The two most successful teams in English soccer will collide at Anfield on Sunday, but the 2024-25 season couldn’t be playing out more contrastingly for Man United and Liverpool.
Arne Slot’s Reds will be looking to stretch their advantage at the top of the standings after winning three on the bounce. Liverpool currently sit six points clear of Arsenal at the summit.
Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim has already mentioned that Man United could be in a relegation scrap. The Red Devils sit just seven points clear of the bottom three, and have been well beaten on their last three outings in the Premier League.

Man United have suffered some humbling defeats at the hands of Liverpool in recent years. Liverpool’s dominance over the Red Devils is mirrored by the fact that they have suffered just one defeat in the last 13 league meetings.
However, United have recorded a win at Anfield in their last eight visits, scoring just one goal across those matches and failing to net in the last five.
