Liverpool vs Manchester United LIVE!

Liverpool missed out on reclaiming top spot in the Premier League as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Manchester United at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday -- ending their perfect home record this season. Jurgen Klopp's side had been knocked out of first place by Arsenal earlier on Sunday and would have recaptured a place at the summit with a win but lacked their usual goal threat.

A United side shorn of confidence after a miserable week held on grimly for their point although they have now scored just once in their last eight visits to Liverpool. The closest the hosts came to scoring was a Trent Alexander-Arnold shot that grazed the post, while Rasmus Hojlund had United's best opportunity.

The visitors finished with 10 men after Diogo Dalot was sent off in stoppage time for two yellow cards - both for dissent. Second-placed Liverpool have 38 points from 17 games with leaders Arsenal on 39, while United are seventh with 28.

Second half

17:33 , Alex Young

46min: No changes.

17:31 , Alex Young

Does Klopp or Ten Hag make changes at half-time. Probably not, but United could do with an out ball at least.

17:24 , Alex Young

Liverpool with more of the ball but neither team has done much with it.The only remarkable aspect of the first half is how little noise 57,000 people have made inside Anfield.

Half-time!

42min: Signs of life as Salah tests Onana from the edge of the area. Simple save down to his left.

16:52 , Alex Young

Only 20 minutes gone!

16:50 , Alex Young

19min: Another corner, this time at Alexander-Arnold to head back at goal, which is cleared by Evans.

16:49 , Alex Young

18min: Diaz is targeting Onana at these corners. The delivery is sent in which Varane clears as far as Salah to have a go, which deflects wide.

16:47 , Alex Young

16min: So close to the opener as Salah and Diaz try to poke the ball home from inside the area but Onana does enough to put them off. Not sure he knew exactly what he was doing, but it worked.

16:44 , Alex Young

Kick-off

16:31 , Alex Young

1min: Here we go!

16:26 , Alex Young

The teams are in the tunnel.

If Liverpool need another good omen...

16:23 , Alex Young

Liverpool have just made history by beating Manchester United for the first time in the Women's Super League, winning 2-1.

When Ella Toone scored for United in the third minute, Liverpool looked to be heading for a rough afternoon.

But United's Millie Turner scored an own goal and Taylor Hinds netted for Liverpool, who lost 6-0 to United less than a year ago but set themselves a goal for this season of breaking into the WSL's top four.

16:21 , Alex Young

Klopp just told Sky Sports that "[Liverpool] have to play an extremely good game, because if not then United will be there."

Ain't that the truth.

Kick-off is fast approaching.

Ten Hag to Sky Sports

16:06 , Alex Young

On McTominay as captain: "I think he's the example for what it means to wear the badge and play for Manchester United. He will be the example of passion and desire, and others can build on that."

On team news: "We have a squad, so everyone knows our principles and rules. Then you have to pick a team, look at the opponent, but the most important thing is how we are.

"The game against Bayern, [Shaw] had some problems before at half-time and we had to take him out at that point because it would have been a risk and in this moments, you don't want that because we were battling to stay in Europe, but we had to do it [take him off] because the risk was too high.

"But he's now recovered from it. He can play today and hopefully, the coming games because we need him."

16:04 , Alex Young

Liverpool drop to third in the league after wins for Arsenal and Aston Villa, the latter coming from behind to win late on.

Another win today will take them back on top though.

15:48 , Alex Young

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp makes nine changes from the loss in the Europa League. The big-hitters returns, including Salah and Nunez.

It's two changes from Manchester United, as Evans and Mainoo come in. Shaw is fit to keep his place but Rashford is only fit enough for the bench. McTominay is captain.

Omens, omens and omens

15:06 , Alex Young

Liverpool won this fixture last season 7-0.

They won this fixture the season before 4-0.

They have scored 17 goals in their last four games against Manchester United.

Manchester United have not scored at Anfield in over five years.

Ten Hag on Liverpool

14:58 , Alex Young

"They are playing good, no doubt. But we have had some tough games in the last period, as Bayern is also a very tough team.

"We have seen that we can go head-to-head with them and that is our challenge for Sunday as well."

He added: "We will put out a team who can challenge, who is confident to win that game.

"We are preparing the team in the best way we can. We are confident we can put out a team who can win there."

Klopp on Manchester United

14:44 , Alex Young

"I never like when the headlines about United are not great before we play because it's like 'OK, then it is the game where they can put everything right'.

"The more bad things people say about them, the stronger they will show up. That is always the case. I don't like that.

"I don't follow United closely enough to know exactly what the problem is there but I saw Erik ten Hag was manager of the month last month and saw they were the team in form in the last month so how can it be all wrong? I just don't understand it.

"The situation with Man United - and don't get me wrong - it's just not important for us as we just prepare for our team.

"I try to understand the situation of the opponent before a game, I really do, because I think it is important to know why they are motivated and want to put things right and sometimes I tell the players (his opinions) and sometimes I don't tell the players."

Klopp opted to give the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Alisson Becker a rest and leave them at home for their loss to Union Saint-Gilloise in a Europa League dead-rubber on Thursday night.

Salah is looking to score his 201st Liverpool goal.

Those players will return but Alexis Mac Allister is out with a cut knee, and Andy Robertson, Thiago Alcantara and Diogo Jota are also ruled out.
