Liverpool‘s unforgettable 2020
The pressure is firmly on Liverpool, though, who are mired in an uncharacteristic slump and slipped to a dire 1-0 defeat by Burnley earlier this week. The club’s refusal to sign a new centre-back is beginning to severely hinder their attacking prowess, with the champions failing to score in any of their last four league games. That run of results has left the Reds six points adrift of United in the title race and questions are starting to be raised over how Jurgen Klopp can rejuvenate his side’s fortunes. Victory today would surely provide a perfect jolt and a date with West Ham awaits the winner. Follow all the action live below:

The ball is fired into Cavani, who goes to ground under a challenge from Fabinho right on the edge of the box. Liverpool aren’t happy, but United will have a free kick very much in shooting range…

Half a chance for Salah again as a deflected Firmino pass drops to his feet. He tries to squeeze a low shot past Henderson at the near post but the goalkeeper reads it and makes a comfortable save.

Pogba sets off an a foray down the right flank, making his way from his own half to the Liverpool box before sending a cross straight into the hands of Alisson. The United midfielder howls in frustration.

Neat interplay from Liverpool again as Salah and Firmino link up. The latter has a shot blocked, before Thiago sends an effort of his own flying into the stand.

Fernandes miscues a cross and it almost catches out Alisson, who moves towards where he expected the ball to go. It drops safely over the bar, though.

Salah lifts a cross towards Mane at the back post, but he’s beaten in the air. A few moments later, Mane goes into the book for an overly robust challenge on Fred.

Chance! Firmino is the creator again, brushing off Fred and driving forward, before playing Salah in behind. Henderson blocks the Egyptian’s shot to deny him a hat-trick.

MANCHESTER UNITED 2-2 LIVERPOOL (66’)
Time for a double United change: Van de Beek hasn’t really made his mark on the game, so he’s replaced by Fernandes. And Fred replaces Greenwood.

MANCHESTER UNITED 2-2 LIVERPOOL (65’)
This has been a remarkably changeable game of football. For the first 10 minutes or so of the first half Liverpool looked completely bereft of confidence, but now they’re in control and pushing for a third goal.
