The Reds head to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon looking to maintain their perfect start to the 2024-25 campaign.


Liverpool have lost just one of their last six Premier League away games against Man United, while only Manchester City (nine) have won away at Old Trafford more often than the Reds (seven).


Liverpool have won both of their Premier League games 2-0 this season. Twice before have they won each of their first three in a campaign without conceding, doing so in 2013-14 and 2018-19.


No team has had more shots than Arne Slot's men in the Premier League this season (37), with Liverpool also having the highest expected goals total (5.3) and the lowest expected goals against total (1) so far.


Slot and Erik ten Hag met four times during their time in the Eredivisie. Slot's AZ Alkmaar beat Ten Hag's Ajax twice in 2019-20 before Ten Hag beat Slot's Feyenoord side on two occasions in 2021-22.


With six goals to his name, Mohamed Salah is the highest-scoring visiting player to Old Trafford in Premier League history.


Salah has had a hand in 18 goals across his last 11 appearances against Man United in all competitions (14 goals, four assists).


The Egyptian has netted in four consecutive Premier League away meetings with the Red Devils.


This will be Virgil van Dijk's 200th Premier League outing for Liverpool. He's been on the winning side in 139 of his 199 so far, already the most wins any player has picked up in their first 200 for the club in the competition.


Liverpool have lost just one of their last 20 Premier League games in the month of September.


The Reds have been defeated in just two of their last 16 top-flight away games played on a Sunday.


Arnold pre-match interview:


What will you need to do to leave Old Trafford with three points on Sunday?


Arnold:Execute the game plan that the manager gives to us and also follow what we've been doing so far – which is being a hard team to beat, win our duels, win our battles, win our one-v-ones, pick up second balls and then control the game and dominate. As well as being ready for a tough, tough fight in a game like this. In games like this I always think form goes out the window, it's more about who wants to win more. As long as we go there with the mentality and the commitment and ready to fight and want to win more and show that on the pitch then we're confident we can go there and get the three points.
