90+4 United take their time over the short free-kick... they win a corner which will be taken short... But the final whistle is blown! United shade it 2-1, but they should have won more comfortably. Wayne Rooney made the difference in the end but Luis Suarez had his say in more ways than one!
90+3 Adam with a super cross AND SUAREZ but he heads wide with De Gea flapping - flag was up, he was offside.
90+2 Rafael clears Bellamy's free-kick, and it lands for JOHNSON WITH THE DRIVE but tipped over by De Gea! Fine save!
80' GOAL LIVERPOOL! Liverpool have a free-kick a good 30 yards out, Adam to put it in - great ball that goes all the way through and Suarez scores from close range! Ferdinand's block landed in his path!
79' Suarez is fouled by Carrick from behind and he will be booked.
75' LIVERPOOL SUB: Kuyt comes off, Adam in his place as Kenny looks for more possession.
73' Good play by United as Giggs's low ball almost finds Rooney, and it struck with venom by Welbeck 12 yards out but Johnson got a good block in and it bounces into Reina's arms.
64' Some of you are saying it's 'game over' - but if you saw Chelsea-United last week you would know anything is possible in the Premier League. Have your say on Twitter @Reda_Eurosport... FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER!
61' LIVERPOOL SUBS: Spearing off for Carroll; Bellamy finally makes an entrance for Downing.
60' Bizarre miss from Rooney as, having been put in by a Scholes step-over from Valencia's low cross, he shanks it wide! Should have been his hat-trick.
58' Piledriver from Rooney into the top left from range but the whistle had gone for an Evans foul. He got the ball but slid in two-footed.
49' GOAL UNITED! Rooney again! Sliding a low finish through Reina's legs after a superb run and low cross from Valencia. Spearing gave the ball away!
47' GOAL UNITED! Rooney with a sweet volley from close range after Liverpool failed to clear the corner!
46' The second half is underway. Doesn't appear to have been any changes.
- Ok, I'm not going to talk about the handshake incident in the second half unless it boils over on the pitch, or there is a substitution at half time. Let's talk about football now. Please. FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER!
45+1 Half time and United's players are not happy with Suarez - Dowd intervenes, nothing actually happened just a bit moody.
45' Great tackle by Ferdinand on Suarez after he raced in following an error by Evra - Suarez is livid though, demanding a free-kick and a red card.
44' Rafael is chopped down by Downing while in full flight on the right: Downing is booked.
32' Liverpool clear the corner but United come again - Welbeck in wide left but his low cross is nicked away by Agger just in time! Rooney would have tapped it in! Maybe should have shot, Welbeck.
31' SCHOLES WITH A CLOSE-RANGE HEADER BUT BATTED AWAY BY REINA! Lovely passing football by United - Scholes involved to release Giggs down the left - and a trademark late run from Scholes but too close to the keeper. Corner.
- @thompson_oliver: "I'm the biggest liverpool fan but suarez as a person is despicable, starting with wc handball, bite, and now this saga..." FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER!
18' Rafael is forward, cutting inside from the right to shoot and Welbeck almost flicks it past Reina, the Spaniard holding on!
12' @andrevvrees: "as a 'pool fan, i love suarez, but his attitude is getting on my nerves. just shake his hand, he's just stirring it up again." HAVE YOUR SAY ON TWITTER!
9' Gerrard with a through-ball to Suarez, he lays it off but heavily; it lands for Johnson on the right wing - he cuts inside Evra too easily, and drives in a bouncing low shot that flies across goal and inches wide of the back stick! Fine effort from Johnson.
1' The first half is underway. Ferdinand collides with Evra and is down holding his head - he was pushed by Suarez, into Evra.
12:44 What do you think about Suarez's refusal to shake Evra's hand? Let me know, and please keep it clean(ish). ON TWITTER!
12:43 Suarez - what a fool. He just refused to shake Evra's hand, with the Frenchman offering his hand and reacting angrily to the snub. I don't care what your club affiliations are but to continue to play the victim when you've been found guilty of a racial incident is just stupid. He's just made it worse - again.
12:30 'If you were Bellamy' question gets a first-person response from @ipademojisola: "I play for the team glory, am 32, play lots of times in suarez absence so managing me is vital against burn out" HAVE YOUR SAY ON TWITTER!
12:15 How would you feel if you were Craig Bellamy right now? Arguably Liverpool's best player since Suarez's absence, he is relegated to the bench on his return. It almost doesn't matter how well Bellamy plays, he's just never seen as number one at the big clubs. Have your say on Twitter @Reda_Eurosport... FOLLOW HERE!

Adam should get ahead of Spearing on the team sheet. I appreciate Dalglish giving Spearing an opportunity but I think its clear he lacks the quality Liverpool need. Downing needs to show more quality too. I think Maxi, Gerrard, Adam and Henderson should be first choice barring injuries. Otherwise i fear we will fall short.

Regarding the situation, it was highly unlikely that we win this one. Weak strikers , so weak that we draw against the likes of Norwich, sunderland and blackburn in Anfield. Until when should we wait for a bright season . Pity when Rafa left, our European position also went on demise immediately.

hahaha liverpool... what u did u get back.... that karma.....

I now find it offensive the abuse towards Suarez has been taken too far. I am unsure what an Uraguan said in spanish to a Frenchman playing in the premiership but remain convinced that no matter how nasty it was most probably it was heat of the moment a one off, and only the FA could equate it as proof of racialism thats because it suits there idea of political correctness, another crass attempt by them to show us all just how far they are prepared to go to support minority groups (god help terry) rather than exercise common sense. There action of severe punishment has made suarez a target for all those who feel rerebution is still required. I noticed ferdinand took the oppotunity not to shake hands, and I am still trying to convince myself that the first tackle involving the three non hand shakers was not attempted murder. lets hope the latest apologies from the liverpool camp will nip this stupidity in the bud someone must

my god u Manure fans have short memorys, all of a sudden liverpool are destined for nothing, you got knocked out of the FA cup by us at anfield a fortnight ago, ure out of every cup competition, and city will beat u to the league - nothing for fergie and his mugs this season. LFC unlucky, but united deserved to win the game

so it's okay for rooney to bang old prossies, gets fined for going for something to eat, giggs has an affair with his BROTHERS girlfriend, cantona attacks rival fans, and just because suarez didnt shake 'liar' evras hand he should never play for liverpool again, he's a hypocrite....united are no strangers to controversy YNWA

scholes for england !

I am proud to be a Manchester United Fan.............I love what we do at old trafford and beyond. Big ups to sir Alex Ferguson for making us the proud fans that we are. Lynda Zimmie

Forget the racism, put it to bed, just be happy that Manchester United..19 times Champions are "19" points clear of the bin-dippers with 13 games to go...lol
Over 100million spent since KK took over from Woy, and I think they have gone backwards...
King Kenny the manager from yesteryear...and they still pine for the Fat Waiter...

Hard luck Red Men the two early goals after half time killed it.
13 games left to get 4th, still doable.
Keep up the good work.

BREAKING NEWS; luis suarez has been arrested for the murder of Whitney Houston in a racialy motivated attack. Eye witness Patrice Evra says he saw Suarez kill her at least 10 times. Sir Alex Ferguson has called for the death penalty. Kenny Dalglish says he never heard of Whitney Houston and has actualy questioned weather she actualy exists. Howard Webb says he saw everything!!

@candyman
you're right, the club, the players and the manager perfectly suit each other....no class...most footballers come from working class, poor ones...but maybe the ones playing for liverpool came from a family with a mentality worse than slaves?

Suarez apology is not accepted, he behaved as if he was the victim, he is a racist from the transcript of the incident by the FA, Suarez said in Spanish "yo no hablo con Negros" which in English means " i dont speak with Blacks". I speak Latin American Spanish fluently. He is not showing any remorse for his action. FA should fine him for "unsportsmanlike conduct". He also a disgrace to Liverpool FC after promising to shake hand with Evra before the game.

Yet again the staggering hypocrisy of Ferguson shows its self again. he accuses other clubs and players of disgraceful behaviour and says nothing of himself and his own players.
I'm thinking of Roy Keane admiting to trying to 'end the carear of another player as revenge for a previous fowl on him',
Ferdinand missing a drugs test because he was 'out shopping with his wife',
Cantona attacking a fan in the stands,
and Giggs shagging his brothers wife for years while playing goody two shoes to the public.
Also I'd like to hear his response if Evra ever led a player mutiny against Ferguson as he did against the France manager in the last world cup for which he received a five match ban-not the sort of person you would trust at a disciplinary hearing is he? . Evra is possibly the biggest disgrace of all when it comes to professional behaviour on and off the pitch.

Ferguson said before the game that he and evra hadn't discussed the handshake between suarez and then after the game he said he did.

Suarez should have shaken evra's hand but evra shouldn't have been jumping around celebrating in front of suarez's face, trying to make suarez react and did you know evra tried to get into the liverpool changing room

qwertrty

It was descarceful as sir alex fergison said that luis suarez did not shack evras hand. He should put all of the bad behind him and shake evras hand!
