Man Utd to play Liverpool for 100th time at Anfield

After a 2-0 defeat in the previous season had ended our title dreams, the first Premier League game on Liverpool’s home turf was won 2-1, thanks to goals from Mark Hughes and Brian McClair.

The nineties clashes produced some fabulous entertainment, including another 3-3 draw after we had raced into a three-goal lead, and three more wins, including one that took us to the brink of another league title in 1996/97.

After the turn of the Millennium, three wonderful wins on the spin buoyed every Reds fan. Who can forget Diego Forlan’s double in 2002? John O’Shea’s dramatic late winner five years later also went down in United folklore.

Yet things have been harder of late, with our last victory coming when Wayne Rooney scored his second Anfield matchwinner in 2016, 11 years after the first. 

However, the 2-2 draw last time out, when Lisandro Martinez and Amad found the net, gives cause for optimism after a 0-0 stalemate in our previous visit in December 2023.
