Liverpool take on Manchester United In a clash of heavyweights

Liverpool takes on Manchester United in a clash of heavyweights

Old foes Manchester United face Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday in one of the biggest fixtures in the EPL calendar.

The visitors so far have responded well to one of the toughest fixture lists, which saw them register a 4-1 away win at Swansea and a goalless draw against Chelsea at Old Trafford. The strong start to their title defence will please new manager David Moyes.

On the other hand, Liverpool are one of only two teams, the other one being Tottenham, with a 100 per cent record in the Premier League this season so far, winning all their fixtures 1-0. Liverpool will be hoping to earn three points against United as last season they lost both home and away games to United.
