Last season, Liverpool stormed to the Premier League title under new boss Arne Slot, while Manchester United stumbled to a disappointing 15th-place finish, their worst-ever in the Premier League era.

United lost at home 3-0 and pulled off a 2-2 draw at Anfield last season.

This term, under new manager Ruben Amorim, United will aim for a reset, but expectations are tempered.

Liverpool, now bolstered by high-profile signings like Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong, will look to dominate again.

But form often goes out the window in this rivalry.

There have been 206 competitive meetings between the two sides, with United winning 80 times, Liverpool 67 and 59 matches ending in draws (via TransferMarkt).

As always, the fixture promises passion, high stakes and unforgettable moments, a clash no fan wants to miss.
