20:00 GMT - We're wrapping up the tracker for now, thanks for joining us!

19:34 GMT - Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim almost echoed Fernandes' earlier comments about wanting to see more of these performances from his players.

"I think it is really clear," Amorim told Sky Sports. "When we are focused, when we fight for every ball, when we suffer and we are tired when the game is finished, we are a good team.

"If we don't do that all the time then we are going to lose games. That is clear to everybody.

"We controlled very well the tempo of the game. Every time Liverpool had a chance, we controlled and had the ball for a moment. That makes a difference.

"You could see in the game, it was not like we are not suffering all the time because we controlled the ball, sometimes winning some fouls, controlling the transitions. It was a good game."

19:22 GMT - Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister told Sky Sports his side were not good enough to win today.

"The result is not good enough," Mac Allister said. "The performance was not as good as we wanted but at the end of the day it was a fair result.

"We didn't play as we wanted and conceded too many chances and had opportunities to score more goals.

"The effort was there, the mentality was there because we came back but when you're 2-1 at 75 minutes you have to defend better and we couldn't do it so we have to think about what we did wrong and move on."

19:20 GMT - Frustrated Bruno Fernandes said if Manchester United can perform at Anfield they must "do it everywhere" after the crisis-hit side secured a 2-2 draw against Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday.

"I'm pretty upset," Fernandes told Sky Sports.

"If we show this level at Liverpool, first in the league, why can't we do this everywhere? It frustrates me. Also, finally I did a proper performance. We said we need much more from ourselves to get more from this season."

Liverpool have been flying this term and can go eight points clear with a game in hand with victory this afternoon, and things couldn't be more different for their opponents.

United are toiling down in 14th under Ruben Amorim and have lost four in a row – three in the league.

14:01 GMT - Fulham get things going against Ipswich at a damp and dreary Craven Cottage.

13:35 GMT - Liverpool and Manchester United fans will have held two very different perspectives about whether their match should go ahead later given both clubs' contrasting Premier League fortunes this term.

In some pre-game shenanigans, former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher was doing his bit to clear the snow off the Anfield turf, while ex-United man Gary Neville was attempting to reverse his efforts!

13:00 GMT - We've got the teams for the day's first game between Fulham and Ipswich:

Saturday, January 4th

20:20 GMT - That's it from us tonight. Hopefully, new England boss Thomas Tuchel isn't tuckered out from watching two games today. Bit keen if you ask me. Wonder where he might pop up tomorrow?

20:14 GMT - Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said his side must be more clinical after they conceded a late equaliser in a disappointing 1-1 Premier League draw at Crystal Palace on Saturday.

"Probably we did enough to win the game today," Maresca told reporters. "Between the first half and second half, I think we created chances enough to win the game.

"But in football you need to be clinical, otherwise the game is always open."

19:45 GMT - Pep Guardiola said Manchester City's 4-1 thrashing of West Ham on Saturday was a "release" for his players but that the English champions are still a shadow of their former selves.

City had won just once in 13 games prior to last weekend's 2-0 win at Leicester to realistically end any hope of extending their unprecedented four consecutive league titles.

"No. I'm happier to win but we are still not like we were for different reasons. The result will help. We struggle, but it is a release," said Guardiola.

Read more of Guardiola's post-match comments here.

19:42 GMT - Leeds missed the chance to pull three points clear at the top of English football's second-tier Championship after Abu Kamara's dramatic late equaliser for Hull ensured a 3-3 draw on Saturday.

Kamara opened the scoring before Ao Tanaka drew Leeds level from the edge of the penalty area early in the second half.

Further goals from Dan James and Joel Piroe looked to have given fallen English giants Leeds all three points.

But Joao Pedro gave Hull a lifeline with nine minutes to go, before Kamara was on target again in the 89th minute.

19:36 GMT - Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou came out fighting after another damaging Premier League defeat on Saturday, lauding his injury-hit team's performance and venting his frustration at the injustice of it all.

"I'm just really, really angry, angriest I think I have ever been in my career that they were denied the right rewards for a fantastic performance," he said afterwards.

"Don't keep asking me about the decision. If you guys have no opinion about it that's fine. I know you just want me to say something but I'm not going to. I think it's clear. Now whether people agree with me or not whether it wasn't handball or it was accidental, I'm just not interested in any of that discussion."

19:33 GMT - That result leaves Arsenal five points off Liverpool at the top of the Premier League.

Arne Slot's Reds could go eight points clear if they beat Manchester United tomorrow.
