5 stats to keep in mind when Liverpool take on Manchester United

Manchester United and Liverpool share an intense rivalry. The Northwest derby between the two sides usually attracts quite a lot of neutrals too. The managers, the fans and players seem to take this game a lot more seriously than the others.

The two sides will face off this Saturday in an early kickoff and it's quite a way to resume football after the international break.

Here are five stats to keep in mind when you tune in for the big clash.

#5 Collective silverware won: 126

The hunt for the elusive Premier League for Liverpool

You read that right. Liverpool have 18 league titles, 7 FA Cups, 8 League Cups, 15 Community Shields, 1 Super Cup, 5 European Cups, 3 UEFA Cups and 3 UEFA Super Cups. A total of 60 trophies.

Manchester United have 20 league titles, 21 Community Shields, 3 European Cups, 12 FA Cups, 5 League Cups, 1 UEFA Cup, 1 UEFA Super Cup, 1 Club World Cup and 1 Intercontinental Cup. Manchester United are slightly ahead on 66.

The two sides are Britain's most successful outfits. However, Liverpool haven't yet won the revamped Premier League yet, something that has been itching the fans for quite a long time now.

#4 Liverpool's home form against Manchester United isn't the best in the last 5 games

Liverpool v Manchester United - Premier League- October 2016

Anfield is a ground most teams fear visiting, Manchester United included. That, however, has not stopped them from recorded 3 wins of their last 5 at Anfield in the league. The Red Devils lost 2-1 in David Moyes' only season but have recorded wins after that.

They drew there 0-0 last season, with Mourinho infamously parking the bus against a wasteful Liverpool side.

Although Liverpool managed a win in the Europa League in 2016, the last time they beat United at Anfield was way back in 2013 when Brendan Rodgers was in charge.

#3 Jurgen Klopp has lost only once to Jose Mourinho

'The Normal One' has lost once to 'The Special One'

Jurgen Klopp has lost to a team managed by Jose Mourinho once in seven matches they have faced each other so far.

The only loss came back in April 2013 when Real Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final and failed to overturn their deficit from Signal Iduna Park.

Mourinho is known to be someone always on the lookout to beat his rivals and Saturday could be mouthwatering as two top managers face off once more.

#2 Manchester United have conceded in just one Premier League game this season

6 out of 7 clean sheets for the Man Utd custodian

7 games into the season, it might be too early to be finishing scripts, but the Red Devils have impressed defensively, only conceding twice to Stoke City away from home. They are yet to concede on the road in the league.

Liverpool on the flip side, have let in 12 goals, including five against Manchester City. Their defence looks particularly shaky and with the all-out pressing style of Klopp, Jose's side could sit back and hit them on the counter, something the Portuguese is known for.

#1 Lukaku has scored only once at Anfield in six games

At Anfield with Everton- Romelu Lukaku

Romelu Lukaku, the top scorer for United this season, has found Anfield a difficult place to visit. Despite scoring over 68 Premier League goals for Everton and West Brom, the Belgian has only scored once at Anfield.

The goal came for West Bromwich Albion who enjoyed a 2-0 win against a Liverpool side in 2012/13, a time when the Reds were recovering from two uncertain seasons after Kenny Dalglish was sacked.

Lukaku, who played for the Reds' local rivals Everton, managed no goals for the Toffees at Anfield. That will be something United will desperately hope is going to change when he takes the field on Sunday.
