Jordan Henderson reaction

"I didn't think we performed well enough in the first half, not our usual selves really, especially with the ball. We could have been a lot better but I thought second half was a lot better. We changed it a little bit tactically, which helped us, and I thought the longer the game went on we were pushing for that winner, and towards that last five to 10 minutes I thought we were going to get it. Ox came close with a great strike with his left foot and we kept pushing but, overall a fair reflection of the game would have to be a point."

LFCTV analysis

John Aldridge and Stephen Warnock reflect on the draw at Old Trafford...

Oxlade-Chamberlain whistles a shot just wide!

Five minutes added on...

Close!

Liverpool are pushing for a winner and Alexander-Arnold sends a half-volley narrowly over.

Fred shoots narrowly wide.

A final change sees Keita replace Wijnaldum.

Alexander-Arnold swings in a nice free-kick, but Firmino can't connect properly with his header.

A rare attack from United ends with Rashford cutting inside Matip and shooting wide from distance.

Oxlade-Chamberlain works an angle for a shot from 20 yards, but drags it wide.

Liverpool are camped in United's half now, enjoying complete control of the ball as they shift the hosts around trying to work an opening.

A first change for the Reds, as Oxlade-Chamberlain comes on for Origi.

Liverpool are dominating the ball now, but are finding it tough to create an opening with United sitting very deep.

An early foray forward from the Reds ends with Robertson's cross being cleared.

Close!

That's the best chance of the half for either side, but Firmino's shot is saved by De Gea.

Matip found Mane down the right and the No.10 surged forward before cutting back to the onrushing Brazilian. He tried to sweep it into the far corner first time, but De Gea got down to stop it.

McTominay drives forward and shoots from range, but his effort is comfortably dealt with by Alisson.

Liverpool have settled into a nice rhythm and are probing for an opening, with United content to sit deep and look to counter-attack.

Lovely footwork by Wijnaldum on the edge of the box takes two United players out of the game, but the No.5's shot goes straight at De Gea.

A first sight of goal for Liverpool.

Firmino latches on to Mane's flicked header but slices his left-footed shot into the Stretford End.

As usual, there's a pretty frantic pace about this game in the early stages.

Neither De Gea or Alisson have been called into action as yet, though.

Origi has started on the left of the Reds' front three, with Firmino central and Mane on the right.

The teams have emerged from the tunnel.

Not long to wait now...

Tuanzebe out, Rojo in

Mohamed Salah fitness update

Jürgen Klopp believes Mohamed Salah, ruled out of today's game due to an ankle injury, could return against Genk in midweek.

“Mo was not ready, that’s how it is,” the manager told Sky Sports.

“He couldn’t train with the team; I don’t know where it came from that everybody said he will play. There was pretty much no chance for today, maybe for Wednesday, we have to see.”

Getting set...

We were granted access to Thursday morning's training session at Melwood as the Reds' international stars returned to begin work ahead of today's game.

Here's how the session shaped up...

The stage is set...

Trent's landmark

Trent Alexander-Arnold made his first Premier League start for Liverpool at Old Trafford during the 2016-17 season.

Since that game, the No.66 has gone on to make 62 more league appearances for the Reds and started back-to-back Champions League finals.

Reflecting on the decision to hand the youngster that starting berth, Klopp said on Friday: "The things he's showing now, that's what I saw.

"That it's possible for him to be a proper Premier League player. I saw signs of that and he worked really hard on it that.

"But I was full of trust and faith. I remember the walk we had and I told him that he will play. He didn't look too surprised, to be honest. Not that he expected it, he was not too nervous.

"I don't remember the game really but it was the first step for him and a very important step for us as well."

Klopp on United

Discussing the expectations around the game, the Reds boss detailed why his side must be ready for a United team who will be determined to prove a point this afternoon.

"We have to be very, very lively, we have to be emotional as much as allowed, we have to be fluent, we have to be very clear in a lot of moments, and we have to respect their strength - and that's what we do," he said at his press conference.

"This is a really good football team in a situation they don't like, so they want to change it. We have to make sure if they want to change it, they have to start that a week later."

Key battles

Last time out

It has been 15 long days since the Reds were in action.

Here are the highlights from the dramatic 2-1 victory over Leicester City at Anfield...

Stat attack

• Klopp's side have lost only once in the last eight meetings with United - at Old Trafford two seasons ago.
• Should the Reds take all three points, it will be the first time ever that they have won their first five away matches of a league season.
• Twelve goals have been scored by Liverpool substitutes against Manchester United in league football. Only Stoke (13) have conceded more to Reds players coming off the bench, with Fulham also 12. 
• Liverpool are currently unbeaten in 12 away league games since the defeat across Manchester at the Etihad in January.

Matip's assessment 

Joel Matip knows exactly what this fixture means to Kopites, having sensed the excitement surrounding it for some time now.

The defender, who signed a new long-term contract on Friday, told Liverpoolfc.com: "The two games against United are kind of the biggest games for Liverpool supporters and you feel this in the week before or maybe in the two weeks before.

"We have to be ready to get the opportunity. We are focused every game but I think for everybody it's also a special game. 

"Both teams want to win and they have a different point of view for the game, but it doesn't matter how it looks for them.

"We only concentrate on our things and we want to win and that's the most important point."

Team news

The teamsheets will drop at 3.30pm BST, but here's what we know so far...

Klopp said on Friday that Liverpool would have to assess the fitness of Alisson Becker, Joel Matip and Mohamed Salah ahead of the game.

"Better - how good, we have to see, that's the truth," was the manager's assessment of the trio's fitness as he reported no fresh injuries for the rest of the squad.

For United, meanwhile, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told journalists it is unlikely goalkeeper David de Gea will feature as a result of an injury picked up during the international break.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka could return from illness, but it remains to be seen whether Paul Pogba will recover from an ankle issue in time. 

Anthony Martial (thigh), Jesse Lingard and Luke Shaw (both hamstring), Diogo Dalot (thigh) and Mason Greenwood (back) are doubts.
