A victory over the Merseyside club will be crucial for both the Dutchman and United for the upcoming fixtures.

What Managers Say

Roberto Martinez: "His [Rooney] contribution is a bit more than scoring goals. If you want my thoughts, I would prefer it if Wayne Rooney doesn't play. From an opposition point of view, I think Manchester United are a better team when Wayne Rooney plays. He brings a lot more to his performance that just hitting the back of the net."
