Liverpool have had their ups and downs in this fixture, and with the fierceness of the rivalry, the ups and down are to the extreme. Liverpool's most memorable matches seem to have been away at Old Trafford.
A masterclass from Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres saw the Reds come away as 4-1 victors in 2009, in which the Liverpool captain iconically kissed the camera in front of the home fans. Another brilliant Liverpool performance was again led by Steven Gerrard, but this time with the help of Luis Suarez in 2014, as the away side won 3-0.
This year, Liverpool produced another Old Trafford thrashing of United. An hat-trick from Mohamed Salah help guide the Reds to a 5-0 embarrassment of the Red Devils, forcing the home crowd to leave early.
