Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Anfield that hosts another battle between Liverpool FC and Manchester United FC.
  • 5' A quiet spell here at Anfield. Liverpool FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 10' Thiago Alcantara has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 20 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' Manchester United FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 20' Manchester United FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 25' Manchester United FC have won 696 goals from 423 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 30' Liverpool FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Manchester United FC's shape.
  • 33' Xherdan Shaqiri has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 33.
  • 38' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 43' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Liverpool FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 48' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 53' Supporters expect more eagerness from Marcus Rashford, as he is very good at scoring at Anfield with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 58' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Liverpool FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.

  • 71' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 76' A change in the Liverpool FC ranks — Xherdan Shaqiri exits the field as Curtis Jones enters on 76.
  • 81' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Aaron Wan-Bissaka suffering a number of foals already.
  • 85' Divock Origi is replacing Roberto Firmino for the Liverpool FC side.
  • 89' Another substitution for Liverpool FC to replace Georginio Wijnaldum by James Milner on 89 minute.
