FT: Man Utd 0-0 Liverpool, Arsenal win Southampton

• FT: Man Utd 0-0 Liverpool 
• Mata, Herrera, Lingard limp off
• McTominay replaces Matic
• Van Dijk returns, Milner in

This has to be seen as a missed opportunity for Liverpool, who were so lacklustre in forward areas. They created nothing and although they go top, the performance won’t have worried Manchester City.

United had to make three changes due to injuries before half-time but they were rarely under pressure. Another tick in the box for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who set his team up thwart Liverpool in the second half. Stay tuned for reaction.

• FT: Arsenal 2-0 Southampton
• Lacazette fires in from close-range (6)
• Mkhitaryan slots in second (17)
• Aubameyang, Ozil on bench, Mustafi starts
• McCarthy, Bertrand dropped

A straightforward win for Arsenal in the end, but it wasn’t without it’s sticky moments against Southampton this afternoon. For the moment at least, the Gunners are going fourth.

Southampton need to pick themselves up, because they’re a point from safety and folded very easily this afternoon.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was left cursing his Manchester United side’s luck after seeing Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard limp off injured during the first half of Sunday’s showdown with arch-rivals Liverpool.

Herrera was the first to depart after going down with what looked to be a hamstring injury around the 20-minute mark.

Solskjaer knew straight way that his game was over, immediately signalling for Andreas Pereira to take his place.

Things soon got worse for the Red Devils as Mata was forced off just minutes later with an ankle injury.

The playmaker was replaced by Lingard, who had himself been rushed back from a hamstring issue to take a place on the bench for the game.

And Solskjaer would soon regret bringing the Englishman into the game as he pulled up 15 minutes later after seeing a one-on-one attempt denied by Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson.

The incredible series of misfortune saw United become the first team to make three substitutions in the first half of a Premier League game since Burnley against  Newcastle in 2015.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was also forced into a first-half substitution after Roberto Firmino went down after playing a pass.

Daniel Sturridge replaced the forward on the half-hour mark after his team-mate seemed to pick up an ankle injury.
