Fergie: There'll be fun and games at Anfield with card-happy Riley in charge

Sir Alex Ferguson has spoken of his amazement that referee Mike Riley will be in charge of tomorrow's Merseyside derby.

The manager is still angry with the official after he booked seven of his players in last week's 1-1 draw with Chelsea.

Ferguson believes Riley should have been penalised rather than "rewarded" for the display, saying: 'I looked at the Chelsea game and there wasn't a bad tackle in the match. But he's been rewarded, he's got Everton v Liverpool tomorrow. That will be fun and games!'

United face another physical encounter at home to Bolton tomorrow and Ferguson added: 'We don't have a problem with discipline. We always play good football.'
