Follow all the action from Anfield
Follow live coverage as Liverpool face Manchester United today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

After a woeful defensive display against Newcastle, Amorim will surely be pleased with how his United side has defended so far here, restricting Liverpool to just the one shot on target. Slot will want more from his team, though they have accumulated 1.27 xG (expected goals) to the visitors' 0.4 so far.

It's so far, so good for United as they go into the interval away at Liverpool with the scoreline 0-0 at Anfield. The hosts have done most of the pressing, going close through Gakpo and Gravenberch while Mac Allister saw a shot well-saved by Onana. However, United could have taken a surprise lead themselves moments before the interval, though Hojlund was denied by Alisson as we go into half-time goalless.

Diaz weaves into the United box, but he just can't quite get the ball out of his feet to get a shot away and he is eventually crowded out.

CHANCE! A huge opportunity for United to take a shock lead goes begging as Hojlund gets in down the left. He bears down on goal before firing, though Alisson does brilliantly to close the angle before making the save.
