Kenny Dalglish and Sir Alex Ferguson will collide for the third time in 2011
Liverpool can achieve a Premier League first if they beat Manchester United at Anfield on Saturday, as Opta reveal...
Manchester United have posted the best shooting accuracy (54%) and conversion rate (26%) in the Premier League.
David de Gea has made more saves (32) and has a better saves to shots ratio (87%) than any other regular goalkeeper in the Premier League.
There have been five red cards in the last seven Premier League games between Manchester United and Liverpool at Anfield.
Liverpool have won four of their last six Premier League games against Manchester United overall and the last three in a row at Anfield.
Manchester United have never lost four away games in a row against any opponent in Premier League history.
Liverpool haven't won more than three home league games in a row against the Red Devils since the 1970s, when the Merseysiders won seven in a row between 1972 and 1979.
There were hat-tricks scored in both meetings in the Premier League last season; Dimitar Berbatov for Manchester United at Old Trafford and Dirk Kuyt for Liverpool at Anfield.
There have been four penalties awarded in the last five Premier League meetings between Man Utd and Liverpool.
The champions have lost just one of their last 16 Premier League matches since defeat to Liverpool at Anfield last season in March.
Last season's title win meant Manchester United overhauled Liverpool's tally of 18 English league titles, as they secured championship number 19.
