Liverpool missed the chance to move back to the top of the Premier League as Manchester United held them to a 0-0 draw at Anfield.

Arsenal had earlier beaten Brighton 2:0 to move to the top of the league.

Jurgen Klopp’s side were favourite to win and pushed throughout but found United in resolute mood.

Virgil van Dijk’s header in the first half and Luis Diaz’s header after the interval were as close as Liverpool came to the breakthrough.

United keeper Andre Onana made one fine first-half save from Virgil van Dijk, while Rasmus Hojlund had the visitors’ best chance in the second half but saw his shot blocked at the near post by Liverpool’s Alisson.
