David Moyes and Luis Suarez add spice to an old rivalry
David Moyes will come face to face with Luis Suarez again, giving extra spice to a game that never really needs any as Manchester United host Liverpool.
Disgraced striker Suarez returns from a ten-match ban for tomorrows Capital One Cup tie, after he bit Chelseas Branislav Ivanovic late last season.
Moyes accused the Uruguayan of being a diver last term, with the player then responding with a swallow dive celebration in front of the Everton boss after scoring.
And there is generally no love lost between Suarez and United the player was found guilty of racially abusing defender Patrice Evra during the 2011-2012 season, and some months later snubbed the United mans offer of a handshake.
All this is the backdrop to a crucial League Cup match for United, who will be desperate to bounce back from their derby mauling at Manchester City. But United boss David Moyes words ahead of the game this evening offered a conciliatory message.
He [Suarez] is a talented footballer, Moyes said. He is a very good striker and we will need to be on our guard against him. He has been good for Liverpool. Hopefully he is not too good tomorrow.
Changes are anticipated for United, although Robin van Persie is still missing with a groin injury.
Ten members of Moyes squad have not amassed more than 90 minutes action this season, but Moyes is making no promises about their involvement.
I will get to see them all play but that could be in reserve games, practice matches or the first team, the Scot added.
