3 Draws, 1 Win for Red Devils: A look at the last five Man United vs Liverpool fixtures

Manchester United face a challenging trip to Anfield to take on Liverpool on Sunday.

The hosts enter the clash as firm favourites, but recent history suggests United could pull a rabbit out of their hat.

Here we look at the last five fixtures between the two giants.

It was a tense and cagey affair at Anfield, with Liverpool dominating possession but failing to break down a resilient United backline.

Liverpool fired 34 shots at United, but only eight were on target.

Rasmus Hojlund had the opportunity to win it late for United but he fired his shot straight at goalkeeper Alisson Becker.

The contest ended with some drama as Diogo Dalot picked up back-to-back yellow cards for dissent.

United did well to earn a point after the infamous 7–0 thrashing earlier that year.

Scott McTominay opened the scoring early, but two quickfire goals from Liverpool turned the tie on its head before the break.

Antony struck an 87th-minute equaliser to send the game into extra time, only for Harvey Elliott to restore Liverpool’s lead.

Luis Diaz broke the deadlock with a clever finish, but Bruno Fernandes lifted the roof off Old Trafford with a stunning goal from the halfway line.

Kobbie Mainoo then curled in a sensational strike to put United on the brink of a famous win.

However, controversy struck late on as a soft penalty call allowed Mohamed Salah to equalise, denying United back-to-back league victories over their fiercest rivals.

Erik ten Hag started with a fairly strong side but was tactically outclassed by his compatriot Arne Slot.

Trent Alexander-Arnold thought he had opened the scoring early, only for VAR to rule his effort out.

Casemiro endured a nightmare first half, losing possession twice in dangerous areas, with both leading to Liverpool goals.

The Brazilian was hooked at the interval for youngster Toby Collyer, but the damage was already done as Salah struck again to seal a comfortable win for the visitors.
