Manchester United vs Liverpool: Last 5 Premier League matches

Manchester United to host Liverpool on Sunday, October 20, 2019, in what is expected to be yet another classic North-West derby between the two archrivals. Despite the clubs enjoying contrasting forms, nothing can be taken for granted in a game where form and fortunes tend to matter the least. Old Trafford is likely to be a stern test for Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who is yet to taste victory at the venue. Also, the game should provide a chance for Klopp's United counterpart, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to try and silence his critics. We look at the last five PL clashes between the sides as we await Sunday.
