Your support makes all the difference.Liverpool failed to capitalise on Manchester United's extraordinary string of injury setbacks but Sunday's intense goalless draw was enough to see Jurgen Klopp's men return to the Premier League summit.
The latest battle between English football's two most successful clubs was a typically tense affair as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's in-form side looked to bolster their top-four chances and give their title-chasing rivals a bloody nose.
United's trio of first-half injuries gave Liverpool the upper hand, yet the visitors failed to exploit those issues and had to make do with a 0-0 draw that puts them a point ahead of Manchester City and in control of the title race.

Arsenal 2-0 Southampton, 55 minutes
A blow for Arsenal.
Stephan Lichtsteiner has taken a knock and will have to come off.
Laurent Koscielny replaces the Swiss right-back, and that may lead to a reshuffle.
54 minutes
A strong run from Andreas Pereira, battling with compatriot Fabinho to the byline and winning a Manchester United corner.
55 minutes
The out swinger loops all the way to Chris Smalling at the far post but his header cannons against the back of Virgil Van Dijk's head.
Marcus Rashford is then unable to corral an excellent pass over the top, Joel Matip recovering to shield the ball back to Alisson. Liverpool have looked vulnerable a couple of times today to that particular tactic.
57 minutes
Wide!
Alexis Sanchez wins the ball with a firm tackle and Manchester Untied charge forward in numbers, Ashley Young looking outside to Romelu Lukaku.
Lukaku cross to a glut of bodies at the far post and the ball eventually drops at Marcus Rashford's feet, the striker's half-volley swerving towards the near post but starting too far outside Alisson's goal.
Arsenal 2-0 Southampton, 60 minutes
Shkodran Mustafi has gone to right-back for Arsenal. Certainly not a natural fit.
60 minutes
Plenty of noise still from the home crowd as we cross the hour mark, but both sides are struggling to generate incisive football.
Both teams look a little short of ideas, with Liverpool's midfield particularly lacking options for forward passes.
Arsenal 2-0 Southampton, 63 minutes
A strong showing with the armband from Aaron Ramsey.
He trots off to an Emirates ovation as Mesut Ozil joins proceedings.
62 minutes
Sky Sports suggest that Marcus Rashford winced coming out of the tunnel every time he put weight on his left foot.
He's nowhere near fit, but he'll have to soldier on.
Manchester United are doing well to shut this game down and have so far prevented Liverpool from generating momentum.
65 minutes
Xherdan Shaqiri is warming up for Liverpool, and Jurgen Klopp will surely be considering the Swiss playmaker.
His side seem a little devoid of ideas, as evidenced by Georginio Wijnaldum's decision to unfurl a speculative drive that flies high and wide of David De Gea's goal.
