Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 243
Man Utd wins: 91
Draws: 70
Liverpool wins: 82
The two giants of English football have met on 243 occasions throughout history in competitive games, with Man United leading the head-to-head record with 91 wins to Liverpool's 82, while there have also been 70 draws between the two sides.
The pair met on three occasions during the 2023-24 campaign, with the points being shared in a goalless draw at Anfield in the Premier League, before Man United recorded a 4-3 victory over Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup; the two teams then played out a 2-2 draw in the league at Old Trafford at the start of April.
Liverpool famously beat Man United 7-0 at Anfield during the 2022-23 campaign, but the Red Devils triumphed in the reverse game at Old Trafford, running out 2-1 winners in the early stages of Erik ten Hag's time at the helm.
The 20-time English champions have only won two of their last nine meetings with Liverpool in all competitions, while they have been victorious in just three of their last 15 encounters, which is an indication of their struggles against the Merseyside outfit.
These two teams have locked horns on 65 occasions in the Premier League, with Man United leading the head-to-head record 29 wins to Liverpool's 20, while the remaining 16 fixtures have finished level.
The top three goalscorers in Premier League encounters between the two sides come from Liverpool, with Mohamed Salah on 11, while Steven Gerrard and Robbie Fowler managed eight and six respectively, ahead of Man United's all-time leading goalscorer Wayne Rooney (six).

Liverpool have enjoyed the better of the recent league meetings, triumphing in six of the last 10 match-ups in England's top flight, suffering just one defeat in the process.
Man United have actually only beaten Liverpool once in the Premier League since 2018, and there have been some heavy losses, the famous 7-0, in addition to a 5-0 defeat at Old Trafford in October 2021.
The Red Devils also suffered a 3-0 defeat to Liverpool in the early stages of the 2024-25 campaign, with Luis Diaz scoring twice, while Mohamed Salah also registered, as Arne Slot's side secured all three points at Old Trafford.
Man United are now on a run of four league games without a win over the Reds, while they have conceded 12 times in the process.
The 20-time English champions will be bidding to gain some revenge over the Merseyside team when the two sides lock horns for the corresponding Premier League fixture at Anfield in the early stages of 2025.
