Buy The Moon of Jupiter

The big match previews concentrate, as expected, on Berbatov, but also on Benitez getting flustered.
Daniel Taylor in The Guardian looks forward Berbatov's role in today's game, but also to when Ronaldo is fit again:

The real business starts today when Berbatov is thrown into the bearpit
that is Anfield whenever Manchester United are in town. How Ferguson
plans to accommodate him in the same team as Wayne Rooney and Carlos
Tevez remains to be seen and, in a few weeks, the United manager will
also have to devise a way to shoehorn Cristiano Ronaldo into the side
as well. But if there is one Ferguson quality that should never be
overlooked, it is his bold instinct and sense for the dramatic.

And he quotes Sir Alex on what Berbatov brings to the team:

"If you look at our other strikers, they are all very young," says
Ferguson. "Carlos is the oldest, but he's only 23. So Dimitar gives us
extra experience and composure."

James Ducker in The Times reports on a Sir Alex relaxed before the game:
It has been a common tactic of Sir Alex Ferguson's to engage in
psychological warfare before tussles with his foremost managerial
rivals, but maybe it is a result of the confidence that comes with
having such a superior record over Liverpool in the league of late that
the Manchester United manager cut such a diplomatic figure before
today's match at Anfield.
While Rafael Benítez was busy laying into Ferguson over his perceived
comments about Robbie Keane, the United manager resisted the temptation
to direct barbs in Liverpool's direction

With Jamie Carragher denouncing Liverpool's American owners, Tom
Hicks and George Gillett Jr, another protest against whom will be
staged before kick-off, Ferguson was not short of ammunition, but
instead the United manager resisted. Dare one say it, he was even nice.
Maybe Liverpool fans should start to worry.

“Is the fans' protest against me,” Ferguson joked. It summed up his mood. Relaxed, convivial, not a care in the world.

Unlike Benitez.  Andy Hunter in The Guardian reports that:

Ferguson's suggestion that Liverpool paid over the odds for the
Republic of Ireland captain this summer - "a surprise" was the United
manager's description - drew Benítez into a rare spat with his Old
Trafford counterpart on the eve of their latest emotive confrontation
at Anfield.

The Liverpool manager has long believed Ferguson's spending record is
overlooked compared to his own; likewise his rotation policy.

How insane is that last sentence?  Perhaps it's been "overlooked" because we actually and consistently win things (and I'm not just talking about Carling Cups... or the flukiest Champions League in history...).  And I can't be bothered to check out the facts and figures but Liverpool must consistently outspend us, and the amount of rubbish Benitez buys, well... Benitez is quoted as saying "We cannot spend £60m on two strikers like United", no? s that because you've spent so much on another load of useless midfielders?
