United have started this game pretty well. Nothing scintillating, but they've headed off any early momentum Liverpool might have hoped to build.

Andy Robertson is going to have to be very mindful of Daniel James' pace. The little winger almost beats him to the ball down the right before the Liverpool man sticks out a boot to divert the ball away from danger.

Georginio Wijnaldum has taken a boot to face. It has come from Nemanja Matic in midfield and it earns the Man Utd man a yellow card.

Very early days for a combative midfielder to go into the book. One mistimes tackle away from leaving his side in the lurch.

You feel that when they get an opportunity, United have to take it. It's been a positive start for them though.

Trent Alexander-Arnold takes the corner short to fellow full-back Andy Robertson, but his cross is headed away at the near post.

Liverpool's first threatening moment initially fails when Oxlade-Chamberlain over-hits a pass to Mane on the right. But they still win a corner.

Shane O'Neill: Highlight of the season has to be offloading Ashley Young. Stunned we offered him a new contract and more so that he rejected it. A legend in his own mind. So long, farewell, auf wiedersehn, goodbye

Manchester United have a chance to fashion something with a free-kick inside the Liverpool half, but after taking it short, Pereira's delivery is woeful and easily cleared.

James then charges into Liverpool territory but his low cross is cleared by Virgil van Dijk.

Goonerama: Solskjaer wants Shaw to play as a 'defensive winger' doubling up with Williams on the left to stop Alexander-Arnold supplying the ammo for Liverpool's front three. But I don't think he'll succeed.

Ricology: With Young now in Italy, I think @MoSalah will finally break his duck against ManU.

The Liverpool fans launch into the usual chants declaring their status as champions of both Europe and the world. These facts will cut Manchester United deeper than most clubs.

Meanwhile, on the pitch, not a lot has happened yet.

Game on.

Simon Ngugi: going by this weekend's results, I'd place my bet on Man utd. pulling a fast one on Liverpool. Fingers crossed.

Noel Fitzpatrick: Untied's two left backs to double up on Salah, leaving room for Oxlade-Chamberlain to steal in and score the winner! 2-0.

Here we go. The players are out at Anfield. Needless to say, the atmosphere is cracking.

United got their tactics spot on against Liverpool last time but their issue is that, in midfield, they are just not strong enough - the days of them having strong, competitive midfielders are gone.

It is Liverpool who have got a midfield unit now and they also have plenty of options without weakening. Their players know that, if they get in, they have to play well to stay in, otherwise they may not play again for a while.

Prediction: 2-0

There are only two constants in this Manchester United tea this season - David de Gea and Harry Maguire. I think that says everything about the squad Ole has got to choose from.

Liverpool

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on Sky Sports: "In the past it was easier to play this kind of game. The supporters want to see you fighting like crazy. A lot of good players got sent off in this game. But it's about winning the game.

"Our fans know we take each game 100% serious. 100% is the limit so how can it be more serious today?

"In the last game (against United) I didn't see us and I want to see us for 90 minutes."
