Read on for more facts and figures about the Reds’ Anfield clash with United on Sunday (4.30pm GMT kick-off) from club statistician Ged Rea…

If Liverpool avoid defeat in this meeting they will equal their club record of nine successive home league matches unbeaten against United. The nine-game best that currently stands was from 1970 to 1979.

They are looking to record their sixth league double over United in the Premier League era.

In the last eight league encounters home and away, the Reds have scored 26 goals while conceding six.

Liverpool have only conceded one goal in the last nine encounters between the clubs at Anfield in all competitions.

Salah is two goals away from recording 100 for the club in the Premier League at Anfield.

With 15, Salah has scored more goals than any other player in this fixture’s history. Steven Gerrard and United’s George Wall are next on the list with nine apiece.

Luis Diaz has scored four goals in six Liverpool appearances against United.

With the 3-0 victory at Old Trafford four months ago, Arne Slot became the first Reds boss since Bob Paisley in November 1975 to win his first game versus United.

Liverpool have gone 23 matches unbeaten within a single season in all competitions for the first time since May 1989 (24 matches).

Cody Gakpo has scored nine goals in his last 14 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions.

United have conceded 10 league goals away from home in 2024-25. Only Tottenham Hotspur, with nine, have conceded fewer in the top flight.

They have won twice on the road in the league this season, doing so at Southampton (3-0) and Manchester City (2-1).

This is the 216th meeting between the two clubs in all competitions, and the 184th league encounter, with all but four of those coming in the top flight.
