      LUIS DIAZ scored twice just before the break as Liverpool pounced on TWO poor Casemiro mistakes to go 2-0 up at Manchester United.Trent Alexander-Arnold also had an early goal at Old Trafford ruled out after offside Mo Salah got the slightest of touches in the build-up.Kick off time: 4pm BSTTV channel: Sky Sports Main Event / Premier LeagueLive stream: NOW / Sky Sports appMan Utd team: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Casemiro, Mainoo, Fernandes; Garnacho, Zirkzee, RashfordLiverpool team: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konaté, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Luis Díaz; Diogo JotaFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSFollow our live blog below…MAN UTD 0-2 LIVERPOOL45: Oof! How about that. Toby Collyer, born in Worthing, comes on to replace Casemiro. He’s making his Premier League debut at 20-years-old. Very ruthless from Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag. No changes for Liverpool, obviously.Gary Neville on Sky Sports said: “That feels a big moment. I don’t know how that conversation has gone at half time when Ten Hag has hooked Casemiro in front of all his team-mates.”I don’t think he would have brought him off for the two mistakes.

Completely needless and now the centre-back will have to be careful.Copy linkCopiedMAN UTD 0-1 LIVERPOOL38: That’s really knocked the stuffing out of the Manchester United supporters. They have been fairly happy with what they’ve been seeing but the mistake from Casemiro was calamitous.Gary Neville on Sky Sports: “Casemiro with a player of such experience the amount of times he gives the ball away in bad areas.”He has no pressure on him and it’s a first time pass he tries. Liverpool have made mistakes in these areas, but Mo Salah is class and the cross is delicious.”Copy linkCopiedMAN UTD 0-1 LIVERPOOL – DIAZ35: Goal! Oh Casemiro… he gives the ball away under no pressure whatsoever in midfield and Manchester United are punished emphatically.Mohamed Salah is quickly released down the right channel and his lofted cross reaches the back post, where Luis Diaz and Dominik Szoboszlai are both unmarked with the Colombian getting the all-important head on it.Mohamed Salah has been directly involved in 16 goals against Manchester United in the Premier League (11 goals, five assists); the most of any player.Luis Diaz opens the scoringCredit: GETTYCopy linkCopiedMAN UTD 0-0 LIVERPOOL34: Manchester United broke from that corner but Noussair Mazraoui’s shot dribbles wide.
