Liverpool – Manchester United

1. The biggest rivalry in English soccer meets again at 13.45 GMT. Join us for all the action!

2. Michael Owen has failed to recover from his ankle injury to even make the 16-man Liverpool squad to face their bitter rivals. It means the only change from the leg-sapping slog through the Bucharest mud on Thursday in the UEFA Cup is the return of Vladimir Smicer on the left of midfield in place of John Arne Riise.

3. Manchester United have left the unpredictable skills of Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench and included John O'Shea - their only change from the Champions League victory over Rangers on Tuesday.

4. 1'

   We survive a brief scare with our TV feed, and the match kicks off with Liverpool

5. 2'

   Van Nistelrooy does well to hold off Hyypia - Liverpool are closing down quickly in the early stages

6. 3'

   Kewell bursts down the left, forcing Giggs into the tackle before the cross is whipped in

7. 4'

   A good early start from Liverpool as they look to take the game to the champions

8. 5'

   Diouf gets in behind the defence and cuts the ball back into the box. Ferdinand has to be sharp to knock it behind

9. 6'

   Murphy floats in the corner, it's a good one but United manage to clear their lines

10. 7'

    Forlan is pushed over by Murphy, free-kick to United who can push forward. Giggs tries a shot from 20 yards out only to slice it well wide

11. 8'

    Heskey fouls Ferdinand as the Liverpool striker tried to get on the end of a Finnan cross

12. 9'

    Kewell looks menacing, but Gary Neville is sticking to him like glue

13. 10'

    Liverpool are playing the ball around well without really showing signs of breaking down the United defence

14. 11'

    Traore's first time cross into the box evades everyone, and Diouf then miscontrols on the touchline to concede possession

15. 12'

    Smicer does brilliantly to get past two men in the box, but his cut back for Heskey is just behind the striker and he can't get it goalwards - leaving Silvestre to mop up

16. 13'

    O'Shea blocks the run of Diouf and that's a free-kick on the right flank

17. 14'

    Kewell's cross into the danger area is easily headed clear by Silvestre

18. 15'

    Diouf does wqell to sell Gary Neville and get to the byline, only for his cut-back to be intercepted by Ferdinand

19. 16'

    United break and win the corner. Giggs delivers from the right and Biscan heads away

20. 17'

    Another corner, Giggs again from the right - straight into the arms or Dudek. Not a bad ball but nobody attacked it

21. 18'

    Diouf, looking hungry, cuts inside from the right but sees his shot blocked

22. 19'

    United are sporting a new white kit today, lovely it is too. Kerching!

23. 20'

    Gerrard tries a powered cross field pass and the ball smacks into Keane's head. He needs a bit of treatment - get up you big girl!

24. 21'

    Phil Neville clatters into Smicer and referee Graham Poll has a word with the United midfielder

25. 22'

    Diouf again looks good with his twists and turns on the flank, but his delivery continues to let him down

26. 23'

    United win corner, a rare foray forward for the visitors. Giggs takes from the right and Traore heads to safety

27. 24'

    United break well, Phil Neville finds Van Nistelrooy as Giggs bursts through the centre. The Dutchman shows why he's a striker and not a winger as his cross goes out of play

28. 25'

    Gerrard wins the ball off Fortune as he looked to stride forward. It's a great tackle but Fortune thinks otherwise and protests with the referee

29. 26'

    This game has failed to really take off yet. Plenty of probings but nothing in the way of goal mouth incident

30. 27'

    Again a Liverpool cross into the box is poor, this time from Traore, and that must improve. Kewell has gone a little quiet

31. 28'

    Giggs finds Forlan in the box, but control lets the Uruguyan down - he was almost in on goal but Hyypia stood strong

32. 29'

    Murphy finds Kewell - then the Aussie gives it away with a poor ball

33. 30'

    Phil Neville plays in Forlan, he cuts it back and wins a corner

34. 31'

    Forlan goes flying over the advertising hoardings - much to the amusement of the Anfield faithful

35. 32'

    Pressue from the champions. It's a free-kick. Giggs floats it to the far post and Van Nistelrooy puts it inches wide of the post

36. 33'

    Van Nistelrooy did a rather poor impression of Diego Maradona - trying to punch it home. And referee Poll was less than impressed, booking the striker.

37. 34'

    Smicer appeals for a free-kick after a tussle with Silvestre - no dice

38. 35'

    Heskey's late on Silvestre. Free-kick.

39. 36'

    It's Smicer cross this time that finds its way into the grasp of Howard

40. 37'

    Still no shot on target from either team, and no real sign of one on the horizon either. There's only been three shots in the entire game

41. 38'

    Kewell cuts inside and has a stab - it's a good effort but just over the bar

42. 39'

    Free-kick to United on the right, crossed in by Giggs and cleared with ease

43. 40'

    Diouf links up with Kewell on the left, but the former is needlessly offside

44. 41'

    Giggs continues to ply his trade on the right flank, but he seems wasted out there

45. 42'

    Diouf brings down Fortune, free-kick

46. 43'

    Diouf finally finds a red shirt with his cross from the right, Kewell gets there ahead of Silvestre but can't keep it down

47. 44'

    Heskey somehow fails to head goalwards after meeting the cross from Diouf. That was a chance

48. 45'

    One minute to be added on

49. 45'

    Corner to United right at the death. It's Giggs from the right, but it comes to nothing

50. 45'

    There goes the half-time whistle

51. 45'

    It's been a poor first half, neither side having tested the goalkeeper. Let's hope for better after the interval - otherwise I'm off to watch the bowls

52. 46'

    Manchester United get this thrilling enounter underway once again

53. 47'

    Liverpool push forward early doors, and Howard has to come out and claim Diouf's hanging cross

54. 48'

    Kewll comes forward, Gary Neville backing off, and hits one, which Howard has to claw round the post

55. 49'

    Hesey picked up an injury in that move and needs some treatment to his anklle, but he looks like he'll be okay

56. 50'

    Diouf takes the corner, but referee Poll sees a foul and blows up in United's favour

57. 51'

    Heskey almost finds space in the box, but Gary Neville is there to clear

58. 52'

    Liverpool have come out on the attack, but can they make it count?

59. 53'

    Forlan capitalises on an error and crosses for Van Nistelrooy, only for Traore to get back brilliantly to intercept. Great defending

60. 54'

    Dudek's clearane is poor and it falls to Giggs, and he hammers it back towards goal first time with his left peg. Dudek has to make a fine one-handed save to keep the shot out.

61. 55'

    Phil Neville enters the book for a foul on Smicer. Free-kick taken by Gerrard from 35 yards straight to Howard

62. 56'

    Gerrard is sent tumbling by Fortune. Free-kick

63. 57'

    Offside against Van Nistelrooy

64. 58'

    Pressure by Liverpool sets the atmopshere alight at Anfield, can they turn it into goals?

65. 59'

    Gerrard brings down Forlan, free-kick again

66. 60'

    Giggs crosses from the right, Van Nistelrooy looks to get his head on it and it evades everyone and finishes in the back of the net! 1-0 to United!

67. 61'

    Dudek couldn't come for that as it looked like Van Nistelrooy would get his head to it. That left the ball to bounce into the corner of the net and hand the advantage to the champions

68. 62'

    Offside flag up against Diouf

69. 63'

    Liverpool make their first change as Vladimir Smicer is replaced by Florent Sinama-Pongolle

70. 64'

    A poor challenge by Diouf sends O'Shea tumbling and that's a booking

71. 64'

    Van Nistelrooy receives the ball from Forlan's free-kick, but sees his shot blocked by Traore

72. 65'

    Forlan tries his luck from 25-yards, but fires over

73. 66'

    Diouf is high on O'Shea and referee Poll has words with the Liverpool wide man. That could have gone either way and Diouf will have to tread carefully now

74. 67'

    Liverpool have not looked like scoring since they fell behind, in fact a second for United looks more likely

75. 68'

    Kewell collects from Diouf and tries one with the outside of his left boot, but it's straight at Howard

76. 69'

    Forlan crosses from the left right across the face of goal. Somehow Van Niselrooy misses it and Giggs picks it up on the far post and fires in a shot. 2-0

77. 70'

    Giggs fired a powerful shot into the back of the net, but Dudek was at fault. It went straight through him - he's got to be disappointed with that

78. 71'

    A second change for Liverpool as El Hadji Diouf, who could well have seen red, is replaced by Anthony Le Tallec

79. 72'

    Corner to United - Liverpool look a beaten side

80. 73'

    Giggs takes from the right, but Dudek is fouled by Van Nistelrooy

81. 74'

    Free-kick to Liverpool. Gerrard delivers into the box but United clear their lines

82. 75'

    Sinama does well to get to the byline, crosses to the back stick and Kewell arrives late to fire home. 2-1 and game on!

83. 76'

    That came from nothing really, and Kewell did well to keep his shot down and beat Howard

84. 77'

    Liverpool have their tails up now, what a difference a goal can make

85. 78'

    Gerrard has acres of space and opts for the curling ball into the box. It's poor and straight to Howard

86. 78'

    Sinama breaks into the box and closes down on goal, Ferdinand gets back and makes a fine challenge just as Sinama was about to round Howard. It's a humdinger now

87. 79'

    It's all Liverpool now. Le Tallec finds space in the box but is forced wide. Finnan crosses in only for Le Tallec to head over

88. 80'

    Howard makes a horrendous error to gift the ball to Sinama. He dawdles and feeds Le Tallec far too late, the move breaks down

89. 81'

    Heskey knocks it down for Murphy - in on goal, it must be the leveller - but it's a fine last ditch tackle from Silvestre to thwart the England international

90. 82'

    Free-kick against Van Nistelrooy, no restbite for United

91. 82'

    Heskey just fails to get on the end of Finnan's cross, another scare

92. 83'

    Quinton Fortune is replaced by Darren Fletcher

93. 84'

    Liverpool seem to have lost the momentum. Is their challenge dead?

94. 85'

    Don't forget, you can follow Chelsea v Newcastle live with us at 16.05 GMT

95. 86'

    Sinama's control lets him down and the ball goes out of play

96. 87'

    Liverpool are on the brink of losing yet again, meaning they will be 13 points off the top of the table. Time out for Houllier?

97. 88'

    Kewell is dragged back by Phil Neville. Free-kick 35 yards out - a chance for Liverpool

98. 89'

    Gerrard's free-kick is poor and headed clear

99. 90'

    Two minutes to be added on

100. 90'

     Fletcher gets away from his man, but with Van Nistelrooy lurking gets the pass all wrong

101. 90'

     Gerrard picks a fine ball through the centre - Heskey's there and he simply can't miss... but he fresh-airs it and it runs behind for the goal kick. Liverpool won't get a better chance at this late stage

102. 90'

     And there goes the final whistle

103. 90'

     After such a poor first half, the second was a welcome change. United probably deserved the victory, but had to withstand a huge onslaught at the end
