Stam's send-off

Jaap Stam is off to a rousing ovation.

Enter: Wes Brown.

16:34Nathan Ridley

Ronny just over

No, not that Ronny.

Ronny Jonsen has just tried his luck from long range and he wasn't too far away.

16:32Nathan Ridley

Another fine save

Pilkington is having a top afternoon between the United posts.

He's denied Garcia from earning a second goal with a fabulous save down low to his right.

16:30Nathan Ridley

More changes

This time Liverpool have made two.

Voronin is back on, as is Abel Xavier.

16:23Nathan Ridley

What a goal

Gonzalez can be proud of that one; a sweetly-struck free-kick from at least 20 yards out gave Pilkington no chance.

He wheels away in celebration towards the away fans.

16:21KEY EVENT

GOAL: Man Utd 1-2 Liverpool

Gonzalez, what a strike!

16:19Nathan Ridley

Double Man Utd substitution

Bryan Robson has switched things up.

John O'Shea is on for Dimitar Berbatov and Mikael Silvestre is on for Jesper Blomqvist.

16:18Nathan Ridley

Off the post!

Dirk Kuyt has just rattled the post from close range.

United are about to make a double change.

16:17Nathan Ridley

Good save

Kevin Pilkington has only just come on for United and has made a great start.

The stopper denied Mark Gonzalez in a one-on-one.

16:16Nathan Ridley

Berbatov spot on

Here's the moment Berbatov equalised from the penalty spot.

16:10KEY EVENT

GOAL: Man Utd 1-1 Liverpool

Who doubted him? Berbatov steps up and slots home with ice in his veins, sending substitute goalkeeper Sander Westerveld the wrong way.

16:09KEY EVENT

Penalty Man Utd!

Here's a chance to quickly respond. Dimitar Berbatov was brought down by Momo Sissoko just inside the penalty area.

16:07Nathan Ridley

Instant impact

After only a few minutes on the pitch, Luis Garcia has managed to break the deadlock.

The Spaniard rounded Van der Gouw and slotted home.

16:06KEY EVENT

GOAL: Man Utd 0-1 Liverpool

Luis Garcia opens the scoring!

16:04Nathan Ridley

Back underway

Here we go again for the second half - let's hope for some goals!

15:46Nathan Ridley

Half-time: 0-0

It's goalless here at the interval.

There've been plenty of half-chances but not many clear-cut opportunities.

Antonio Valencia has come closest to breakingh the deadlock minutes before Darren Bond blew his whistle to signal for the break.

15:43Nathan Ridley

Valencia inches away

That was the closest chance of the afternoon so far!

Antonio Valencia found room inside the Liverpool box but hit a rasping shot that went just past the post from close range as half-time looms.

It should be 1-0 United.

15:41Nathan Ridley

Political interest

Keep football and politics separate?

The UK's shadow chancellor and deputy Labour leader Angela Rayner, who's here today, might disagree.

15:37Nathan Ridley

Another sub

Nicky Butt's day is done, on comes Quinton Fortune to replace him.

15:35Nathan Ridley

Liverpool fans in good voice

Plenty of tunes coming from the away section.

Mind you, they've got a lot more to sing about than United these days.

15:31Nathan Ridley

Off the line!

Superb defending from Antonio Valencia, who's playing as a defensive midfielder come centre-back.

Andriy Voronin dinked Van der Gouw but Valencia was on hand to clear.

15:29Nathan Ridley

Defences creaking

Chances for both sides certaintly aren't at a premium.

Berbatov and Jesper Blomqvist have troubled the away defence, while Stewart Downing is rolling back the years on Liverpool's left flank.

There's not much in midfield!

15:23Nathan Ridley

Nev and Carra at it again

Bit of a lull in the game now but another hilarious moment between Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher.

Neville went down the right flank but slipped as he attempted to cut inside, prompting a big laugh from Carragher - and the nearby Liverpool fans.

15:15Nathan Ridley

Early change

Louis Saha can't continue for United after an early knock. Danny Webber is on in his place.

15:10Nathan Ridley

Close from Berbatov

Good strike from Dimitar Berbatov from just outside the penalty area.

Jerzy Dudek was forced into a good save to turn it wide.

15:06Nathan Ridley

Wide open early on

Almost a horror start for United goalkeeper Raimond van der Gouw, giving the ball away on the egde of his own box!

Thankfully for the Red Devis, he recovered to make the save.

15:03Nathan Ridley

Bad start, Carra!

Jamie Carragher has just passed the ball out of play with his first touch.

Cue a huge cheer from the home crowd.

15:01KEY EVENT

Kick-off

We're underway!

14:59Nathan Ridley

Here come the teams

14:49Nathan Ridley

Not long now

Kick-off is just 10 minutes away - the legends will emerge from the tunnel soon.
