Head-to-head – Man U vs Liverpool
- Manchester United have won just one of the past 10 Premier League meetings, though six of those games have been drawn.
- Liverpool won 4-2 at Old Trafford in May and are vying to claim back-to-back league victories away to United for the first time since 2002.
- The Merseysiders are unbeaten in their last 25 top-flight fixtures against teams with ‘United’ in their name – one short of the record in English league football, set by Brentford between October 1998 and November 2000.
Manchester United
- Manchester United have conceded in each of their last 12 league and cup home matches, their longest run without an Old Trafford clean sheet since a 13-game sequence ending in February 1964.

Liverpool
- Liverpool have scored three or more goals in eight consecutive away games in all competitions, netting 28 goals in total.

- Mohamed Salah, who has scored in each of his side’s last six league matches, registered three goals in two appearances at Old Trafford last season – no Liverpool player has ever scored in three consecutive away games against Manchester United.
