So the biggest rivalry in the history of English football is happening this weekend. Liverpool take on Man Utd at Anfield. Liverpool are flying right now but Utd have picked up some victories recently and form goes out the window in these games.
So what are your favourite games between the clubs?
The 2009 1-4 at old Trafford has to be one of my favourites
Other great games for me was the 3-3 in 94. Utd went 3 up in the first 20 mins but we came back to with 2 goals from Clough and one from big Razor Ruddock. I was at the game and lost my voice at the end. Probably the most I’ve celebrated a draw in my life
I was at the game at Anfield in 1985 when Jan Molby scored one of the best goals I have ever seen. There was no footage released of this goal until around a decade or so ago. I remember thinking at the time Molby would become the best ever. What a tank. Here’s the goal

One to forget was the 96 cup final at the old Wembley. Paid £90 for a ticket in the Olympic tier and me & a mate got thrown out for being drunk and abusive after Cantona scored.
What’s your favourite & worst games between the clubs?

That's the game that made me a Liverpool fan as a nose leaking youngin.
The 4-1 would be the obvious choice I think.
There used to be so much passion in this fixture but the past few years it's been a scrappy affair. Hopefully there's a show to be watched this Sunday.

There was the 3-0 in 2007 when Nani scored that thunderbolt. That game was total domination for us

Is that the one hypia got sent off early, watched that mess in the pub
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The game Robb is talking about was in 2008. Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-1 the same day. You're thinking of the 4-0 game in 2003.

Was this the game where Liverpool got two players sent off and United got two penalties?

My favourite was Man U 1 Liverpool 2 both scored by Barnes at OT on 1990. Celebrated alot having not beaten them away for a while and the 4-1 away win when Dossena scored the 4th. Worst when beaten 1-0 at Anfield scored by Rooney after a mistake by Dudek. I missed my flight for that when in Hong Kong Airport watched it ipn the business lounge as and then took the next flight in the morning traveling from Japan to Middle East. Other terrible ones when Ferdinand and O'shea scored in last minutes.

Us beating united at anfield 3 - 1 I think.it was when gerrard took the ball from midfield and slammed it in. Barthez no where near it and what made it even funnier was the united fan at the back sticking one figure at the shot when it flew in

As a neutral games I have enjoyed between Liverpool and Man United have been:
March 2009- 4-1 victory for Liverpool at Old Trafford, I think Man U had a 7 point lead with a game in hand so victory for them would have surely been title over, Liverpool got a crucial win coming from behind, I mostly remember Gerrard kissing the camera after scoring his pen.
October 2009- Liverpool were on a bad run of form and beat Man U 2-0, Torres scored and Ngog scored very very late on.
September 2010- Man United 3-2 Liverpool, Man U raced into a 2 goal lead thanks to Berbatov with a brace, Liverpool out of nowhere pulled it back to 2-2, I think Gerrard scored a pen and freekick, then Berbatov scored an unbelievable overhead kick to secure a 3-2 win for Man United.
January 1999- FA cup- (forgot if it was 3rd round or 4th round) Man United 2-1 Liverpool- Liverpool scored early, had a few chance to get the 2nd goal, Man U then scored a late equaliser and then scored in stoppage time to win the game, they went on to win the FA cup and the treble
December 2000- Man United 0-1 Liverpool, Danny Murphy scores a freekick, it was nice for Man U to actually lose a home game in the league and I think Liverpool went something like 5 years without a win against Man United which they put an end to.

Just read through all the comments, for some reason I thought Berbatov overhead kick made it 3-2 but no it was a header that made it 3-2

Sone that come off the top of my head.
1 - 4 at old Trafford. Brilliant to watch as a Liverpool fan. I remember it was the day that I arrived back home after spending 6 months on Australia. I was completely jet lagged and just had a 3 hour drive after getting off the train and my dad said we could go home, or the liverpool game was about to start so could go to the pub.
This was also the middle game of a run of 3 where Vidic got sent off every single time against Liverpool.
3 - 1 in 2011 when Kuyt scored a hat trick. I think the combined distance for his goals was about 5 yards. Suarez was brilliant.
0 - 3 in the nearly year under Rodgers. Gerrard could have scored a hat-trick of penalties at Old Trafford but his third one hit the post. Vidic was sent off for the 4th time against liverpool.
I can't remember the score (other than that we lost) but there was a game in Gerrard's last season where he came on at half time and got sent off within about 45 seconds.

The one where he wiped Mata out then stamped on Herrera, we won 1-2 Mata got them both I think
