Liverpool face Manchester United at Anfield in the first match between the so-called 'Big Four' this season.

The News Letter website got rival supporters together to air their views ahead of the mouth-watering tie.

Avid Liverpool fan Ivan Clokey is so high in confidence he didn't batter an eyelid when flanked by not one but two Manchester United supporters.

Facing Ivan in the Big Debate were Red Devils, David Meade and Kyle Livingstone.

Ivan remained optimistic, despite the fact Rafa Benitez has yet to record victory over counterpart Sir Alex Ferguson in the league, and the lingering fitness concerns over Fernando Torres and talisman, Steven Gerrard.

Meanwhile, Kyle reckons big money signing Dimitar Berbatov - who is likely to make his debut - will be a hit at Old Trafford.

All three armchair fans predict wins for their respective teams - something has got to give!

Let battle commence...
