Manchester United can damage Liverpool’s Premier League title hopes this afternoon as they host their rivals at Old Trafford. 

The Red Devils will be aiming to bounce back from a last-gasp 4-3 defeat to Chelsea on Thursday night.

Erik ten Hag’s side led at Stamford Bridge in the 98th minute but somehow handed the points to the Blues, conceding two goals in a matter of seconds. 

Draw at West Ham dents Liverpool title hopes	Liverpool players have clarity now - they have to give Jurgen Klopp a fitting send off	'Hanging his head': Owen Hargreaves says another Liverpool star besides Mo Salah looked so annoyed yesterday

Jurgen Klopp will be pleased to have seen United lose heading into their clash but he will be wary of that result being used as motivation against his side. 

The Reds are currently top of the Premier League and flying, with another win moving them one step closer to getting their hands on the title.

79' - SALAH BLAZES OVER!

It's another scruffy one as a cross falls for Gomez on the edge of the box who tees up Diaz to draw the save out of Onana.

Onana's parry falls kindly for Salah - the angle is tight but there's still no excuse for the Egyptian not hitting the target!

78' - It's been all Liverpool since the changes but without creating much of note in an attacking sense.

Several crosses have been well headed away and Gomez and Elliott have seen plenty of the ball.

Bruno Fernandes scored a stunning 40-yard effort in front of the Stretford End to get Manchester United level against Liverpool.

Man United had been second best for the entirety of the first half after failing to record a single shot while Liverpool had 15 of their own.

65' - Worrying signs for the home side as Rashford has gone down twice, with his second sit-down being his final action of the day.

Antony is stripped and ready to replace him.

64' - This basketball style contest shows no sign of stopping as Dalot clips a ball over the top for Fernandes but he can't make the contact he wants.

Liverpool break once more but for what feels like the 50th time so far this afternoon it comes to nothing as Nunez's cross is headed away.

63' - Salah plays a pass inside for Szoboszlai who cheaply surrenders possession while half-heartedly appealing for a foul.

United play on and find Rashford but Quansah stays with him and times his challenge well to play it out for a throw-in.

60' - Liverpool look to come down the right once more but with a lack of options Szoboszlai waits before standing up a reverse cross.

It lands on Nunez's chest who cuts inside and shoots - it ricochets out to Mac Allister once more but Mainoo gets there first.

The England starlet squeezes it away and draws the foul to alleviate some of the pressure.

58' - Hard to know what Liverpool are playing at in attack.

Again they advance into the box as Bradley breaks into space and cuts it back for Salah.

55' - NOW IT'S NUNEZ WHO SHOULD SCORE BUT NO!

Liverpool break five-on-two as Salah releases Diaz inside the box who switches it for Nunez to tap in.

54' - ALMOST TWO!

The corner is initially cleared but Rashford collects play on the far side and whips in a wicked cross-cum-shot.

It bounces dangerously in front of Kelleher and only the slightest of touches from Casemiro but the Liverpool keeper palms it away.

FROM NOWHERE FERNANDES SCORES A WORLDIE!

It's horrendous from Quansah who under no pressure plays a terrible pass inside for Fernandes.
