Today, the Premier League will witness a classic showdown between Liverpool and Manchester United.
Currently, the Merseysiders sit atop the league table under Arne Slot's leadership, boasting a five-point lead over Arsenal and two games in hand. Manchester United, on the other hand, finds itself struggling in 14th place, just seven points clear of the relegation zone.
The history of encounters between these two teams is filled with twists and turns, but Liverpool took the opportunity to reminisce about one of its most legendary victories ahead of the upcoming match.
On March 5, 2023, Liverpool demolished Manchester United with a stunning 7-0 victory.
Of the scorers from that game, only Roberto Firmino has since left the club. In addition to the Brazilian, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Núñez, and Mohamed Salah each netted twice against United.
It's worth noting that both managers from that time have also moved on. Jürgen Klopp was succeeded by Arne Slot at Liverpool, while Ruben Amorim replaced Erik ten Hag at the helm of Manchester United.
The Liverpool vs. Manchester United match is set to take place on Sunday, January 5, at Anfield. Kickoff is scheduled for 17:30 CET.
