***FULL TIME AT OLD TRAFFORD***
United win 3-0 against arch rivals Liverpool. They took their chances today, Liverpool did not. De Gea man of the match for his brilliant work in the United goal.
14 Dec 2014
88' - Free kick in a dangerous position for United. Falcao hits it straight into the Liverpool wall.
14 Dec 2014
86' - Van Persie shots down the other end after he controls a high ball very well. Jones pulls off a stunning save.
14 Dec 2014
85' - De Gea denies Balotelli again... this time the Italian runs onto a through ball but his shot can't beat the United keeper.
14 Dec 2014
81' - Liverpool fashion a chance as Henderson on the right picks out Balotelli but he shoots straight at De Gea.
14 Dec 2014
71' - United catch Liverpool on the break Mata and Rooney combine. Lovren does well to intercept but he clears only as far as Mata who finds Van Persie unmarked who shoots and scores.
14 Dec 2014
66' - What a save by De Gea! Sterling pulls one back for Balotelli and his thunderbolt is pushed onto the bar by the United shot stopper.
14 Dec 2014
63' - Valencia profiting down the right again. He finds Van Persie but his snap shot is just wide of the right hand upright.
14 Dec 2014
60' - United sitting back and soaking up Liverpool pressure, however Liverpool are not looking particularly threatening at the moment.
14 Dec 2014
50' - Liverpool with their best chance, a poor back pass by Evans leaves Sterling one on one with De Gea who forces him to the left and Sterling's first touch is to heavy and then he shoots straight at the United keeper. He should have scored there.
14 Dec 2014
47' - First chance of the second half falls to Liverpool, Sterling whips a cross in from the left and Henderson with a well timed run is free from his defender but can't keep his headed effort down.

***HALF TIME AT OLD TRAFFORD***
Manchester United 2 - 0 Liverpool
United have had two chances and taken them both through Rooney and Mata. For Liverpool, Sterling has had three opportunities, but De Gea has denied him on every occasion.
Liverpool one again very panicky in defence, standing off United and not pressing at all.
14 Dec 2014
45' - Corner to Liverpool, cleared by United as far as Moreno who has a go, but well over the bar.
14 Dec 2014
42' - Chance down the other end for Sterling but he heads straight at De Gea for an inch perfect Henderson cross.
14 Dec 2014
40' - Mata is the scorer! This time it's Young on the left who whips in a cross, it seems like the ball is flicked on by Van Persie and Mata dives in at the far post to head home. If it did hit Van Persie then Mata was offsides. The goal stands however.
14 Dec 2014
38' - Liverpool are giving plenty of space to Valencia down the right, he puts in a low cross from the byline but Jones is equal to the task and saves before it can get to a United player.
14 Dec 2014
34' - Allen has a shot after the ball comes to him from the resulting corner, but it's blocked by an the United defence.
14 Dec 2014
33' - Moreno in space, picked up with a delightful pass, his first touch is too heavy and United recover and clear.
14 Dec 2014
27' - Valencia again doing well down the right, he gets another cross in, but it is too heavy and cleared by Liverpool.
