- Manchester United temporarily moved top of the table after goalless draw at Liverpool
- David De Gea provided one of the best saves of his career to deny Joel Matip in the first half
Manchester United put in a defensive shift to thwart the attacking threat of Liverpool as both sides played a goalless draw at Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp's side are now with just one win in eight matches while United move one point ahead of Manchester City ahead of their game against Stoke City.

Romelu Lukaku meanwhile was unable to make it eight goals in as many top-flight games for Mourinho's men when he fumbled a one-on-one opportunity on the stroke of half-time.

If it was mildly perplexing to see a side in such previously prolific goalscoring form isolate Lukaku for long periods before the break, the second period descended into a Liverpool attack versus United defence.
Jurgen Klopp's men were unable to find a way through and have now won just one out of eight in all competitions – Mourinho must hope he does not regret showing so much respect to opponents in such form come May.
