Manchester United vs Liverpool LIVE
Kobbie Mainoo scored a fine late winner to quell a valiant Liverpool comeback and a return to the Champions League for Manchester United. The hosts were untouchable in the first-half and raced to a two-goal lead thanks to the returning Matheus Cunha and a clumsily bundled finish from Benjamin Sesko.
But Liverpool were renewed after the break and levelled the tie through Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo, before Mainoo celebrated his new long-term contract with an emphatic winner in front of the adoring Stretford End. The victory sees United complete a rare league double over Liverpool, who were without eight first-team players for the short trip across the northwest, but will hope to welcome some fresh faces back into contention ahead of hosting Chelsea next week.
There was good news for United ahead of the match as Luke Shaw and Matheus Cunha, who had both been injured, made the starting lineup, but there is fresh concern over the condition of Benjamin Sesko, who hobbled off at half-time. Catch up with the action as it happened below with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog, complete with expert insight and analysis.

Manchester United 3-2 Liverpool
17:18 , Arthur Ferridge88mins: And an ambitious roll of the dice from Slot as he throws Chiesa into the mix, replacing Konate. Attacking midfielder on in place of a centre-back. Let’s see if that pays off.

That allows Cunha to be replaced by Zirkzee.

17:08 , Arthur FerridgeDesolation for Liverpool, adulation for United! They retake the lead through one of their own as Mainoo, who signed a new long-term deal just a few days ago, fires home from range in front of the Stretford End. What a moment!

Manchester United 2-2 Liverpool
17:02 , Arthur Ferridge71mins: Fernandes takes some time to catch his breath after being clattered by Van Dijk.
He delivers the free-kick into the Liverpool box from a ways out and Casemiro is in a remarkable amount of space, but he just cannot get any power behind his header and Woodman saves.

Manchester United 2-2 Liverpool

GOAL! Manchester United 2-2 Liverpool | Gakpo '56
16:47 , Arthur FerridgeWe’re level! Liverpool equalise in remarkable fashion! Lammens flubs a pass out from the back and it falls to the feet of Mac Allister, who plays Szoboszlai into the box. The Hungarian squares for Gakpo to take the easiest finish of his career.
Manchester United 2-1 Liverpool
16:46 , Arthur Ferridge55mins: That wasn’t far away. Liverpool’s pursuit of an equaliser continues as Szoboszlai tees up Wirtz’s long-shot. The German misses narrowly wide.

16:44 , Arthur Ferridge54mins: What a goal that would have been! Fernandes plucks a long ball out of the air superbly and squares for Mbeumo, who attempts an audacious backheel flick... but hits the post!

GOAL! Manchester United 2-1 Liverpool | Szoboszlai '47
16:38 , Arthur FerridgeA perfect start to the half for Liverpool! Szoboszlai picks out the substitute Diallo’s pass and drives at goal before slotting into the bottom corner. Very well taken from the brilliant Hungarian.

HALF-TIME: Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool
16:20 , Arthur FerridgeThe hosts are firmly in the driver's seat as the half-time whistle blows, with Arne Slot's side yet to recover from their slow start.
Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool
16:19 , Arthur FerridgeA clever corner routine from United as Fernandes rolls it to Mbeumo on the edge of the box, but Wirtz spies the danger and closes him down in the nick of time. His deflection falls for Fernandes to send back into danger, but his target, Casemiro, had strayed offside.

Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool
16:16 , Arthur Ferridge45mins: Another heroic dive from Casemiro denies Gravenberch’s latest long shot. Maguire then throws himself in front of Wirtz’s follow-up effort and takes it straight in the head.
That’ll be a painful one. He needs a moment to recover.
Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool
16:15 , Arthur Ferridge44mins: The ball falls fortunately to Sesko after a melee in the box but he can’t quite make sufficient contact to beat Woodman.
Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool
16:13 , Arthur Ferridge43mins: Mbeumo pings a long ball into the box for Sesko, but the Slovenian can’t quite bring it down. United attack again immediately but Cunha’s cross is nodded away by Robertson. That ball falls for Mbeumo to have a second bite of the cherry, but his latest effort goes behind for a goal-kick.
Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool
16:12 , Arthur Ferridge41mins: Gravenberch has a pop from range but Lammens catches it with ease.
Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool
16:10 , Arthur Ferridge39mins: A relatively promising Liverpool attack comes to an awkward end as Gakpo plays a pass to Frimpong, who had come back from an offside position. The full-back-come-winger tracks back with a shrug.
Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool
16:07 , Arthur Ferridge36mins: Frimpong crumples to the turf after a rather soft coming-together with Shaw. VAR is obliged to check for a penalty but duly, does not award one.
Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool

Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool

16:02 , Arthur Ferridge32mins: Mac Allister trips Mainoo high on the right flank, and United have a free-kick in a very dangerous position.
Fernandes is sizing it up...
Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool
16:01 , Arthur Ferridge30mins: A break in play here as Casemiro receives treatment following a collision with Szoboszlai. He is fine to continue.
Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool

Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool
15:58 , Arthur Ferridge27mins: CLOSE! It could have been three for United! They flow forward through Dalot, who feeds Mbeumo into the right channel. His cross is behind Sesko but Fernandes meets it on the volley and fires narrowly wide.
Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool
15:57 , Arthur Ferridge26mins: Casemiro hacks Jones down in the centre-circle to give Liverpool a free-kick. Clumsy tackle from the Brazilian.

Breaking: Sir Alex Ferguson hospitalised
15:55 , Arthur FerridgeSir Alex Ferguson has been taken to hospital after feeling unwell before Manchester United’s match against Liverpool this afternoon.
The former Man Utd boss, 84, was at Old Trafford and had been expected to attend the game but was taken to the hospital in an ambulance before kick-off.
Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool
15:53 , Arthur Ferridge22mins: Benjamin Sesko chases a loose ball to the byline, but is unceremoniously bundled over it by Ibrahima Konate. The Slovenian falls awkwardly and Bruno Fernandes protests on his behalf, but the LIverpool centre-back faces no retribution.
Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool
15:51 , Arthur Ferridge20mins: Well, this was already going to be an uphill battle for Liverpool, but this has been a nightmare start. They’ve enjoyed more of the ball since Cunha’s opener but have not been able to threaten the United box, much less bother Senne Lammens unduly.
To make matters worse, options from the bench are thin on the ground for Arne Slot.
Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool
15:48 , Arthur FerridgeSesko’s goal stands! It would have been a scandalous decision to rule that out. Good process.
Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool
15:47 , Arthur FerridgeUh-oh. A VAR check is ongoing, investigating whether the ball touched Sesko’s hand before he scored...
GOAL! Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool | Sesko '14
15:45 , Arthur FerridgeIt’s two! United break at pace after Mac Allister loses the ball in the final third and Sesko clumsily bundles it beyond Woodman after Fernandes' cross. It wasn’t pretty, but he won’t mind.
Manchester United 1-0 Liverpool
15:43 , Arthur Ferridge12mins: Liverpool’s press is full of holes. United are playing around their visitors with patience, but with relative ease. The lack of centre-forward leading that press may be limiting them.
Manchester United 1-0 Liverpool
15:41 , Arthur Ferridge10mins: The Reds are growing into this somewhat now after a really shaky start, which they may well come to rue. United are defending well, though, and Heaven ushers Szoboszlai’s heavy touch out for a goal kick.
GOAL! Manchester United 1-0 Liverpool | Cunha '6
15:38 , Arthur FerridgeCunha scores on his return from injury! Mbeumo’s corner falls to him on the edge of the box and he shoots first-time. The effort is blokced but falls kindly for him and he makes no mistake at the second time of asking.
Manchester United 0-0 Liverpool
15:35 , Arthur Ferridge4mins: Woodman’s misplaced clearance falls to Mbeumo, but Mac Allister does well to track back and deny him a shot. Some confusion on the edge of the box from Van Dijk gifts possession back to the hosts and Mbeumo sends a cross towards Sesko, who leaps higher than his marker Konate but cannot make contact.
Manchester United 0-0 Liverpool
15:33 , Arthur Ferridge2mins: Fernandes is in pursuit of his 20th assist of the season today and he has already had two looks for it. He see’s a cut-back blocked away but United come again and he sends a deep cross in search of Sesko, who turned out to be offside.
Manchester United 0-0 Liverpool
15:32 , Arthur Ferridge1min: A tentative start through the opening exchanges, but an early cheer goes up from the Old Trafford crowd as Florian Wirtz puts a pass into touch.
KICK-OFF! Manchester United 0-0 Liverpool
15:30 , Arthur FerridgeWe’re off!
Here we go...
15:27 , Arthur FerridgeThe players take to the pitch. Kick-off is imminent!
Another reminder
15:22 , Arthur FerridgeA win for Manchester United today will confirm their place in next season’s Champions League!
No pressure then, chaps.
Team news reminder
15:20 , Arthur FerridgeTen minutes to kick-off. Here’s a reminder of how our sides will line up this afternoon...
Man Utd XI: Lammens; Shaw, Heaven, Maguire, Dalot, Casemiro, Mainoo, Fernandes, Mbeumo, Cunha, Sesko
Liverpool XI: Woodman; Robertson, Van Dijk, Konate, Frimpong, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Jones, Wirtz, Gakpo.
More from Arne Slot on what this match means for Liverpool
15:12 , Arthur Ferridge“Every week we need to prove ourselves, not only for the players, for me as well. That is not only when we play United, it’s also when we play Fulham or Palace. That is the way our lives are.
“We have to prove ourselves every three days and people judge us every three days. That is completely fair, we know this when we go into the job. It is for you guys [the media] to judge if I have been too harshly judged by many people. That’s not up to me.
“I judge my players, if they play well, if they are working hard and executing tactics. I’m not in this job to judge whether I’m criticised too harshly, that’s not the way I spend my time on a daily basis.”
Curtis Jones' milestone
15:04 , Arthur FerridgeToday will mark Curtis Jones’ 150th Premier League appearance.
Those 150 appearances have wrought ten goals and 11 assists.
The Briton has been forced to play as a right-back for much of this season, and Arne Slot is full of praise for his performances.
Asked to analyse Jones’ recent performances, the Dutchman said he has played: “Very well, not perfect, but then who is perfect?
“But he has hardly played there in his career and the way he does it is a big compliment, he played two good games and was even better defensively vs. Palace than vs. Everton.”
“He always shows great personality wherever he plays, never afraid to have the ball or take a risk, which maybe he has to change a little bit at right-back.”
Bruno Fernandes
14:56 , Arthur FerridgeA big game for Bruno Fernandes today as he looks to match Thierry Henry and Kevin de Bruyne’s stunning record of 20 assists in one season.
He has 19 to his name thus far in the campaign, and seven in his last seven appearances.
Can he make history today?
Arne Slot issues injury update
14:48 , Arthur Ferridge“I don’t think, in general, it is a surprise that after a win we pick up injuries. It has happened so many times this season that no one can be surprised that it happened again.
“With Alex, it wasn’t much but unfortunately, it was too much for him to be able to play.
“Alisson hasn’t trained with us yet, so that makes it quite simple. We are hoping for him to be ready next week but we have to wait and see how the week will go.
“The same can be said about Alex. We are hoping to have him back next week but that is small margins.”
Permutations: How Man Utd and Liverpool can BOTH qualify for Champions League today
14:40 , Arthur FerridgeMan Utd know victory over Liverpool on Sunday afternoon at Old Trafford will guarantee a return to the Champions League with three games to spare.
A win for the Reds by a two-goal margin would take them above their bitter rivals in third because of their superior goal difference and it may also be enough to confirm a top-five finish.
Aston Villa are in action against Tottenham later in the day hoping to move on to 61 points and ensure they can no longer be caught by Chelsea, Brentford, Fulham, Everton, Sunderland or Palace.
After Brighton lost at Newcastle, if Bournemouth fail to beat Palace, Man Utd’s place in next season’s Champions League will be confirmed before kick-off against Liverpool.
Liverpool will qualify for the Champions League if they beat Man United and Bournemouth fail to beat Palace.
Liverpool injury crisis deepens
14:33 , Arthur FerridgeWhile United are blessed with two returnees today, Liverpool have been handed more bad news.
Saturday’s reports of a groin injury to Isak have been confirmed, as the Swede’s miserable campaign takes yet another downturn.
There is no Alisson, and no Giorgi Mamardashvili, meaning Freddie Woodman is restored between the sticks with the young Hungarian Armin Pecsi on the bench.
There is a very slight positive for Arne Slot as Milos Kerkez shakes off a knock to make the bench, but he is still forced to name FIVE academy prospects to the bench.
Man Utd XI
14:25 , Arthur FerridgeHuge news today for United as both Matheus Cunha and Luke Shaw shake off injuries to start. Amad Diallo makes way for the former to return.
The suspended Lisandro Martinez misses out, with Ayden Heaven keeping his place in central defence.
No great surprises anywhere else on the team-sheet. Casemiro is back in the fold again and will look to keep up his fine form, as Kobbie Mainoo makes his first start since signing a contract extension last week.

Team news up next...
14:08 , Arthur FerridgeLineups will be released at 2.15pm BST.
Why was today's kick-off time moved?
14:01 , Arthur FerridgeThis game is slated for a 3.30pm BST kick off on Sunday rather than the usual 4.30pm BST slot, which has raised some eyebrows.
It is still to be aired on Sky Sports Main Event like any other ‘Super Sunday’, but there is no official statement from the Premier League detailing why the kick off time is different.
Reports claim that it is a down to a security concern, taking into account the ferocity of the rivalry, and fixtures deemed ‘high risk’ are often shifted slightly earlier to allow for greater police presence.
Liverpool predicted XI
13:53 , Arthur FerridgePredicted Liverpool XI (4-2-3-1): Woodman; Jones, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Szoboszlai, Wirtz, Ngumoha; Gakpo
Doubts: Alisson, Kerkez, Isak
Injured: Salah, Ekitike, Mamardashvili, Endo, Bradley, Leoni
Man Utd predicted XI

Man Utd vs Liverpool head to head
13:37 , Arthur FerridgeLiverpool have just one win in their last four visits to Old Trafford. United came out on top in the reverse of this fixture at Anfield last October, winning 2-1 thanks to goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire.
Manchester United wins: 81
Liverpool wins: 67
Draws: 59
Standard Sport prediction
13:29 , Arthur FerridgeCarrick had an immediate transformative effect on United’s results, and their momentum shows no signs of slowing.
Their performance against Brentford was not perfect, but United’s effective half-time formation change suggested a new maturity in the squad.
Facing an injury-ravaged Liverpool, they should have no problems at all.
Manchester United to win, 2-0.
Liverpool early team news: Isak out - reportedly
13:21 , Arthur FerridgeLiverpool are dealing with a wealth of absentees, with Hugo Ekitike the most recent addition to the list after he ruptured his Achilles last month.
A report from The Sun on Saturday night claims Alexander Isak will miss the match with a groin strain.
Mohamed Salah is set to miss out with a hamstring problem which may bring an early end to his Liverpool career, while Alisson Becker is a doubt with a similar problem.
A knee injury has ruled Giorgi Mamardashvili out, while Wataru Endo, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni.
Man Utd early team news: Is Cunha fit?
13:13 , Arthur FerridgeMatheus Cunha missed last week’s defeat of Brentford with a sore hip flexor, but Michael Carrick seemed optimistic about his situation as he previewed the match on Friday.
Luke Shaw came off injured against the Bees, though, and the United head-coach seemed less confident about the full-back’s condition.
“Matheus [Cunha] has done a little bit of work, so we are hopeful,” he said. “With Luke [Shaw], we aren't sure if he will be ready, but we are hopeful.”
Matthijs de Ligt will not play, Carrick has confirmed, despite returning to training last week, and Lisandro Martinez remains suspended after being sent off for violent conduct.
