Fergie Welcomes Three Back For Anfield Clash


Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been boosted by the prospect of having three potentially key men back in contention for Saturday lunch-time’s heavyweight collision at Anfield between United and arch-rivals Liverpool.



Manchester United look likely to have Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick fit and available to face Liverpool on Saturday.

Ferdinand missed England's 2-0 victory over Andorra on Saturday because of neck and back injuries, but recovered to play his part in the Three Lions’ resounding 4-1 thrashing of Croatia in Zagreb last night.

Giggs, 34, has been suffering with a hamstring problem for almost a month. He started in United’s August 17th opener against Newcastle, but felt a tightening in his hamstring and was promptly substituted as a precaution to limit any damage.

Carrick suffered an ankle injury in the same 1-1 draw at home to his home-town club Newcastle, and subsequently had to withdraw from the England. But he is now expected to be available.

The trio were all involved in last year's corresponding fixture, which United won 1-0 thanks to a goal by Carlos Tevez.
