  1. Liverpool 1-0 Man Utd

    United have a free-kick wide left. Chance to get the ball in the mixer.

  2. Liverpool 1-0 Man Utd

    Going to be a tense last few minutes here. The lead is slender and United are looking to perform a smash and grab.

    To all the fans crying out about Solskjaer in this game. We are a young team playing against a dominant Liverpool side which are oozing confidence. Yes it has hurt since the day Fergie left and we expect to be fighting but we can't keep switching managers. He is selecting the players who want to play for the club from the weak selection he has to choose from. Klopp has slowly built over the past few years and we need to keep faith that Solskjaer can do the same. Change needs to happen higher up before it'll happen on the pitch.

    Paul, Clevedon.

  4. SUBSTITUTION

    Liverpool 1-0 Man Utd

    Luke Shaw, who is suffering from cramp, is replaced by Diego Dalot.

  5. Liverpool 1-0 Man Utd

    Roberto Firmino has failed to score in 10 Premier League appearances against Man Utd despite attempting 28 shots across those games, more than any other side he is yet to score against.

    1-0 and both teams are happy. Liverpool with the 3 points, united knowing it could have been worse.

    Ben, Manchester

    Very confusing for me when Daniel James and Greenwood are on the pitch at the same time. Especially because I'm an Evertonian.

    Daniel James Greenwood

  7. Liverpool 1-0 Man Utd

    Surely the ambition for United is a top-four place. To do that they have to add to their squad, which is too thin. This is Manchester United, but not as we know them.

  8. SUBSTITUTION

    Liverpool 1-0 Man Utd

    Divock Origi comes on for Sadio Mane to provide some energy in attack. Fabinho comes on in a more defensive measure, replacing Firmino.

    I would say it is a huge boost for Liverpool to have the Brazilian back. But they've won every game without him.

    Chris Sutton
    Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    In fairness to Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer he has gambled, but can Liverpool exploit that? What we do know is, from what we have seen from Greenwood so far, if he gets an opportunity he will take it.

  10. Liverpool 1-0 Man Utd

    Mata wants the ball. He thinks he has the key to unlock this Liverpool defence. He is given the possession he demands, but then chips his pass a tad too heavy through the box and out of play.

    10 to go.

  11. Liverpool 1-0 Man Utd

    For all of their dominance and all their chances, Liverpool are one moment away from having their lead whipped away. As a reminder, Martial's cross just floats above Greenwood, who was sandwiched between two defenders in the box.

    James O'Sullivan: I don’t think I’ve seen a more 1 sided sport event since, well, 5am when McGreggor won in 40 seconds!

    Suzudan: Can’t believe OGS kept Pereira on for 73 tortuous minutes.

  13. Liverpool 1-0 Man Utd

    So nearly brilliant. Alexander-Arnold's ball into the box is flicked back superbly by Mane but just a fraction behind the charging Firmino. In checking the retrieve the ball, the striker's shooting chance goes.

    I can't believe the amount of stick Ole gets from united fans. He needs time and backing to challenge in 3 or 4 years time, judge him then. Or we will go without a league title longer than the 30 years Liverpool had to wait.

    Ollie, Zurich

    Why can't the Liverpool haters just let them win the league in peace. Not my team but I'm happy to see someone different win it. Isn't that variety what separates the PL from the other European leagues?

  15. SUBSTITUTION

    Liverpool 1-0 Man Utd

    Is this the solution to United's shooting woes? On comes Mason Greenwood for Brandon Williams. Juan Mata also joins the action, replacing Andreas Pereira.

    Ole...get Greenwood on, one chance and it's in the back of the net!

  17. YELLOW CARD

    Liverpool 1-0 Man Utd

    No complaints at all about this. Luke Shaw holds Salah to preventing breaking. A yellow all day long.

    Mark Mason: Frank @ 17:48 We are all waiting for you to tell us how you coach a slug?

    Red Manc: Has anyone else noticed Liverpool do not put the ball on any part of the corner when taking corners

    Ash Williams: Whatever the result I wonder what rubbish Solskjaer is going to come out with. UTD have been lucky. They’ve been battered and are lucky to still be in this.

  19. Liverpool 1-0 Man Utd

    Are we going to see Juan Mata for United soon. Looks like he's getting stripped and ready.

  20. Liverpool 1-0 Man Utd

    More United pressure. This time, Fred can't get his shot away, though. Little signs of tension emerging from the stands.
