Liverpool 0-1 Manchester United LIVE Score, English Premier League: Mbeumo Gives Red Devils Early Lead At Anfield

Cunha has another scuffed effort, but he failed to get the required curl on the ball and it went wide of the post. It's end-to-end stuff, really, but nothing that has seriously troubled either goalkeeper in the last 15 minutes or so.

Meanwhile, the fourth official holds up the board to indicate a minimum of four minutes o be played at the end of the regulation 45 minutes.

After Van Dijk forced a routine stop from Lammens with his headed effort, it's Man United's turn to threaten from set-piece. A free-kick is floated into the box by Fernandes, and it bounced in front of Gakpo before the Dutch player attempt to hook it behind. For a moment, his heart was in his mouth as he saw the ball fly over the post.

A big, big save from Lemmens, making a one-on-one stop against Isak – although the flag did go up moments later. A really solid performance from the young goalkeeper, who is making his first appearance at Anfield.

Meanwhile, with less than 10 minutes to go in the first half, Liverpool – despite having two-thirds of the ball – are not being able to break down the Manchester United backline.

With half-an-hour gone, Liverpool are pushing hard for an equaliser. An initial ball into the box by Gakpo came off Fernandes and hit the inside of the right post, and Salah's resulting header is caught by Lemmens. Nervy moments, these.

Man United's pressure is taking a toll on the Liverpool defence, with two terrific chances in quick succession. A ball into the box from Mbeumo is spilled by Mamardashvili, with Cunha almost poking it home.

Another nervy moment for the Liverpool goalkeeper as he almost let Mbeumo get free and poke it home. The loose ball falls to Mount, who has an ambitious effort which goes just over the bar.

What a chance for United!! A brilliant long ball from Cunha found Amad on the right. The Ivorian lifted his head up before setting it perfectly for the onrushing Fernandes. Completely unmarked, Fernandes somehow manages to blast his shot wide of the post. He had to hit the target!

So, so unlucky for Gakpo!! It would have been a stunning goal from the Dutch forward. After Dalot lost the ball, the Reds ventured ahead with intent before finding Gakpo, who cut inside before trying to curl one into the corner from just outside the box. It had Lammens beaten, but crashed against the post before ricocheting out.

After Fernandes and Diallo combine well for an attack on the other end, Liverpool come rushing towards Lammens' goal. Salah did well to hold off the pressure and turn, almost finding Isak with the cutback. However, Shaw makes an important interception to cut out the danger.

It has been a really physical contest, with a number of crunching tackles and fours so far. De Ligt, meanwhile, almost gave away a penalty after putting in pressure on Kerkez, with the Liverpool left-back immediately going down. However, the referee is not moved.

What just happened?! Just 62 seconds on the clock, and Mbeumo rolls the ball in between the legs of Mamardashvili to give Man United the lead. A coming together leads to Mac Allister staying down, clutching his head.

United, however, play on, with Fernadnes finding Amad on the right. The Ivorian players it through to Mbeumo, whose finish is extremely well-taken.

The players are out on the pitch, with the Anfield crowd in full voice. A win tonight can take Liverpool to within one point of league leaders Arsenal. For Manchester United, though, it's a chance to win back-to-back games for the first time this season, giving some respite to under-fire Ruben Amorim. Which side will prevail? Stay tuned!

Both teams are far from full strength ahead of this match. Liverpool's injury issues sees them miss goalkeeper Alisson to a hamstring problem, with Giorgi Mamardashvili making a start.

Konate, who has made the starting XI, also suffered a knock that saw him pull out of the France squad. Wataru Endo, who has a knock, is also not in the squad. Giovanni Leoni and Stefan Bajcetic are also out.

Meanwhile, Lisando Martinez is back in training after an ACL injury but is not fit enough to make the squad. However, Mazraoui is back in the squad, even though he only makes the bench.
