It is not Pele 's first visit to the city , the Brazil legend having appeared as a player for Brazil at Everton 's ground Goodison Park in 1966 during the World Cup finals . However , he does not have too many happy memories of Liverpool , having been forced to limp out of the tournament after being given rough treatment by Bulgaria and Portugal . The two sides are both in the hunt for a Champions League spot , and both come into the game in good form , with Liverpool 's last league defeat coming at the hands of United back in December . Juan Mata scored the final goal when the teams last met in December , making it 3-0 to United . David de Gea was in fine form for the clash of the two giants , denying Mario Balotelli on several ocassions . Balotelli has since fallen out of favour at Anfield , and is unlikely to start against United on Sunday .
