Liverpool vs Man Utd LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction as Reds go top of the table

Kick off: Jordan Henderson gets the game restarted at Anfield. As it stands the Reds are moving ahead of Manchester City to take the top spot in the Premier League. Can Man Utd upset the flow and get back into the game?

It looks as though Ralf Rangnick is switching it up at half-time. Phil Jones has been hooked and Jadon Sancho comes on for Man Utd.

They’ll change into a back four with Matic sitting in front of the centre-backs just behind Fernandes and Lingard.

Referee Martin Atkinson has a problem with his equipment so the restart is delayed whilst he gets it sorted out.

Mo Salah is only the second player to both score and assist in home and away games against Manchester United in a single Premier League season, after Mesut Ozil in 2015-16.

Luis Diaz and Mo Salah both found the back of the net in the first half to send Liverpool into the break with a comfortable lead.

Fans held a minute’s applause during the Premier League match between Liverpool and Manchester United in support of United striker Cristiano Ronaldo after the tragic death of his baby son.

In a touching moment during the seventh minute of the clash between the fierce rivals at Anfield on Tuesday evening, Liverpool fans led the applause and sung a rousing rendition of club anthem “You’ll Never Walk Alone” out of respect for the United number seven and his family.

Ronaldo had revealed back in October that he and partner Georgina Rodriguez were expecting twins but in a statement on Monday, the pair announced the terrible news that their baby boy had died during birth, but that their daughter had survived.

45+1 mins: Manchester United will be happy to get off the pitch. They’ve barely turned up at all. Liverpool haven’t had anything to worry about and both goals have been brilliant, flowing moves.

If they come out for the second half, they could notch up the scoreline. Man Utd have to come up with a way to put the pressure back on Liverpool. That’s a solution that Ralf Rangnick has to come up with.

45 mins: One minute of added time to play. Liverpool are heading into the break with a very solid advantage after a fine first 45 minutes.

41 mins: Liverpool have had over 75% of possession so far in this game as it approaches half-time. Manchester United are being played off the park. It’s very similar to the game between these teams at Old Trafford where United had no answers for Liverpool.

38 mins: Marcus Rashford tries to make use of Liverpool’s high line after Victor Lindelof punts the ball over the top. He attempts to bring the ball down but can’t control it properly and Alisson is quickly off his line to tidy up for Liverpool.

35 mins: Disallowed goal! Things almost went from bad to worse for Man Utd after a stylish run from Fabinho. He cuts across the front edge of the box from left to right before slotting the ball back across the penalty area to Luis Diaz. He’s got in behind the defence and taps home for his second goal but gets flagged offside in one of the more easier decisions the assistant referee has to make.
