for Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli has started in Italy.
Napoli are the latest club to express an interest in the Italy international, with club president Aurelio De Laurentiis dreaming of partnering the forward with Edinson Cavani, who has also welcomed a move for the 22-year-old.
Inter, meanwhile, claim to have first refusal for their former striker, and will exercise the right to bid if Manchester City choose to sell.
AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi may have described Balotelli as a "rotten apple," recently, but there is no shortage of suitors aiming to cherry-pick the Italy international.

Chelsea boo-boys call for Torres to get the chop
Chelsea's Capital One Cup defeat to Swansea brought misery for the fans and also for striker Fernando Torres, who once again failed to score before being substituted.
The Spain international has endured a terrible time in west London since his £50 million move from Liverpool, and was jeered on Wednesday night at Stamford Bridge by his own fans.
To make matters worse, the supporters also called for new signing Demba Ba, who looked a real threat in his brief cameo and could be set to ensure Torres gets the chop from Chelsea's team.

Sturridge stuck in Liverpool time warp
After swapping European champions Chelsea for Liverpool, striker Daniel Sturridge has wasted no time in revealing his delight at joining the Reds.
Despite the fact the Merseysiders have failed to win a league title for over 20 years and finished a lowly eighth last season, Sturridge is convinced he has made the right decision.
"It is the biggest club I have ever played for," he told the club's official website. "In the Premier League, there is no bigger club than Liverpool."

Berlusconi: Balotelli is a rotten apple
AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has rubbished rumours that the club could sign Mario Balotelli, describing the Manchester City forward as a "rotten apple".
It was thought Balotelli could have been brought in to replace the already-departured Pato and Robinho, who was expected to leave the club in the current window, but the 76-year-old has officially ruled it out.

Cristiano Ronaldo remains in Messi's shadow after Ballon d'Or defeat
Lionel Messi made history on Monday night, securing his fourth Ballon d'Or - more than any player has ever managed.
The Argentine's brilliance saw him deservedly crowned the best player in the world, but spare a thought for Cristiano Ronaldo, who was once again pipped to the post by the Barcelona man.
Leading Real Madrid to the Liga title over the Blaugrana was not enough for the Portugal captain, who couldn't even grab more attention with his suit than Messi at the glitzy ceremony in Zurich.
