We are going to end the week with an absolute belter, as Liverpool entertain league leaders Manchester United. Can't even remember the last time Man U were top of the League, but there you go, it's true.

Opta Stats

Liverpool have won their last two home Premier League games against Manchester United, last winning three in a row in March 2011.

Manchester United are winless in their last four Premier League games against Liverpool (D2 L2), their longest run without a win against their rivals since a run of five between March 2000 and January 2002.

Liverpool are winless in three Premier League games (D2 L1), failing to score in their last two. They last went four without a win in February 2017 (a run of five), while they've not failed to score in three consecutive league games since March 2005.

Liverpool lost their first league game of 2021 but haven't started a calendar year with consecutive league defeats since 1993. However, the Reds are unbeaten in 67 home league games (W55 D12), finding the net in each of their last 42 at Anfield.

Manchester United will be top of the table going into a Premier League meeting with Liverpool for the first time since January 2013 under Sir Alex Ferguson, with the Red Devils going on to win the title in that campaign.

Manchester United have won none of their three league games against Liverpool with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as manager (D2 L1) - the only two Red Devils managers to fail to win their first four league games against Liverpool are John Chapman (1921-26) and Tommy Docherty (1973-76).

This will be Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp's 200th Premier League game in charge - he's won 127 of his 199 games so far, with only José Mourinho winning more of his first 200 in the competition's history (137). Klopp is also the 10th manager to reach 200 top-flight games for Liverpool, with the German winning more of his first 200 than any of his predecessors.

Man Utd's Marcus Rashford has scored three goals in his last four Premier League games against Liverpool, with these goals being worth four points to Manchester United. Only Wayne Rooney (6), Andy Cole (4) and Ryan Giggs (4) have scored more Premier League goals against Liverpool for the Red Devils.

So much of Liverpool's recent success has been down to these two - both from Africa, one Egypt, one Senegal. It's been a long road to Liverpool for them both but very worthwhile.
