Form Ahead of the Game
Manchester United have won just three of their last 19 Premier League games against Liverpool (D9 L7). However, they are looking to complete the league double over the Reds for the first time since 2015-16. Liverpool have won three of their last five away league games against Manchester United (D1 L1), as many as in their previous 18 visits to Old Trafford (D3 L12).
Since Michael Carrick’s first Premier League game in charge this season, Man Utd have won more points than any other side (29). Carrick’s nine wins in 13 matches (D2 L2) are already more than Ruben Amorim won in his 20 games in 2025-26 (W8 D7 L5).
Only in their opening five matches of the season have Liverpool enjoyed a longer winning in the Premier League than their ongoing run of three victories; the Reds have though won only one of their last 12 league games against sides starting the day in the top three (D7 L4).
Key Stats to Consider
- Manchester United have won the third-most home points in the Premier League this season (36).
- Last season, they were 14th in the home table with 24 points.
- The Red Devils have won six of their last seven at Old Trafford, losing the other to Leeds.
- 78.8% of Liverpool’s expected goals total in the Premier League this season has come from open play (43.3), the highest proportion.
Players to Watch
Man Utd captain Bruno Fernandes has 19 Premier League assists this season and is one behind the seasonal record set by Thierry Henry for Arsenal in 2002-03 and Kevin De Bruyne for Man City in 2019-20. He’s created 114 chances this season, 53 more than any other player.
This could be Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah’s last Premier League game against Manchester United. He’s scored more goals against the Red Devils both overall (13) and away from home (7) than any other player in the competition’s history.
Alexander Isak’s next Premier League appearance will be his 100th in the competition, and is looking to score in successive league appearances for Liverpool for the very first time. His only previous Premier League goal against Manchester United came at Old Trafford in a 2-0 victory for Newcastle in December 2024.
A Look Back
Liverpool won this exact fixture 3-0 last season. Victory here would see Arne Slot become the first ever Reds manager to win both of his first two away league games against Manchester United.
