Liverpool vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

A Liverpool corner from the left causes carnage in the United box, though Onana and his defenders eventually combine to scramble clear.

The visitors get the ball rolling again for the second period.

After a woeful defensive display against Newcastle, Amorim will surely be pleased with how his United side has defended so far here, restricting Liverpool to just the one shot on target. Slot will want more from his team, though they have accumulated 1.27 xG (expected goals) to the visitors' 0.4 so far.

It's so far, so good for United as they go into the interval away at Liverpool with the scoreline 0-0 at Anfield. The hosts have done most of the pressing, going close through Gakpo and Gravenberch while Mac Allister saw a shot well-saved by Onana. However, United could have taken a surprise lead themselves moments before the interval, though Hojlund was denied by Alisson as we go into half-time goalless.

HALF-TIME: LIVERPOOL 0-0 MANCHESTER UNITED

Diaz weaves into the United box, but he just can't quite get the ball out of his feet to get a shot away and he is eventually crowded out.

There will be two minutes of additional time at the end of this first half.

CHANCE! A huge opportunity for United to take a shock lead goes begging as Hojlund gets in down the left. He bears down on goal before firing, though Alisson does brilliantly to close the angle before making the save.

If United are to come away with anything from this game, it's imperative they make it to the break on level terms. They have just five minutes plus added time to get to the halfway stage at 0-0.

Following their 3-0 win at Old Trafford in the reverse fixture, Slot could become just the second Liverpool manager to do the league double over United in his first season with the club, after George Kay in 1936-37.
