Welcome to Sportstar's live blog of the Premier League clash between Manchester United and Liverpool being played at the Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester, England.
Elanga with beautiful feet! He beats Trent and the Liverpool right back fouls him in a bid to stop him. United wins a freekick. A yellow card for Trent.
Liverpool brings the ball from the right flank with Salah’s dribble. The Egyptian is unable to find a way through. The Reds’ eventually find a way down the right side but Milner is unable to chase the through ball and its a goal kick for United.
Sancho again manages to find Rashford breaking out into a run. Rashford is able to find a shot but the Liverpool defence has all angles covered and blocks the shot.
17’ Manchester United scores! Leads 1-0
Fernandes pin points a pass to Eriksen in the middle of the penalty area but there’s too many Liverpool shirts in the box to allow a shot
10’ United hits the woodwork!
The corner has too much weight and fails to find any United shirt and the attack fizzles out to nothing.
Martinez with the free kick. He goes for power but fails to clear the wall. The ball takes a deflection and goes for a corner.
Another good run by United’s No. 10 and Trent is left chasing. He comes in with a tackle from behind but the referee stops the play for a foul. A chance for United.
Rashford manages to get in behind the defensive line. But, Van Dijk recovers well and blocks the left-footed shot by Rashford. The first real burst of pace by Manchester United.
The game starts at a rapid pace. Liverpool has had more ball possession so far, but they’ve not yet managed a good entry into the final third.
The teams are on the pitch.
We are just minutes away from kick off. Liverpool has never beaten United at Old Trafford on three consecutive visits. Can the Reds pull it off?
MANAGER’S VIEWS
Jurgen Klopp: Dropping Fabinho was a tactical call - We need to see the best lineup. The opposition lineup (without Ronaldo) is still very experienced.
Erik Ten Hag: We have a big squad and we start a team that is best for the match. We will focus on pressing and maintaining a high back line.
