Liverpool will go back to the top of the Premier League table if they avoid defeat against in-form Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The hosts have not lost a league match since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho in the United dugout following a 3-1 defeat at Anfield in December.

Here, Press Association Sport takes a look at some of the best photos from the league encounters between the two sides down the years.
