Clash of titans: Man United all set for Liverpool clash

Manchester United are all set to face their biggest challenge in the Premier League yet, as they will face Liverpool today (Saturday) at Anfield.

The Res Devils sit second in the table - level on points with leaders Manchester City - after a splendid start to the season, winning six of their seven opening games and scoring 21 goals in the process.

However, the Mourinho’s side is yet to face any tough contenders of the title and Liverpool are one of them.

Klopp’s Liverpool have been thrilling and infuriating in equal measure, with the brilliance of attack club’s being hamstrung by a soft defence to sit seven points off the pace.

Liverpool are winless in six Premier League games against Manchester United (D2 L4), their worst run since an eight-match winless run against the Red Devils between 2004 and 2008.

The host of today’s game have won just one of their last eight matches against Manchester United in all competitions (W1 D3 L4) - winning 2-0 in the Europa League in 2015-16.

Manchester United have kept 17 clean sheets in the Premier League in 2017, three more than any other side.

Jurgen Klopp has lost just one of his seven competitive meetings with Jose Mourinho as a manager (W3 D3 L1).

United’s Lukaku became the second player to score seven goals in his first seven Premier League appearances for Man Utd after Andrew Cole.

No player has scored eight goals in their first eight Premier League appearances for the club.

With the stage being set, let’s see who will come on top today.
