Liverpool fans and Man United fans are not exactly bezzie mates. That much you know.
However, for Liverpool fans in particular, the last 25 years of the fiercest rivalry in English football has not been easy to endure. Sir Alex Ferguson and his perch-knocking, Gary Neville, the record for league titles disappearing…
After decades of having the upper hand, the change in fortunes was hard for Anfield regulars to stomach.
However, there is now a feeling at Liverpool that the tide might once again be turning; that the Jurgen Klopp revolution might be about to see them go into another era of domination over 'that lot' from down the M62
That's exactly why the massive Monday Night Football clash at Anfield has got so many Reds' fans excited.
And it's also exactly why we think they are going to be REALLY excited about these five facts
Liverpool run further than any other top-flight team - United run the least
Liverpool have covered the most ground in the Premier League this season (815km), while Man United have covered the least (736km).
To repeat, Liverpool have the best 'distance covered' stats… and United have the worst.
Sure that will go down well with any Red Devils fan this week.
Liverpool are currently creating a LOT more chances than United
In just seven Premier League games this season, Liverpool have already created a massive 112 chances. That's six more than Chelsea and Tottenham, and seven more than Man City… and they have all played one game more.
Most importantly (this week, anyway), it is TWENTY EIGHT more chances than Man United have created.
So, that's another table that sees Liverpool top… and United in ninth.
You're welcome, Klopp-ites.
United's squad cost TWICE as much as Liverpool's
Yep, Liverpool's squad cost £310million to put together… less than half the £628million United spent on theirs.
Of course, some United fans may take pride in the fact their club has splashed the cash to this degree…
Klopp's record vs Mourinho
Jurgen Klopp has lost just one of his five meetings with Jose Mourinho.
He's not just squeaked out draws against him, either. He's won three, drawn one, lost one.
Which means The Special One isn't quite so special when he comes up against the big German.
Liverpool are officially England's most important team
Yes, Euro 2016 saw Liverpool overtake Man United to become leading provider of England players at major tournaments.
