Liverpool vs Manchester United is the pick of the weekend's fixures — and the good news, for Reds fans at least, is the game will go ahead despite heavy snowfall in the North West overnight.

The welfare of fans travelling to the game was the main concern as two safety meetings were conducted just hours before kick-off, with the outcome being that the game will indeed go ahead.

It's his wayward pass that gives United the chance to attack again, and then he loses Martinez as the defender powers the ball past Alisson and in off the crossbar.

Liverpool, and their right-back in particular, need to wake up.

Keane slams Alexander-Arnold

Roy Keane not holding back on Trent Alexander-Arnold at half-time.

Yes, United have defended deep, but the Reds have allowed their opponents to get in down the right far too often, and they should be ahead given the chances Amad and Hojlund have had.

It's one-way traffic at the moment.

First hint of a threat from the visitors get in down the left through Dalot, but Alexander-Arnold recovers well and wins the ball off him.

Good spell of possession for Liverpool follows, but it ends when Robertson looks to float the ball up to Diaz.
