Liverpool vs Manchester United LIVE

Liverpool are in action for the first time in 2025 as they host Manchester United in what is still considered the biggest fixture in English football regardless of Premier League position. After concerns over fan safety this morning following snowfall across Merseyside, the game has been given the go-ahead and Arne Slot's side will be aiming to take advantage of results going their way on Saturday.

With Arsenal being held to a draw by Brighton, and Chelsea dropping points at Crystal Palace, the table-topping Liverpool can extend their lead at the top of the table to eight points with victory this afternoon, and they will still have a game in hand.

Man United go into the game on the back of four straight defeats across all competitions - and five in six league games - and kick-off at Anfield in 14th, seven points above the relegation zone. They can leapfrog West Ham and Tottenham with victory. Follow all the action with LIVE blog below!

How it stands...

Liverpool know victory this afternoon will see them open up an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.

Manchester United, meanwhile, start the day as low as 14th but can climb a couple of places with victory at Anfield.

Not long now!

Less than 20 minutes to go until kick-off at Anfield!

Liverpool suspension risks

Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, Ryan Gravenberch and Ibrahima Konate are all on four yellow cards in the Premier League.

So they are suspension risks for Liverpool this afternoon.

Therefore, if any are booked against Man United then a one-match suspension will be served against Nottingham Forest in the Reds' next Premier League game.

Liverpool are a game behind the majority of the teams in the division, so this game is their 19th in the Premier League this season which is the cut-off point for suspensions.
