  • 20' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Liverpool FC and Manchester United FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mohamed Salah made 409 appearances and scored 213 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 30' Luke Shaw is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Liverpool FC tonight.

  • 38' It’s high time Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

  • 53' The energy levels are beginning to show. Jurgen Klopp might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 58' 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 James Milner suffering a number of foals already.

  • 81' 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.
  • 85' The Liverpool FC bench stirs into life. Roberto Firmino is withdrawn and Divock Origi gets his opportunity.
  • 89' A tactical swap from Liverpool FC — James Milner on, Georginio Wijnaldum off on 89 minutes.
