Manchester United vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League latest ...

42 mins: Bradley sneaks in behind Rashford and cuts it across the box to Diaz but Dalot’s desperate block does enough to divert it behind for a corner.

39 mins: After their positive start, United have struggled to have any impact on the game. The shot count, in particular, makes for a pretty grim reading - 13 to nil in Liverpool’s favour.

35 mins: OVER! Nunez comes within a whisker of doubling Liverpool’s lead as his effort goes just over the bar with Onana struggling at full stretch.

33 mins: A nice spell of possession for United but a turnover for Liverpool sees them bearing down on the Red Devils’ goal. Salah with the eventual effort but it’s palmed away well by Onana.

29 mins: Kambwala makes a meal of a bouncing ball and allows Diaz to scamper away from him, but, to the Frenchman’s credit, he recovers superbly to snuff out the danger.

27 mins: Fernandes draws a foul out of Mac Allister before whipping a superb ball to the far post.

Casemiro nods it across the face of goal but there is no body in a red shirt who is able to divert the ball into the net. United’s best chance of the game so far.

Liverpool take a deserved lead! They’ve had a flurry of chances in the last few minutes and finally make one count as Diaz slams home from a corner.

It’s Nunez who wins the flick-on at the front post and the Colombian is on hand to volley past Onana at the back stick.

21 mins: Another good chance for Liverpool as Robertson is afforded too much space out on the left but the Scot fires wide with his effort.

18 mins: Szoboszlai again finds himself ghosting into the area as he looks to make an impact from midfield. It’s a half-chance as the ball is fizzed across the box and the Hungarian can only skew his effort wide.

16 mins: Liverpool just beginning to turn the screw in this first half, not letting United play out with ease and winning the ball back high up the pitch.

Still United pose a threat on the break as Hojlund demonstrates as he charges down the left but Van Dijk does well to stay with him before shepherding out the threat.
