In-form Forlan set to face Reds

Manchester United striker Diego Forlan is expected to start against Liverpool on Sunday at Anfield.

The Uruguayan is in a rich vein of form and scored his fourth goal in four games in the Champions League victory against Rangers.

Cristiano Ronaldo will be hoping to keep his place while John O’Shea and Darren Fletcher are also looking to return to the starting line-up. Paul Scholes (groin), Wes Brown (knee) and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (knee) are again ruled out of the squad.

PROVISIONAL SQUAD: Howard, G Neville, Ferdinand, Silvestre, Fortune, P Neville, Keane, O’Shea, Giggs, van Nistelrooy, Butt, Djemba-Djemba, Carroll, Ronaldo, Bellion, Forlan, Fletcher, Kleberson.
