When Manchester United and Liverpool face each other, it is referred to as a North-West derby. It is the most critical sporting event of the year and the most-watched competition, surpassing the El Classico and the UCL final. Both the teams have seen their fair share of win and this makes the match more nail-biting for the fans. Liverpool won 3-1 against United in the last fixture.
