Liverpool may not have enough to win the Premier League title this season but they will at least be able to claim some bragging rights over Manchester United.
A resounding 5-0 win over Huddersfield on Friday night saw them equal their great rivals' best ever Premier League return of 91 points.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side set that record back in 1999-2000 as they claimed the second of three successive league titles.
That side was considered one of Ferguson's best, a year after their memorable treble triumph.
The vintage of David Beckham, Dwight Yorke and Paul Scholes claimed the title with four games still to play after victory over Southampton on April 22.
Despite their 13 Premier League titles United only twice surpassed the 90-point mark, reaching 90 in 2008-09 having gone one better in 2000.
But Jurgen Klopp's 2018-19 Liverpool vintage can still go clear of that 91-point mark, having now equalled it with two games left to play.
The Reds face Newcastle and Wolves in their final two Premier League games of the season as they go toe-to-toe with Manchester City for this year's crown.
Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah scored twice during a five-star performance at Anfield after Naby Keita got the ball rolling inside the first 15 seconds.
Liverpool can still reach 97 points with victories in their final two games, which would make that total either the second or third highest points haul in Premier League history.
City are still projected to reach 98 if they take maximum points from their final three games of the campaign against Burnley, Leicester and Brighton.
They go to Turf Moor on Sunday in their bid to regain top spot in the table.

We are the bench mark for the success of EPL teams... Everyone works at beating our records. #ForeverUnited
Lol...[Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh] U don't have past 91 points, so what bench mark do u have in terms of points ?? ( 100 set by City ) [Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh] U don't have invincible ( set by Arsenal ), so what bench mark do u have in terms of unbeaten run ?? [Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh] U don't have most goals scored in EPL ( Set by City ), so what bench mark are u Talking about ?? [Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh] U don't have least goal conceded in a season ( Set by Chelsea ), so what bench mark are u talking about. ?? [Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh] Please when u speak, be wise, Yes u have set records, but saying that United set the benchmark for other EPL Teams, is just ridiculous, cuz other teams have their own records too..... that u don't have....[Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh]

So what if you equals the record!!! The important thing is to win the league - PERIOD!!!! You people are very close BUT however, our noisy neighbours just pip you to the tape!!!! In fact you all thought the trophy is there for you all to lift BUT screwed it up yourselves!!!! Better luck next season and beware you WILL have to deal with 2 Manchester teams - Man C and Man U!!!! πππππππππππππππππππ
lol...they just have to deal with united, cuz, city would be too far above that level by next season πππ And for the record, I don't see unites competing for the title anytime soon, maybe in the next decade [Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh]

vut why is it such a big deal that Liverpool reached 91... City destroyed that with the 100 points which by the way Liverpool still won't reach
Itβs a big deal! Before Man City came on top, there was Man U and Liverpool on the block setting records and breaking them. This is one of these that come up now for review and comment. Yes, Liverpool may not reach the π― mark but will be 2 or 3 highest team to reach those points and the highest for Liverpool. Come next seasons that π― will be reached and broken. Go Liverpool

I am a Utd fan and I hope Liverpool wins it... I donβt want Pep claiming a genius... if he fails to win it back to back then it will show how strong EPL is... He won consecutively in Spain , Germany and I donβt want him doing it in England too

It will be epic to see a new winner to the premier league title after a long time, see how Leicester city gave us warm feelings few years ago, Liverpool will look great with that title, they deserve it, hard work pays, even City knows Liverpool has been epic, last season City had already won by now and runners up United were no where close, let's have that leicester feeling again #YNWA
