It's a superb atmosphere at Old Trafford as we line up for the biggest derby in English football. Liverpool, in their away white kit, take the kick off against the all-red Manchester United. Stay tuned!
Good pressure from Man United, with Mbeumo winning the ball at the edge of the Liverpool box. The Cameroonian floats in a ball towards the far post, and it's millimetres away from the head of Sesko.
Cunha gives Man United the early lead against Liverpool!! It come sfrom a set-piece situation, with Mbeumo floating in an inswinging corner. Robertson heads it straight to Cunha, whose first shot is blocked by a defender. The Brazilian takes another crack at it, and it lobs past Woodman into the bottom corner.
Sesko doubles Man United's lead inside 14 minutes!! It was a superb counter attack from the Red Devils, with Mainoo winning posession and immediately playing Mbeumo through. The Cameroonian plays the ball to Bruno, who crosses it to Sesko. The Slovenian goes down under pressure from Jones.
Cunha keeps the move alive, and the cross inside the box is headed by Bruno towards the middle. It hits Woodman and then hits Sesko's body before crossing the line.
Decent football from Liverpool! The ball is played to Mac Allister, who immediately lays it off for Gakpo. The Dutchman, playing as a lone striker tonight, takes a few steps inward and then tries to curl one in towards the bottom corner, but it goes inches wide.
What a chance for Bruno Fernandes!! The ball is played to Mbeumo on the right, who opts to square it first time towards the middle of the box. Sesko does well to leave it for Fernandes, but the Portuguese's strike flies just wide off the post.
Liverpool are enjoying a bit more of the ball since going two goals down inside the opening quarter. However, the Reds looks disoriented and, frankly, the players look like they are not on the same page. Frimpong is flagged offside down the right flank after Gravenberch's ball is a bit late. Sums up the visitor's night.
Konate is unable to sort his feet out, and the ball almost drops kindly for a red shirt before Woodman clears the danger away. Meanwhile, the fourth official holds up his board to indicate a minimum of four minutes to be added on.
Referee Darren England blows the whistle to bring the first half to an end. The opening 45 minutes have gone as well as Man United could have expected, with Cunha and Sesko giving them a two-goal lead early in the contest. You can expect big half-time talks from both Carrick and Slot.
The players emerge out of the tunnels and return to the pitch. One change at the break from Man United, with Amad Diallo replacing Sesko. The home side, leading by two goals, get the ball rolling.
Szoboszlai pulls one back from Liverpool! It was a dreadful ball from Amad that gives posession away to Szoboszlai. The Hungarian has support on both sides but goes at it himself, calmly passing the ball into the bottom corner with Lammens rooted at the spot.
Mbeumo hits the post for Man United!! Casemiro's first-time ball is brought down superbly by Fernandes on the flank. The Portuguese midfielder squares it to Mbeumo, who hits a clever backheel flick that clatters against the post.
Calamity at the back from Lammens! The Belgian goalkeeper kicks the ball out straight to Mac Allister, who plays it to Szboszlai, who in turns lays it off first time to Gakpo. All the Dutch forward has to do is tap it in from close range, which he does perfectly. We are back to level terms at Old Trafford!
Cunha concedes a free-kick in the Uinited half, and Szboszlai floats in a superb delivery towards the far post. Van Dijk is inches away from getting his head on it, and it luckily takes a deflection and rolls harmlessly to Lammens.
Glorious chance for Man United to regain the lead!! Fernandes floats in a terrific ball in the box from a set-piece situation, and it picks out Casemiro perfectly. The Brazilian, completely unmarked in the box, heads it straight at Woodman.
Kobbie Mainoo re-establishes Manchester United's lead!! Cunha plays the ball to Shaw on the left, and his cross is headed down by Amad. Mac Allister boots iti away but straight to the onrushing Mainoo, who hits it with his side foot to find the bottom corner. Brilliant finish from the hometown hero.
What a final 15 minutes this is shaping up to be. Liverpool are pushing hard in search of the equaliser. The ball is played to Ngumoha on the right, and he lays it off for Gakpo, but the shot is straight at Lammens. Ngumoha, who today became the youngest Liverpool to play against Man United, has been superb since coming on.

The five minutes of stoppage time are up, and Darren England blows the full time whistle. Man United complete the league double over Liverpool this season, with Mainoo's strike proving decisive. The win also seals a place for the Red Devils in next season's UEFA Champions League.
