United fans to taunt Liverpool

Manchester United fans will taunt their Liverpool counterparts on Sunday by wearing masks of Eric Cantona, in reference to a banner unfurled at Anfield back in 1994 which read: "Au revoir, Cantona and Man United. Come back when you've won 18." United have now won 18 league titles to equal Liverpool’s long standing record and want to rub the Reds’ noses in it. Liverpool have not won a league title since 1990 while their bitter rivals have won a remarkable eleven league titles since then, a statistic that really rankles Liverpool fans all over the world! The two clubs have met in the league 152 times over the last 120 years, with United winning 58 times and Liverpool 51 while 43 games have ended in a draw.
