A better spell for Liverpool as they enjoy a spell of possession in United’s half. Jota works the ball out to Robertson, who fires a cross beyond everyone and out for a throw.

Salah dribbles down the right, cuts into the box and has a shot blocked.

The hosts are well on top at the moment, forcing Liverpool back and looking threatening with each attack.

United lead! Pogba switches play over to the right and Rashford feeds the overlapping Wan-Bissaka. The full-back cuts the ball back from the byline and Fernandes digs out a shot with the outside of his right foot. It takes a big deflection off Phillips and beats Alisson.

Almost a howler from Alisson! Phillips puts him under pressure with a back pass and Cavani closes the goalkeeper down. His pass towards Williams is far too weak, gifting the ball to the United striker. But he can only drag his shot wide. Alisson’s blushes are spared.

Wan-Bissaka fires a cross towards the near post and Cavani attacks it, powering a header well wide.

Chance! Alexander-Arnold slides a pass into the path of Firmino, who surges into the box. He tries to square for Jota instead of shooting, but Bailly blocks. Liverpool claim handball, though there are appeals are ignored. And nothing comes of the game’s first corner.

The police helicopter hovering above the stadium is creating a slightly ominous atmosphere.

United get us underway!
