Liverpool will draw back level with Manchester United's record 20 top-flight trophies if they secure an almost inevitable Premier League title this season, but who actually has the bigger honours board?

Sir Alex Ferguson once said his biggest challenge at Man Utd had been "knocking Liverpool off their perch" after their domination of the 1980s - and he made sure his side had taken their mantle by the time of his retirement, the season United lifted their 20th top-flight trophy - which remains an all-time record.

That put them two ahead of the Reds in 2013, but after Jurgen Klopp helped lift the Premier League hoodoo around Anfield seven years later, Arne Slot is now on the verge of drawing Liverpool back level with their old rivals with a 20th league title of their own.
