Liverpool face Manchester United this afternoon with Andy Robertson set to reach a huge milestone.

Robertson is in line to make his 300th Liverpool appearance at Old Trafford after signing for the Anfield side in 2017.

Robertson will become the club's thirteenth Scot and 64th player overall to hit this milestone.

The defender joined from Hull City for a fee of £8 million and despite having to earn a starting spot ahead of Alberto Moreno in his first couple of months, he has since been a mainstay in Liverpool's backline and has been a huge contributor to recent successes.

The Scotsman has won a Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cup and two Carabao Cups in his seven-year stay on Merseyside.

Liverpool are looking to make it three wins out of three against arch-rivals Manchester United as Arne Slot aims to be the first Reds manager since 1975 (Bob Paisley) to beat the Manchester side in his first game against them.
