Liverpool icon Didi Hamann believes the stage is set for Joe Cole to lead Manchester United a merry dance tomorrow.
Hamann feels the Reds No.10 will be eager to make a positive impact in one of English football's biggest clashes.
"When you join a new club you always want to play so the suspension will be really frustrating for him," Hamann told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"Fortunately he has been able to play in the Europa League, so he's not been completely out of action.
"But he's back in league action at Manchester United and I think that will be a boost because you always want your best players available when you play at Old Trafford.
"Hopefully he'll be ready and can start making a real mark in a red shirt. He scored for Chelsea there last season, so let's hope he can repeat that for Liverpool this year."
