      Liverpool's game against Manchester United will be Rafa's 200th Liverpool Premier League game.

      First 100:

      W 56
      D 18
      L 26

      Undefeated: 74%
      Average points per game: 1.86

      Second 99

      W 57
      D 28
      L 14

      Undefeated: 85.8%
      Average points per game: 2.01

      Beating United would be a great way to celebrate his 200th League game in charge.

      Win number 58 will round that off nicely.  Be great to do it against the scum as well.

      Yep. 4-1 if I remember correctly. That was 22 league games ago now. Jesus, feels like yesterday

      F**k me.

      He did his landmark against United last season with a 4-1 victory. What a top way to round off his 100th win!

      And now he's up against another landmark, and again, United.

      Bet on United falling victims of another thrashing to the Rafalution! 8)

      You know what is fate....

      Impressive stats those by the way. 74% and 85.8% undefeated. There's something for the people saying Rafa hasn't improved over time. ;)

       I am sure RAFA will get as much satisfaction as we will when we thrash Man Disunited.I just hope the cameras are on Fergusons face when the ref blows his whistle for full time.RAFA has earned his wages when. you think what he has had to battle at Anfield,Moores,Parry,Hicks and Gillette.Well done RAFA now go and stick it right up Ferguson and make this forum a very happy one.

      Two Hundred Premier League games in charge really is some achievement given the sh*te he's had to put up with. Above all else it shows a level of loyalty that is only usually matched by the fans; for that, i thank him.

      Let's hope the team he sends out against the scum match that commitment and deliver for us.

      Only one manager has done better than him, that was Kenny.  He's at least equalled Sir Bob and he pisses all over Mr Ferguson's record.

      NEWS STORY
      HOW RAFA'S 200 COMPARES TO RIVAL BOSSES
      Jimmy Rice 23 October 2009 
        Rafa Benitez will take charge of his 200th league game for Liverpool on Sunday - and we've unearthed some fascinating statistics comparing the Spaniard's record to rival managers. 
      Benitez has won 113 of his 199 top-flight clashes since taking charge of Liverpool in 2004 - an impressive 56.8 per cent.
       
      This compares favourably to the records of Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger in their first 200 league games.
       
      Ferguson won just 87 from 200 (43.5 per cent) after joining Manchester United in 1986 - and it took the Scot almost seven years to collect a league title.
       
      Wenger triumphed in 110 (55 per cent) of his first 200 league matches following his appointment at Highbury in 1996 - a stat which was good enough at the time to win him a championship trophy in 1997-98.
       
      Meanwhile, just one Liverpool manager from down the years can boast a better record than Benitez.
       
      Kenny Dalglish won 120 of his first 200 (60 per cent) league games.
       
      Bob Paisley totted up 113 victories (56.5 per cent), Bill Shankly 106 (53 per cent) and Gerard Houllier 101 (50.5 per cent).
