Manchester's kick off but the ball didn't get to far away from the halfway line. Gerrard gave a foul away which Beckham took the free kick and it hit the wall and went out for a corner. Liverpool has just given away another free kick but he missed as the ball went over.

The ball went out for a free kick but the ref didn't give and Liverpool got the ball cleared. Liverpool has now got a free kick on the edge of the box and Murphy took it but the ball went straight into the wall. United with a chance but the ball was cleared by Carragher. I think Manchester look like the team who are on top at the moment.

Manchester is on the attack a lot and Liverpool are finding it hard to keep the ball out. The ball keeps moving from team to team and the game is keeping very tense. Manchester United is getting the most chances at the moment and Liverpool is keeping up the good work to keep it clear.

Liverpool got a free kick near the edge of the box which was taken by Gerrard which only just went wide for a corner, which was cleared then Man U had a chance but the ball went wide.

Murphy and Heskey came together but the ball was shot and Barthez saved it. Man U with a really good chance but the ball just went straight past the mouth of the goal.
