Liverpool are set to take on Manchester United in the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon at Old Trafford.
It is the second time in a week that Jurgen Klopp has faced off with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with the previous Premier League meeting between the pair ending in a 0-0 stalemate.
This time around, somebody has to win though because if scores are level we’ll be heading to extra time and penalties but the Reds will be hoping to have the fifth round tie wrapped up by then.
Join us for live updates, commentary stream, latest score and analysis with Paul Gorst and Ian Doyle at Anfield, while Joe Rimmer and Theo Squires are also on duty too.

12 mins: McTominay passes to Maguire, who gives it back – Thiago catches the Scottish midfielder in possession, but referee Craig Pawson whistles. Liverpool don’t think it was a foul, but it’s a warning as both McTominay and Pogba have been caught early doors.
11 mins: McTominay finds Van de Beek in space on the right flank, but there’s no support for the Dutchman – he has to slow down and then play the ball backwards. Could he have taken on Fabinho there? That could say something about his confidence.
10 mins: Greenwood gets down the right and seems to run out of room – his only option is the low shot, and Allison easily turns away with his foot. Liverpool go up the other end and Henderson gets a strong hand on a teasing low cross from Alexander-Arnold.
9 mins: Old Trafford would be been electric with 76,000 fans or so in normal circumstances, but the silence is really noticable today.
7 mins: United are going in search of that opener, but Liverpool are pressing well off the ball – it’s well balanced so far.
Shaw’s corner is cleared by Liverpool. Solid defending from the visitors so far.
3 mins: Rashford shows quick feet to get to the byline and pull the ball back. Liverpool clear, but United come back – and they win a corner.
1 mins: Liverpool switch the play to overload on the right and United are all over the place – but the visitors can’t fashion a shooting opportunity. That was far too easy for Klopp’s men to get at their opponents.
Kick-off!
We are underway at Old Trafford – and, fittingly, Donny van de Beek gets things going.
