Honours even in Anfield stalemate
Liverpool and Manchester United shared the spoils at Anfield after a low quality match ended in a goalless draw.
It was the visitors that created the best chance of the match, with Rasmus Hojlund forcing a smart save from Alisson Becker in the second half. That was a rare foray forwards for United, who ceded most of the territory and possession to the hosts.
Liverpool had passive domination of a tepid first half, and won a succession of corners. Only one forced a save from Andre Onana, as he turned over a header from Virgil van Dijk. In the second half Trent Alexander-Arnold whistled a low drive past the post, with Liverpool mostly forced into shooting from distance. An injury time red card for Diogo Dalot arrived too late for Liverpool to make the numerical advantage count.
The draw is Manchester United’s first in the Premier League this season, and will take some pressure of Erik Ten Hag after poor recent performances.
The point moves Liverpool up to second place in the table, ahead of Aston Villa on goal difference and one point behind leaders Arsenal.

THAT'S IT
United hold out for the final few minutes, and one of the stranger games between these two has ended goalless.

RED CARD!
Well now! Dalot dispossesses Salah, but doesn't get the throw in he thins he deserves. He rages at Oliver and gets one yellow, keeps his rant going and immediately gets another!

90+1'
RASHFORD BOOKED
He's late on Tsimikas, and Liverpool have a free kick right on the corner of the area. Alexander-Arnold takes, and Gakpo glances a free header way over the bar.

ADDED TIME
We'll have five minutes, minimum. Any goal now wins it, surely.
89'
POOR CROSS
Alexander-Arnold gets in that money position in the inside right channel, but scoops his cross straight out of play.
87'
SHAW BOOKED
Oof this is cynical. He cleans out Konate with United aggrieved at not winning an earlier free kick. It briefly threatens to kick off, and then calms down.

LIVERPOOL CHANGE
Elliott, the matchwinner last week, enters the fray.
76'
CHANCE!
Salah finds Diaz with a clipped ball in behind Evans, and he's in. A superb recovery tackle from Evans pokes the ball away, and Nunez seems to busy appealing for a penalty to chase the loose ball and put it in. Drama!

It's getting tetchy at Anfield. Liverpool have controlled this but United have created the most clear chance so far.

CHANGE
Rashford replaces Garnacho for United.

BIG SAVE!
United break, and work the best chance of the game. Antony plays it infield to McTominay, who clips a lovely pass first time into Hojlund. He's one on one with Alisson, but shoots straight into his belly.
