29'
CLOSE!! Greenwood works some space to get it onto his left to curl one, and Alisson makes an acrobatic save!
29'
Rashford drives at Alexander-Arnold, Shaw busting a lung to overlap, but the England winger chooses the wrong option, instead trying to find Ronaldo in the pocket.
28'
Jones caught out straight away... Ronaldo... Greenwood.. Rashford's inswinger is blocked, and here come United again.
27'
Curtis Jones comes on for the departing Milner.

25'
Milner is down and injured, receiving treatment.
24'
Mistake from Milner, and Ronaldo's off and running down the right, but he's isolated, and a speculative cross is dealt with comfortably by Konate.
23'
Fred tries to slide a through ball into Rashford, but Alexander-Arnold does really well to block it on ground.
22'
Better from United. They build play going back and forth across the Liverpool area, but the unwillingness to cross is harming them. They've worked it nicely to Shaw here, and he works it onto his left and strikes! Just wide. Better from the hosts.
19'
Konate's header is poor after an initial Fernandes cross... it falls for Ronaldo, and he's sliced it high and wide.
18'
Lovely interplay again from the visitors in the right half-space, with Salah at the heart of it, but it ends quickly as Trent's pass for Keita is overhit.
17'
Shaw's delivery... Maguire... it falls for McTominay... offside.
16'
Corner, United. Conceded by Konate after a decent clipped ball into the left channel by Shaw for Fernandes.
15'
Animosity coming from the home fans now. They're disgruntled, and even more so as Rashford stutters when faced off by van Dijk, and he loses the ball too easily.
13'
GOAL!!!! It's Jota this time, all stemming from a defensive misunderstanding between Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire. Keita exploits it, he feeds Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Klopp's plan works; Jota slides in at the back stick. 2-0. Shambles for Solskjaer.

13'
Robertson tries to fizz a pass beyond Wan-Bissaka into Jota's feet down the left, but the United right-back stands strong, conceding the throw.
12'
No real urgency in the press from United since being caught out in the transitional phase for the goal. They don't know whether to stay or go, and that's a real issue in a game of this magnitude.
10'
A poor, desperate cross-field punt from Greenwood finds its way into Alisson's gloves, but the poor kick falls to Fred, feeding Rashford, who darts inside and fires wide.
9'
Fred loses possession cheaply again and Salah darts forwards, but McTominay recovers well. Liverpool come forwards again, as Keita finds Salah in the right channel, flag stays down, and the Egyptian cuts inside and fires a weak shot wide of the near post.
8'
Fred fouls Salah. Free kick, Liverpool.
7'
United caught by the counterpress again high in their own half; Fred losing out to Keita, who feeds Firmino, but the Brazilian can only muster a tame effort into the gloves of de Gea being forced wide.
5'
GOALLLL!!!!! Liverpool! With their first chance of the game! Naby Keita with the finish; and United are carved open, Salah is found with a penetrative pass through the lines by Firmino, and the Egyptian slides the Guinean in, who calmly slots home. The Reds of Merseyside lead.
