- 90'+5'That's all for now though, goodbye!
- 90'+5'The result sends Liverpool 16 points clear at the top as their unbeaten march to the title continues. As for United; they remain in fifth and will rue a missed opportunity to take advantage of both Chelsea and Leicester falling to defeats above them.
- 90'+5'FULL TIME: Liverpool 2-0 Manchester United
- 90'+4'Salah is shown a yellow card for removing his shirt in the celebrations.
- 90'+3'Salah may have had the freedom of the pitch to run through there, but the goal still required Alisson to cleverly hammer a quick drop-kick over the top to the attacker!
- 90'+3'SALAH WRAPS IT UP! 2-0! United throw everyone - apart from De Gea - up for the corner, allowing Liverpool to quickly clear it away to Salah who holds off the recovering run of James before sliding a smart finish underneath De Gea and into the net!
- 90'+2'James scampers towards the byline where Henderson meets him to concede a corner. However, the delivery is too deep and Liverpool clear again.
- 90'+1'Three minutes of stoppage time are added on as Manchester United continue to launch cross after cross into the Liverpool box.
- 90'Fred hits in a threatening cross that Van Dijk heads behind for a corner, before the Dutch defender then rises highest yet again to clear the next set-piece.
- 89'Lallana clumsily drags Mata down a few yards outside the box, presenting United with another opportunity to whip a delivery in.
- 88'Mata swings another set-piece into the Liverpool area but the hosts comfortably clear again.
- 87'Dalot comes on for Shaw who was playing with the added nerves of a man on a yellow card.
- 85'After a strong spell earlier in the half, United have struggled to create any chances: they're looking like they're increasingly out of ideas at the moment.
- 83'Firmino makes way for Origi as the hosts look for an injection of energy up top.
- 83'Mane is replaced by Fabinho as Liverpool look to tighten up their lead.
- 81'Mata swings in a dangerous corner for the away side, but Van Dijk is there to firmly head it away from harm.
- 80'Both teams looks as though they could conjure up a goal as the game approaches a thrilling final 10 minutes.
- 76'Liverpool push forward down the right where Alexander-Arnold whips in a powerful cross that Mane exquisitely flicks towards the back post for Firmino, but the attacker can't quite engineer the room for a shot and United clear.
- 74'Greenwood comes on for the more defensive Williams as United clearly go in search of an equaliser.
- 74'Pereira is replaced by Mata in attack.
- 72'Shaw is booked for hauling Salah over after the attacker had skipped past him down the right flank.
- 70'Salah scampers past Matic before being tripped by the midfielder, earning Liverpool a free-kick. The hosts will take that as a much need breather after United have steadily increased the pressure over the last 10 minutes.
- 68'Fred storms forward again before hitting a swerving effort from distance that Alisson just about manages to palm away for a corner! However, the resulting set-piece is played along the ground and the hosts manage to scramble it clear.
- 66'Oxlade-Chamberlain is replaced by Lallana in midfield for Liverpool.
- 61'The away side will be buoyed immensely by those two chances though. They've had to defend bravely amidst wave after wave of Liverpool pressure in this half, but the game is just showing signs of turning into more of an end-to-end affair suddenly.
- 56'Firmino shimmies past Lindelof near the byline before hammering a dangerous shot at goal that Maguire bravely blocks away from danger.
- 53'Oxlade-Chamberlain lashes a fierce low drive at goal from distance that De Gea does well to claim without spilling.
- 52'Liverpool are producing an electric spell of pressure here! All United can do is hope to cling onto the one-goal deficit right now and try and search for an equaliser later on.
- 46'Liverpool get the second half underway.
- 45'+2'To get back into this, United will need to throw more men forward at some stage though; you wouldn't be surprised if Greenwood was quickly introduced in the second period if the score remains the same.
- 45'+2'HALF TIME: Liverpool 1-0 Manchester United
- 44'Pereira lets fly from distance but his powerful effort is comfortably by Alisson.
- 43'Manchester United probe on the edge of the area again, but the move stalls as James and Fred crash into each other allowing Gomez to clear.
- 39'Martial cuts inside and fires a tame shot wide from 25 yards.
- 33'Salah and Mane combine sharply on the edge of the area, allowing the latter to drive into the box. However, just as it looks as though Mane might squeeze through on goal, Maguire steps in expertly to take it away from the attacker.
- 31'United look a little shocked after this spell of pressure from the hosts and they attempt to slow the game down with a period of patient, unthreatening possession.
- 25'De Gea is booked for furiously remonstrating with the referee.
- 23'Liverpool have all the momentum now and they race forward again as Firmino releases Andy Robertson down the left flank, but Wan-Bissaka dispossesses him with a perfectly measured slide challenge.
- 18'Alexander-Arnold hits in another dangerous free-kick that United scramble away for a corner, before the away side finally manage to clear their lines from the next delivery.
- 16'Well, Man Utd had set up cautiously to begin this game and the last thing they needed was to concede a simple early goal to disrupt their plans. You'd expect them to try and settle the game down now, before committing more men forward in search of an equaliser later on.
- 14'Liverpool had hardly threatened United before that corner, but all it took to get the opening goal was an enticing delivery from Alexander-Arnold and the aerial prowess of Van Dijk to finish it off!
- 14'The hosts force another corner through Oxlade-Chamberlain as they look to build the pressure on United.
- 14'LIVERPOOL TAKE THE LEAD! 1-0! Alexander-Arnold whips in the resulting corner towards the six-yard box where Van Dijk rises highest to power a towering header beyond a motionless De Gea!
- 10'Pereira receives the ball in a pocket of space in the Liverpool half, before playing a delightful first-time flick through to James and momentarily it looks as though the attacker might be in behind again! However, Andy Robertson recovers superbly once more to slide in and dispossess James.
- 9'Alexander-Arnold swings in a devilish delivery from the resulting set-piece, which drifts all the way to Mane who glances a header a couple of yards wide of the far post.
- 8'Matic is booked after catching Wijnaldum with a high foot.
- 7'Liverpool win their first corner of the game and they work it short, before the away side clear the eventual delivery back towards the centre-circle.
- 5'This has been a bright start from United! They push forward again with Matic who incisively slips James in behind the Liverpool defence, however Andy Robertson does well to scamper back and block his cross away from harm.
- 4'The away side manage to win a free-kick in a dangerous area after Mane trips James. Pereira eventually swings in the delivery, but it's under-hit and Liverpool are able to clear it back into the United half.
- 2'United win a throw-in deep inside the Liverpool half after a poor clearance from Alisson, but the hosts press them away from goal and they're forced to rebuild from the back with De Gea.

- 0'Manchester United arrive in somewhat more inconsistent fashion, as they look for another three points to push towards a top-four spot.

- 0'Hello and welcome to live commentary of this Premier League fixture between Liverpool and Manchester United. The hosts enter this one with a seemingly unassailable lead at the top of the table and with imperious recent form to match; they’ve won 12 league games in a row, and in fact, the last time they even dropped points was in the return fixture against today’s opponents.
