Liverpool – Manchester United

1. Live comments will appear here from 13.45 GMT.

2. There's a huge boost for Liverpool with Fernando Torres returning from injury, but Steven Gerrard misses out.

3. Martin Skrtel remains out of favour, meaning Agger and Carragher continue in the centre of defence. Johnson is back fit at right-back.

4. Rafa again goes for dual holding players in Lucas and Mascherano, so Benayoun, Aurelio and Kuyt will play in support of Torres.

5. Wayne Rooney is back for United after a lay-off of his own, he partners Dimitar Berbatov. And there's a couple of golden oldies in midfield - Giggs and Scholes.

6. The stewards have been caught out by the Kop! They are throwing inflatable football on to the pitch in homage to beach ball gate

7. 1'

   It's Berbatov and Rooney to kick off.

8. 2'

   More inflatables coming on from the Kop. Reina is not amused as he kicks them back into the stand. Not the goal this time, of course

9. 3'

   Carrick tries to send Rooney through the middle but it is over hit

10. 4'

    Sami Hyypis in the stands, the man who left for Bayer Leverkusen in the summer

11. 4'

    Rooney is almost through but the flag is up for offside

12. 5'

    Good run from Benayoun, he almost creates space but Carrick gets a good challenge in

13. 6'

    More interesting news from the stands - Hicks and Gillett are sat next to each other. They haven't done that for some time. Maybe they can discuss Rafa's future?

14. 7'

    Woeful shot from Lucas on the right, but there is a deflection for a corner

15. 7'

    More beach balls - this time from United fans - holding up the corner

16. 7'

    Aurelio's corner and Torres had found space, but it's a bit of a nothing header

17. 8'

    Liverpool have started well, passing the ball around nicely

18. 9'

    Nothing for the keepers to do yet

19. 10'

    Seems to be a good atmosphere in Anfield. But would you expect anything else for a fixture like this?

20. 11'

    Benayoun almost feeds in Lucas - too much on it

21. 12'

    Torres tries to wriggle into a shooting position in the box but finds his way blocked

22. 13'

    Torres cuts inside from the wing and is clipped by Evra. Seemed to be accidental but it's a free-kick on the right. No Gerrard to deliver, though

23. 13'

    Aurelio takes, it's decent but Carrick can head away

24. 14'

    Plenty of drive and determination, but as yet no end product

25. 15'

    Berbatov peels across the line and would be in, but Rooney fails to thread a pass through

26. 16'

    Evra is into the book for a foul on Torres just outside the area. A real chance for Liverpool this

27. 16'

    Aurelio hits it from 25 yards, left-footed...

28. 16'

    Ooooooh! Great save from Van der Sar, it was going into the top corner. It falls to Kuyt and Van der Sar blocks yet again

29. 17'

    The ball is chipped up to Torres who goes for the volley, but he messes it up and Man United survive

30. 18'

    Something to give Liverpool hope there, United only escape thanks to the brilliance of Van der Sar

31. 18'

    Liverpool break. Lucas runs with it and plays in Kuyt. The Dutchman gets the ball stuck under his feet meaning he needs an extra touch and then has to rush the shot, dragging the effort across the face of goal

32. 19'

    Liverpool growing in confidence, United yet to offer anything

33. 20'

    Giggs plays a searching ball to Berbatov who takes it down with consumate ease... and then wastes the pass by taking it early and placing it nowhere near Rooney

34. 21'

    Now United break again, Valencia delivers from the right for Rooney, but there's no power on the header which makes it easy for Reina to catch

35. 22'

    66/1 for Michael Owen to come on and score in a 0-1 win. Tasty.

36. 23'

    Vidic barges into the back of Torres, free-kick on the half-way line

37. 24'

    Mascherano unleashes a wild effort from 30 yards

38. 25'

    The game has calmed down a little now

39. 26'

    Looks like the fans have run out of beach balls - no sign of them anymore

40. 27'

    It's suddenly gone very scrappy. Sort it out, lads!

41. 28'

    Giggs tries to find Valencia in the box but there's too much on it

42. 29'

    Evra almost gets in around the back, Reina is wise to it and comes out to intercept

43. 30'

    United enjoying extended possession now

44. 31'

    Lucas trips Carrick in frustration, the ref has words

45. 32'

    Now Giggs fouls Mascherano

46. 33'

    Man United fans chant "ladyboy" at Torres. Razor sharp wit.

47. 34'

    Carragher steams in on Carrick in the box just as he was about to pull the trigger. It's a good job he got that one right!

48. 35'

    Valencia wins a battle of strength against Insua, chases to the byline but the cut back is poor and Liverpool clear

49. 36'

    A great cross from the right by Benayoun finds Aurelio in space. It's a decent header but almost comfotable for Van der Sar to claim down low

50. 37'

    Berbatov goes into the book now, not exactly sure what for!

51. 38'

    This time Benayoun gets his cross wrong, hitting it over everbody

52. 39'

    Lucas brings down Evra - gets away without a card again

53. 40'

    Berbatov tries a cheeky turn and spin but there's too much on it and eventually Reina can collect

54. 41'

    Woeful cross from Johnson, sails over the crossbar

55. 42'

    Benayoun is down with a head injury after clashing with Evra, a bit of a break

56. 43'

    We're back in action

57. 44'

    Torres wins a corner for Liverpool. Aurelio takes, Vidic heads away

58. 45'

    Free-kick to Liverpool - Sir Alex aint happy about it - which Lucas takes only for Van der Sar to punch away

59. 45'

    Kuyt went down in the box, but Berbatov and Kuyt were both at it so no penalty

60. 45'

    Two minutes added on.

61. 45'

    Liverpool fans go crazy after Lucas is penalised for another foul. Not happy!

62. 45'

    The half-time whistle goes

63. 45'

    Man United fans are surrounding the referee - they feel they've not had the rub of the green. It looks like Sir Alex may have words too.

64. 45'

    Finally the players and the officials leave the playing area

65. 46'

    The teams are back out

66. 46'

    Liverpool kick-off

67. 47'

    Berbatov lays the ball out wide for Valenica - but he's not there! Berbatov looks miffed

68. 48'

    Corner to Liverpool, Aurelio deliver and Van der Sar punches away

69. 49'

    Liverpool restart strongly

70. 50'

    Kuyt tries gets space in the box but decides not to shoot and pull it back instead, it's a poor ball and Benayoun cannot control leading to a free-kick for a high foot

71. 51'

    Vidic blocks Torres, the boos ring out from the home fans

72. 52'

    It's Aurelio again, Agger has to stretch backwards to flick it on but it evades a clutch of reds shirts and goes behind for a goal-kick

73. 53'

    United haven't really got going in the second half

74. 54'

    Torres gets room to burst into down the right. He has options in the middle but gets it badly wrong and it's out for a throw.

75. 55'

    Benayoun sees his shot blocked by Vidic

76. 56'

    Shot from Mascherano - it smacks into the face of Ferdinand and he flops to the ground much to the joy of the home fans

77. 57'

    Lucas blocks off Rooney just outside the area, it's a free-kick and again Lucas is not carded

78. 58'

    The free-kick is on the left of the box on the angle. Rooney and Giggs stand over it. It's Giggs who floats it over and Torres does brilliantly to head it off the head of Berbatov. However, the flag had (wrongly) gone up for offside anyway

79. 59'

    Quality. Hicks and Gillett are no longer sat next to each other. Must have been a stormly half-time chat!

80. 60'

    Valencia fells Agger, free-kick

81. 61'

    Free-kick to United over on the right for a foul by Mascherano on Valencia. Chance to deliver

82. 61'

    Giggs delivers to the far stick to Carrick, his header comes off Agger and behind for a corner

83. 62'

    Giggs takes from the left, it's eventually headed away

84. 63'

    It comes back into the box and Giggs is inches away from forcing it home

85. 64'

    A good spell for United

86. 64'

    Rooney is caught by Carragher, it must be a booking but no! Rooney is furious about it

87. 65'

    GOAL!!!

88. 65'

    Fernando Torres does it!

89. 65'

    Superb slide rule pass by Benayoun, Torres is put through and he holds off Ferdinand brilliantly before firing into the roof of the net

90. 66'

    Game on! United now must respond. It might not be long before we see Michael Owen.

91. 67'

    Mascherano is furious after being penalised again. Surely that's his last warning?

92. 68'

    Again Lucas is penalised, further up the pitch. Still no booking!

93. 68'

    The free-kick is central about 30 yards out

94. 69'

    Rooney takes it and can only hit the wall

95. 70'

    Kuyt drags a shot wide, he wants a corner but it really didn't deserve one

96. 71'

    Show from Mascherano - blocked by Vidic

97. 71'

    The game is really hotting up now

98. 72'

    Corner to Liverpool. Aurelio takes, Vidic mis-controls allowing Lucas to shoot - but he blazes well over

99. 73'

    Finally! Mascherano is booked for a late tackle on Evra

100. 73'

     Giggs takes the free-kick straight into the gloves of Reina

101. 74'

     Double change for United and the boos ring out. You know what that means. Michael Owen is on for Berbatov

102. 75'

     "Judas" sings the crowd as one.

103. 76'

     Vidic brings down Torres then sticks his foot in again. No choice but to be booked

104. 77'

     Nani gets space for the shot but it's a terrible effort. He came on for Scholes at the same time as Owen

105. 78'

     Rooney's shot from the edge of the box is superbly blocked by Carragher

106. 79'

     Benayoun gets into the box but the ball just wont sit for the shot

107. 80'

     Owen almost gets in, good defending from Agger

108. 81'

     Fernando Torres makes way for David Ngog

109. 82'

     Plenty of possession from United before Carrick lofts a wasteful ball over Rooney and out of play for a goal kick.

110. 83'

     No sign of an alamo yet from United, surely it will come

111. 84'

     Owen holds the ball up well, and feeds in Valenica - he looks for options and decided to smash the shot - and it comes back off the bar. Ooooh!

112. 85'

     Real tension in the ground now

113. 86'

     Owen spins Carragher and could be in - but the striker is brought down. Carragher gets away with a yellow and is very lucky. Sir Alex is going crazy!

114. 87'

     The free-kick is five yards outside the box. What a chance.

115. 88'

     Nani's effort is pathetic and stright into the arms of Reina

116. 89'

     It's all United now, probing outside the box

117. 90'

     Vidic is sent off!

118. 90'

     He hauled down Kuyt on the half-way line as he was about break through. Vidic had gone the flight of the ball all wrong and - for the third game in a row - Vidic sees red against Liverpool

119. 90'

     Five minutes!

120. 90'

     Free-kick to United in the deep. Giggs delivers but Agger heads away. It comes back in but Rooney can only head over

121. 90'

     Another change for Liverpool to add strength at the back as Skrtel comes on for Benayoun

122. 90'

     The game is bitty now - just want Liverpool want. Two minutes!

123. 90'

     United desperately hacking away - but United do not look like breaking through

124. 90'

     Mascherano sees red!

125. 90'

     Van der Sar chased out to clear and Mascherano did not pull out. He's off again against United!

126. 90'

     Into time added on to time added on

127. 90'

     GOAL!!!

128. 90'

     David Ngog!

129. 90'

     Liverpool broke up the pitch, Kuyt feeds Lucas who slipped in Ngog. He kept his head to slide home. Game over

130. 90'

     Liverpool fans are celebrating wildly, swinging their scarves

131. 90'

     And the final whistle goes!

132. 90'

     There's no doubt that Liverpool were the better side. United looked out of sorts and Rafa's team took advantage

133. 90'

     Liverpool fans will dream again now... until the next crisis
