Man Utd have star quartet primed for Liverpool trip
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson hopes to have four mainstays available for Sunday's massive game at Liverpool.
Wayne Rooney, Patrice Evra, Ryan Giggs and Darren Fletcher missed Manchester United's trip to Moscow.
But if under-pressure Kop boss Benitez is hoping they will be absentees for this weekend's Anfield clash, he has another thing coming.
United chief Fergie said: "We are hoping we get the main players fit because it's a big game. Evra will be fit for Sunday. He's just had a little problem with his heel. I'm hoping Rooney, Giggs and Fletcher will be fit."
Rooney, nursing a calf injury from England duty last week, will be a late call for the Kop showdown.
But Ryan Giggs should shake off a slight cold while Darren Fletcher has responded well to treatment on a groin problem.
If the quartet all return, they could help to put an end to Liverpool's title bid having lost four games already.

I love manutd d best club dat i no.
after so many losses in a row ... i doubt Liverpool will even trouble MU even if they had to travel to Mars and back before the game. lolz.
Giggs should be ready, thats good. and they will need Rooney more than the other 2. again ... i question the smartness of Rafa to buy an injured player to replace Alonso.
