United set for 100th Liverpool game at Anfield

The Reds return from the international break to take on Arne Slot's men on Merseyside, looking for a positive result on the back of the win over Sunderland last time out.

The game brings up the century of contests against Liverpool at their ground, as we seek a 27th win, in terms of the all-time figures. We have played two other matches at the venue, an FA Cup replay success over Stoke City in 1931 and a home victory over Double-winners Arsenal in the 1971/72 season due to a punishment for crowd trouble at Old Trafford.

The first match between the two rivals at Anfield was back in 1895, when Joe Cassidy scored our first goal there, for Newton Heath, but it came in a 7-1 loss.
