Match stats
- Manchester United have won just one of their last 12 Premier League games against Liverpool (D6 L5) and are winless in eight since a 2-1 win in March 2018. The Red Devils last had a longer winless league run against an opponent between 1983 and 1987 (10 vs Everton).
- Liverpool are looking to win four consecutive league games against Manchester United for the first time since January 2002, and are looking to win three straight away league games against them for the first time in their history.
- This is the first time Man Utd and Liverpool are facing each other within the first three games of a league campaign since 2013-14, when Liverpool won 1-0 at Anfield on MD3. Meanwhile, this is the first league meeting between the sides in August since 1972 (2-0 win for Liverpool).
- This is the first ever top-flight meeting between Manchester United and Liverpool where both teams are winless coming into the match (excluding any meetings in the first game of the season). Meanwhile, Liverpool haven’t failed to win any of their opening three games in a Premier League campaign since 2012-13.
- Manchester United have lost both of their Premier League matches this season – only three times in their history have the Red Devils lost each of their first three league games in a campaign, doing so in 1930-31, 1972-73 and 1986-87.
- Manchester United have lost each of their last four Premier League games – they’ve not lost five league games in a row since a run of seven between January and March 1972.
- Erik ten Hag could become just the second Manchester United manager to lose each of his first three games in charge of the club in all competitions, after John Chapman in 1921.
- Erik ten Hag will be the fifth different Manchester United manager that Jürgen Klopp has faced in charge of Liverpool. The German will be just the second Liverpool manager in history to face as many as five different Man Utd bosses, after Tom Watson between 1898 and 1915.
- Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has scored eight goals in his last four games against Manchester United in all competitions, netting six of those at Old Trafford, including a hat-trick in this exact fixture last term. Overall, he has nine goals against the Red Devils, and could become the first Liverpool player in history to reach double figures against their rivals.
- Both Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay have been booked in both of Manchester United’s Premier League games so far this season. No Red Devils player has ever been carded in each of their first three Premier League games in a single campaign
