Liverpool v Man Utd

Minute-by-minute report: Alex Ferguson stands between Liverpool and the win they need to keep their season alive - follow the action with Sean Ingle NOW
Preamble: Good afternoon everyone. During the 1970s and 1980s, it was entirely possible to come from way off the pace at Christmas and win the league - as Liverpool proved time and time again. These days I'm not sure that's possible, which is why today's game is huge for Rafa Benitez's side. Win and they're right back in the mix. Lose and they're nine points off the pace and surely heading for their 18th season in a row without a league title. The stakes, like a pile-'em-high eaterie in Argentina, couldn't be much higher.
