Liverpool 0-0 Manchester United LIVE: Latest score, news, goals and updates from Anfield
Liverpool vs Manchester United LIVE: Latest scores, news, updates and highlights from Anfield
HT: No great surprise that its goal-less at the interval although Liverpool have been the more dangerous team.
United though fashioned their best move of the half seconds before the break with Mkhitaryan, Lukaku and Martial exchanging passes before Lukaku's shot was parried by Mignolet - his first save - with Moreno clearing before Young could pounce on the rebound.
Needs to be a bit more of that from United and Rashford - despite a knock on international duty - is likely to be introduced before the end.
Brendon: Joel Matip probably in the dressing room still shaking his head at that David De Gea save. Perfect example of a save that's as good as a goal.
Ben: Manchester United are actually so poor without Marouane Fellaini, joke about him all you like he’s vital for them to win games.
Ryan: Ander Herrera is a quality player, but this was the worst half of his entire United career. Needs to sort himself out for 2nd half.

45: Dejan Lovren goes down clutching his face after a collision with Lukaku. I’ll need to see that again. No action taken.
44: Should be 1-0 United. Romelu Lukaku is slipped clean through but his snapshot is palmed away by Mignolet. Crucial stop from the Liverpool keeper.

42: Outstanding - and very much trademark - reaction save by de Gea - outstretched leg to stop Matip's close range effort. Salah should have left the follow-up to Coutinho but he took it off his toes and fired wide.
The game has livened up a bit - and needed to.
A frustrated Lukaku has just upended Gomez but Atkinson has decided a word rather than a caution is enough much to the anger of the Kop.
39: “OFF OFF OFF” the Liverpool fans cry as Romelu Lukaku ploughs through the side off Joe Gomez. The Belgian is clearly growing frustrated and probably should have been booked for that.

38: It's cagey like last season's 0-0 draw - Liverpool are on the front foot but are running up against a well-organised United defence.
It took 25 minutes for United to get the in-form Lukaku in the game. He skipped past Lovren but then over-hit his cross. Matic has just had their first shot, it's well-hit but has swerved just wide.
Salah and Coutinho are buzzing around but United look fairly comfortable at the moment. Given their current situations, a 0-0 would no doubt suit Mourinho more than Klopp.
Remember, Jose has only lost one of his seven Premier League visits to Anfield with Chelsea and United.

Mo Salah knocks the rebound wide but that was quite simply stunning. MOTD worth watching for that alone.
35: I see it took around 30 minutes for Martin Atkinson to be trending on Twitter. That’s roughly 29 minutes longer than Mike Dean’s record… United fans aren’t happy with his performance, but I don’t think he’s done too much wrong.
33: Ooooshhhh! Ashley Young nips behind Alberto Moreno, but the onrushing Nemanja Matic can’t reproduce his Wembley heroics and lashes a half-volley wide.
30: Shots on target: Liverpool 3 - 0 Manchester United. Possession: Liverpool 73 - 27 Manchester United.
29: I can see quite a few people on Twitter saying Jose's bus is parked up already. I’m not sure it’s quite that bad, but United’s attack need to hold the ball up better.
27: Lukaku gets into his first threatening position of the match as he glides past Moreno but his cross is struck far too hard.
25: United living dangerously. Firmino knocks a deep cross back into the area with a helpful deflection off Darmian, but Salah couldn’t adjust his feet quickly enough to direct it goalwards.

His effort was blocked but Liverpool are clicking through the gears. Do you click through gears? No, it’s shift. I’ll launch disciplinary proceedings against myself for that error later.
18: Wijnaldum beats Darmian far too easily before forcing De Gea into a fairly routine stop. It was never going in, but you wouldn’t want to afford Coutinho the same luxury.

15: United will hope Herrera can do as successful a man-marking job on Coutinho as he did on Edin Hazard when Chelsea visited Old Trafford last season.
He's going to have to be careful though. with his first challenge he chopped down the little Brazilian and Martin Atkinson won't stand for too many of those before the book comes out.
United won a couple of early corners but Liverpool have come to life and Matip has just fired the first shot of the game high and wide.
REUTERSAnyway, Joel Matip, who’s the only Liverpool player to have played every minute this season, shoots miles wide with a speculative 25-yard effort.
10: Wijnaldum and Firmino play a neat one-two before the former Newcastle star pokes one straight at David de Gea. Seconds later, Mkhitaryan goes down the other end and squares one for Lukaku, but Lovren flicked it clear.
8: Liverpool seeing more possession, as expected, with Manchester United buckled down in their rigid shape. No chances to speak of but the game’s being played at a frantic pace.
5: It’s a man-marking job for Philippe Coutinho folks. Jose Mourinho has clearly asked Antonio Valencia to stick to the Brazilian like glue. I seem to remember Jose doing the same thing with Herrera and Hazard last year.
3: Talk about a fiery atmosphere. My eardrums are ringing already, and it goes up a notch as Antonio Valencia wins the first corner of the match. Matteo Darmian collects and drags one wide from 25-yards.
