One of the most iconic and historic Premier League fixtures, Liverpool versus Manchester United guarantees drama, high-octane action and unforgettable moments.

Although Liverpool have had the better of Man Utd in recent seasons, history tells us there is little to separate both teams at Anfield, with the Reds and United each winning on 12 occasions.

If there is one thing that is guaranteed in this fixture is that there will be goals. Liverpool enjoyed an incredible 7-0 triumph last season while United enjoyed a 3-1 success on their way to winning the title in 1996/97. There was also a six-goal thriller in 1994, where Liverpool came from three goals down to rescue a point.
