This will not be as easy as some are making out. Keane would I am sure have hilighted three teams that he would wind his players up for Newcastle, Mancs and Us.
He has a lot of history with Liverpool and Keane would like nothing more than leave his mark on Liverpool's early season. I know the 11 on the pitch do the business but the managers influence is huge in games like this. As much as we hate him he is a winner and he is capable of making his team work just that little more depending on the opposition. All that said we are more than good enough to handle whatever Keane puts up, with whatever side Rafa decides to play. Would really like to see Gerrard playing though.
Prediction, Cagey first 30 mins but Torres to score just before half-time. Liverpool on the back foot for the first 10 mins of 2nd half till Torres (again) scores on the break. Crouch scores late on as sub. 0-3.
