Liverpool manager Arne Slot is standing on the brink of history — and it could all come down to Sunday’s clash with Manchester United at Anfield.
The Dutch boss is just one point away from surpassing a record held by one of the club’s most iconic figures, Kenny Dalglish.
If Liverpool manage to avoid defeat this weekend, Slot will reach 100 Premier League points in only 46 matches, beating Dalglish’s long-standing record of 48 games. It’s a milestone that highlights how swiftly the former Feyenoord boss has adapted to life at Anfield.

History waits at Anfield for Liverpool
Liverpool haven’t had an easy run lately, with recent results testing the team’s resilience. But there’s a growing belief that the visit of their oldest rivals could be the perfect chance to reset the rhythm. After all, when Manchester United come to Anfield, sparks — and often goals — tend to fly.
This will be the 217th meeting between the two English giants, and notably, the 100th clash at Anfield. Liverpool have won 48 of those home fixtures, while United have managed 26.
A draw or win this weekend wouldn’t just hand Slot his record — it would also see Liverpool go 10 league games unbeaten at home to United, breaking a run that dates back to the 1970s. That’s a stat Liverpool fans will be keen to sing about if Sunday goes their way.

Can Slot seal it in style?
Recent history certainly favors the Reds. United have scored only three goals in their last nine trips to Anfield, conceding 18 in that same period. Their defensive struggles continue this season, with just one clean sheet in eight matches.
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s attack remains sharp, led by Hugo Ekitike and Mohamed Salah, who have been finding the net consistently. For Slot, though, this match is about more than numbers — it’s about restoring momentum and pride.
If he does it, Arne Slot won’t just make history — he’ll join the ranks of Liverpool’s greats. And doing it against Manchester United? Well, that’s the kind of script every Liverpool manager dreams of.
