8. Its a game that pits the two hottest strikers in the Premier League against each other as 16-goal Robin van Persie squares up against 15-goal Luis Suarez, who I'm sure will get a tasty reception from the home fans.

9. Jose Mourinho is in the house, and the teams are in the tunnel. Man Utd can go ten points clear at the top with a win, Liverpool can level on points with Arsenal, but the Gunners play Manchester City at 4pm.

    <b>KICK OFF</b>

11. 2'

    A bitty start, and a cheer from the home crowd as Suarez misplaces a pass to Sterling.

12. 3'

    Kagawa tries to float an early ball into the box but Wisdom did well to block and divert the ball back to Reina.

13. 4'

    Liverpool working very hard to close the ball down, as is their usual style. Ferdinand and Vidic under pressure near the halfway line.

14. 5'

    Evra gets wide and crosses but Reina claims, then he tracks Suarez who drifts out to the flank and then gets into the area. Well defended by Carrick.

15. 6'

    Terrible ball in from Kagawa as he cut onto his right foot. Decent atmosphere, as you'd expect. No love lost.

16. 7'

    Wisdom does well again to get a foot in as Kagawa runs at him but he does concede a corner.

17. 8'

    Awful corner from Young and as the ball loops up Kagawa fouls Sterling.

18. 9'

    Reina nearly gives the ball away dangerously, then does on his second attempt, luckily for him the eventual shot on goal from RVP is blocked and deflects up into his arms. Very risky from the goalkeeper.

19. 10'

    Gerrard swings in a free kick that Vidic nods clear, then Lucas fouls Welbeck.

20. 11'

    Agger gets tight to RVP - too tight. Tattoo tight. Gives away a foul.

21. 12'

    Reina tidies up as Skrtel's header inside his own box runs loose with Welbeck chasing.

22. 13'

    Evra clatters Suarez as they challenge for a header. Liverpool free kick 45 yards from goal.

23. 14'

    Rafael heads down the right and looks for Young but Johnson intervenes.

24. 15'

    Good work from Johnson as he tackles RVP then goes in strongly to win a free kick off Ashley Young. Commitment.

25. 16'

    Suarez tries to dink the ball past Vidic and run round him but the defender is a big lad and Suarez couldn't quite manage to circumnavigate his burly frame.

26. 17'

    Good run down the right from Welbeck, he cuts in and finds Cleverley in space and his little pass into the area for RVP is neat but Skrtel is across to block the shot.

27. 19'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> RVP finds the net!

28. 19'

    Neat build up to create space down the left, Evra drives in a low cross and RVP steals a yard on Agger to fire past Reina. Super finish.

29. 20'

    Agger at fault there - he HAS to be tighter than that when balls come into the box. RVP only needs a matter of inches to be able to find the net.

30. 21'

    Allen is late on Carrick and he gets a talking to from Webb. No card yet though, which is positive.

31. 22'

    Gerrard very nearly gifts RVP a clear run on goal with an awful pass but he gets back to tidy up his own mess.

32. 23'

    Wisdom charges down the right and crosses but Ferdinand is in the way. Liverpool coming into a little more now.

33. 24'

    Johnson takes on Young but can't keep his cross in play. He's good with his weaker, left foot but that was poor.

34. 25'

    Excellent pressing from Allen as Evra dawdles inside the area but he doesn't win a corner.

35. 26'

    And now RVP wastes a good chance to make it 2-0 as he runs into space and is found by Young - his first time effort from 16 yards loops over the bar.

36. 27'

    Allen is not having a good day so far - his pass looking for Suarez is hugely ambitious and rolls out for a goal kick.

37. 28'

    Lucas is penalised for a foul in midfield on Cleverley. Very little penetration up front for Liverpool in the opening half hour.

38. 29'

    Young is down after a cruncher from Agger - his knee bent the wrong way when he fell and the defender landed on top of him. That could be nasty.

39. 30'

    United were actually on the attack when Young went down and Kagawa had a chance to get into the box but he stalled and then Cleverley knocked the ball out of play.

40. 31'

    Valencia warms up as Young limps off the field.

41. 32'

    Young is back on but trotting gingerly as RVP is whistled for a foul.

42. 33'

    An awful mistake from Allen hands Welbeck the ball, he jinks outside and shoots but Agger makes a vital block.

43. 34'

    A promising move for Liverpool breaks down as Suarez can't collect a pass from Johnson after a nice one-two with Sterling.

44. 35'

    Another chance for Welbeck as he edges past Skrtel and makes room for a shot but he blazes over the bar from 10 yards out when he really should be hitting the target.

45. 36'

    A first effort of the match from Suarez as he volleys on goal from a tight angle but blazes high and wide.

46. 37'

    Terrible from Gerrard, truly terrible. Suarez gets space and Liverpool have numbers forward, he offloads to Gerrard but the return ball is right through to De Gea.

47. 38'

    Sturridge looks on ruefully on the bench.

48. 39'

    Liverpool really haven't helped themselves at the back with some risky, misplaced passing. Reina has to come out to the flank to clear another one and shanks his clearance out for a throw.

49. 40'

    What a thump from Cleverley! A cross is cleared to him and his left foot volley flashes inches wide of the far post. What a hit.

50. 41'

    Suarez wins a corner as he tries to jink past Vidic on the byline.

51. 42'

    An ominous stat for Liverpool - Man Utd have never lost from a winning position at half time under Ferguson in the Premier League.

52. 43'

    Another defensive mistake, this time from Wisdom, but Skrtel is in quickly on Welbeck to snuff out the danger.

53. 44'

    What a scramble! Rafael does extremely well to beat Johnson but he's off balance, his stabbed pass is flicked goalwards by RVP but a combination of Skrtel and Reina stop it before Kagawa thumps into the goalkeeper, who is down.

54. 45'

    Very brave keeping from Reina and after lengthy treatment he is alright to continue. Liverpool lucky to cling on then.

55. 45'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Lucas trips Young, who unleashes a dive worthy of Spalsh. First card.

56. 45'

    <b>HALF TIME</b> - and after five minutes of added time that is the break - an entertaining half and Man Utd good value for their lead. Set up nicely...

57. <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2013/0113/rvpgoalmanunitedliverpool13012013_275x155.jpg"><br> Van Persie gives Man Utd the lead

58. Surely Brendan Rodgers has to change something at half time - Liverpool were outplayed and outfought in that opening half.

59. <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2013/0113/exrasuarezhandshakemanunitedliverpool13012013_275x155.jpg"><br> A welcome pre-match sight

60. 46'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> We begin again with changes - Valencia replaces Young, who took a knock at the end of the half and Lucas is replaced by Daniel Sturridge.

61. 47'

    Space for Sturridge on the edge of the box but he neglects to shoot - odd for him - and instead tries to find Suarez but Vidic cuts out the pass.

62. 48'

    Joe Allen upends Kagawa - odd that he didn't go off instead of Lucas - and he is lucky not to get a yellow. Free kick 25 yards out and central.

63. 49'

    RVP goes for goal but gets it all wrong. High, wide and not very handsome.

64. 50'

    Better from Liverpool - they look better with two up top - but Sterling wastes a good chance to get in the area.

65. 51'

    A neat move ends with space for Wisdom but his effort on goal was clearly that of a defender as he skews a shot wide from 16 yards out.

66. 52'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Skrtel gets the wrong side of Welbeck as Evra floats a ball over the top. A definite foul but Reina was out. A tricky one that. Yellow is the call.

67. 54'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> RVP crosses for Evra to nod home!

68. 54'

    Superb delivery from RVP, a towering header from Evra, it takes a flick off Vidic and flies past Reina.

69. 55'

    And just like that, Liverpool's mini-revival is over. How often do you see a team waste a great chance, then concede moments later?

70. 56'

    The defending from that set piece was bordering on criminal. Johnson lost Evra and Vidic was free too.

71. 57'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Sturridge pulls one back after Gerrard's shot is palmed out by De Gea.

72. 58'

    A good hit from Gerrard and a good save from de Gea but he palmed it straight out and Sturridge reacted far quicker than Rafael.

73. 59'

    Game on now. Manchester United took their eye off the ball for a second thinking they had done enough.

74. 60'

    Gerrard tugs RVP down right on the edge of the box. The striker will fancy this one.

75. 61'

    RVP's free kick hits the wall and Evra is facing the wrong way after the deflection so can't capitalise on the loose ball.

76. 62'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Sterling comes off after an ineffectual afternoon and Fabio Borini is on. Liverpool showing their new-found striking wealth.

77. 63'

    Fabulous save from Reina! Welbeck's run on goal is halted but the ball rolls nicely for Kagawa who looks for the far corner but is denied by a flying Spaniard.

78. 64'

    Wisdom wins a brave header from the corner and denies Vidic a chance to score. Excellent defending.

79. 66'

    Johnson cuts inside Valencia and strikes on goal but that was never troubling the net.

80. 68'

    Sturridge looks for Suarez inside the area but the Uruguayan can't control it. Unlike him but the ball was fired quite fast.

81. 70'

    Super ball from Suarez for Sturridge and he gets a yard on Ferdinand but fires meekly wide of the near post. Had to go across goal.

82. 71'

    Liverpool are well on top now as Borini fires a volley a yard wide of goal. Sturridge did well to pressure Evra and win the ball back.

83. 72'

    Liverpool a completely different team with Borini, Sturridge and Suarez all on the pitch.

84. 73'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Evra is carded when he thought Downing was going to get booked for diving. He's got a point, the defender.

85. 74'

    Superb ball in from Gerrard, and though Vidic got his head on it Webb gives a goal kick. Oh dear.

86. 76'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Evra streaks away with the ball and Johnson cuts him down. Nailed on card.

87. 77'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Phil Jones on to shore things up as Kagawa goes off.

88. 77'

    Downing gets a good block in to defend Evra's attempted cross. Corner.

89. 79'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Vidic departs and Smalling replaces him.

90. 80'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Joe Allen trots off after a difficult afternoon, Jordan Henderson.

91. 81'

    A brilliant run from Welbeck down the left, he swaps passes with RVP and gets to the byline but then falls over before he was about to cross. He shares a smile with Sturridge, his big mate, who tracked him all the way.

92. 82'

    An ironic cheer from the home fans as Henderson misplaces a pass.

93. 84'

    Have Liverpool got enough left in the tank to rescue a point?

94. 85'

    What a miss! Suarez, amazingly, keeps hold of the ball in the face of about five separate challenges, the ball eventually breaks for Sturridge, who side-foots over from eight yards. Oh dear, what an opportunity.

95. 86'

    Liverpool are all over United here and Sturridge again blows a good chance, choosing to control a dipping ball rather than thump it. Eventually Suarez is crowded out.

96. 87'

    Manchester United are penned in their own half. They can't get out.

97. 88'

    Gerrard fouls Carrick to break up another Liverpool siege. Suarez skirted round the box and nearly drew a foul.

98. 89'

    Skrtel wins a free kick and it is taken quickly to Sturridge, he shields the ball well but greedily tries to score from the byline. He has to keep it alive.

99. 90'

    Four added minutes...

100. 91'

     Outrageous flick from Van Persie, who had had a quiet second half, but Reina is alive to save at his near post.

101. 92'

     Great ball in from Sturridge and Suarez takes it off Borini with a header that loops up for De Gea. He had his back to goal, Borini was running onto it.

102. 93'

     Excellent from RVP to get into the box and buy United some time to waste.

103. 94'

     <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> A very poor tackle from Agger on Cleverley. And that should be that.

104. 95'

     <b>FULL TIME</b> - and there is the final whistle. A very good game, and the epitome of a game of two halves. United on top in the opener, Liverpool dominant in the closer. But crucially, Man Utd hold on to move ten points clear at the top.
