Pre
Match Press Conference Highlights |
Ryan Giggs on the game
There’s a
lot riding on this match, If we win they’ll find it very
difficult to catch us, but if they win then they’ll feel
they’re right back in the race. It’s a massive game for both
teams.
"It's right up there with the other Liverpool games I've
played in," Liverpool have made great progress this season
and have got a lot closer to us than they have been in
recent years."
On Selecting a team
There are no injuries from Wednesday, which is great," Sir
Alex said on Friday. “You worry how you'll come through it
when you follow a big game with another big game. But they
all seem fine.
“The difficult thing I have to do is pick a team, given that
you always want freshness for such important matches.
Liverpool had an extra day’s rest compared to our
two-and-a-half days, so I'll consider my team very
carefully. Hopefully I pick the right one.” |
