Not ideal for the Liverpool players, who have just over one hour to prepare for one of their biggest games of their league season.
It’s still tense outside the ground.
Early chance for Firmino, who is released in the box and shoots a little late perhaps, Bailly blocking. Liverpool want a handball but it struck Bailly’s limb after ricocheting off another part of his body. The corner comes to nought.
No penalty, says Anthony Taylor.
That’s going in.
Penalty?
No, says the ref.
A deserved leveller! Jota improvises delightfully to flick Phillips’ shot past Henderson after United get bogged down in their own box following that corner. Game on here!
Liverpool now have a fairly dangerous-looking free-kick on the right and Trent Alexander-Arnold gets ready.
As you’d expect, Alexander-Arnold whips it in from the flank on a sixpence. Firmino ghosts around the back, beyond Pogba, and bullets his header past Henderson from a matter of yards!
Roberto Firmino adds a third for Liverpool.

Diogo Jota smacks one against the post.
Goal for United!
Bruno Fernandes with the free-kick.
Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold shoots on a night at Old Trafford that he dominated from start to finish.
That’s the breakaway clincher they have threatened. Matic overruns the ball, Jones hooks it through and Salah – with an entire half to run into – keeps his composure, giving Henderson the eyes and sticking the ball to his right. All over bar the shouting!
Liverpool celebrate at the final whistle and three vital points in the race for the Champions League.
