02/10/2012 - Manchester, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - English Premier League play resumes this weekend with the latest installment of one of the country's fiercest rivalries.
Manchester United and Liverpool meet at Old Trafford on Saturday, and while the result could have major implications in the league table, bragging rights on the line.
The storied clubs have met twice at Anfield so far this season, once in the league and once in the FA Cup, and there has been no shortage of controversy and drama in the 180 minutes played.
In the first meeting this season, United rallied behind a late goal from Javier Hernandez to save face and earn a point in a 1-1 draw in Premier League play.
The result was overshadowed by the events that transpired in the following weeks, as Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was handed an eight-match ban and a hefty fine for racially abusing United's Patrice Evra.
Evra was the subject of a chorus of "boos" during the FA Cup tie at Anfield in January, a match that saw Dirk Kuyt steal a dramatic 2-1 win for Liverpool with a goal in the 88th minute.
With the intense nature of the rivalry, players and supporters alike will be on edge. But Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish hope that this clash will be remembered for the play on the field as opposed to its surrounding plot points.
"Everyone involved, including the media, the supporters and both teams have a responsibility to ensure this weekend is remembered as a cracking game of football between two very good sides, rather than for anything else," said Dalglish.
Manchester United is coming off of a 3-3 draw at Chelsea that will certainly feel like two points dropped, but battling back to claim a point after surrendering a three-goal lead is much more of a moral victory for the Red Devils. United sits second in the table with 55 points, two points behind Manchester City.
Dalglish's men sit seventh in the table on 39 points. A win would momentarily send the Reds level with fifth-place Newcastle United, while a draw would see the Merseysiders go level with Arsenal for sixth place.
Newcastle and Arsenal take the pitch later in the day Saturday and will have a chance to extend their lead over Liverpool should the Reds lose at Old Trafford.
The Magpies face a stern test at White Hart Lane against Tottenham with Spurs looking to put a dent in Newcastle's aspirations of a top-four finish.
The Gunners are also zeroing in on a spot in the top four. Arsene Wenger's men hope to inch closer to their goal by picking up three points at the Stadium of Light against a surging Sunderland side that has won three straight.
Despite taking only three points from its last three Premier League games, Chelsea is unbeaten in its last five matches. The Blues, clinging to fourth place with 43 points, will head to Goodison Park on Saturday to face Everton, which is unbeaten in its last four league games.
Elsewhere on Saturday, Swansea City hosts Norwich City and Fulham welcomes Stoke City, while two relegation six-pointers will take place as Blackburn hosts QPR at Ewood Park and Bolton welcomes Wigan to the Reebok.
Premier League play rounds out on Sunday as Wolverhampton hosts West Bromwich at the Molineux and Manchester City heads to Villa Park to face Aston Villa.

“You play to win the game!”
Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.
The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.
The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.
Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?
Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.
Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.
Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.
Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.
The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.
Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.
Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.
This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.
First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”
The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason.
Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
