Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of what should be the Premier League clash between Manchester United and Liverpool at Old Trafford. However, the pre-match countdown has descended into a bit of chaos following the disruption of protests from United supporters in response to the ESL and the club’s owners. Kick off was due for 16.30 BST, but there have been serious doubts raised as to whether the game will even go ahead at this point. We'll keep you posted as the story continues to develop.

Solskjaer: “If you want to take up the challenge with them (Man City) we need to strengthen our squad. We want to take the next step and it might be that we need a couple more to strengthen the squad."

Klopp on United’s 10 changes v Leicester: “It is not the fault of Ole and the players. My question to myself was: 'would I have done the same? Yes'. You have to. You have to. We are late in the season, all the players played a lot of games. United went to the Europa League final so that means an awful lot of games and now you get Sunday-Tuesday-Thursday. That is not possible."

Man United make 10 changes from their 2-1 defeat versus Leicester. Eric Bailly is the only player to retain his spot in the line up as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer names a strong team.

CONFIRMED TEAMS - MAN UTD: Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Bailly, Shaw, Fred, Pogba, McTominay, Fernandes, Rashford, Cavani... Subs: De Gea, Mata, Greenwood, Traore, Telles, Matic, B Williams, Van de Beek, Tuanzebe. /// LIVERPOOL: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, R Williams, Robertson, Thiago, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Salah, Jota, Firmino... Subs: Adrian, Kelleher, Mane, Jones, Tsimikas, Shaqiri, Origi, Woodburn, N Williams.

There are still fans protesting in the vicinity of Old Trafford but it is not as chaotic as with the disruption on Sunday May 2.

Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of the rearranged fixture between Manchester United and Liverpool at Old Trafford. It’s 11 days on from the postponement due to fan protests and the Red Devils are seeking a win that would guarantee them second spot while the Merseysiders desperately need the points to maintain their late push for a top-four finish. There have been protests once again this evening, but Liverpool have arrived and it looks like we are going to have some football. Kick off 20.15 BST.

That's it for our live updates today. Stay logged on to Eurosport.co.uk for all the post-statement news and details of when a new date for Man United v Liverpool is announced.

Manchester United statement: "Following discussion between the Police, the Premier League, Trafford Council and the clubs, our match against Liverpool has been postponed due to safety and security considerations around the protest today. Discussions will now take place with the Premier League on a revised date for the fixture. Our fans are passionate about Manchester United, and we completely acknowledge the right to free expression and peaceful protest. However, we regret the disruption to the team and actions which put other fans, staff, and the police in danger. We thank the police for their support and will assist them in any subsequent investigations."

Man Utd v Liverpool - postponed. A reminder why this game didn't take place this evening.

BREAKING NEWS: The match has been postponed. Discussions are now taking place to arrange a new date for the fixture.

It's been confirmed that supporters have now been dispersed from around the Lowry hotel area and police just need to co-ordinate safely getting the squads to the ground. There is no update on this happening at present though so the wait goes on as to whether we'll actually see some football this evening.

VIDEO: United fans protested outside Old Trafford earlier.

OPINION: The Glazer family will be tempted to ignore the protests of Manchester United fans on Sunday but they should not count on the demonstrations being over, writes Alexander Netherton.

More from Neville: The ex-United defender launched another devastating assessment of the Glazer family’s ownership of Manchester United after seeing the fans invade Old Trafford.

The 18.30 BST kick off time that was rumoured earlier is going to be cutting it fine if there's no movement in terms of the team hotels very soon. It's simply a waiting game at the moment. It'd be interesting to see at what it would be deemed too late to continue tonight....

And still we wait for some news. There are suggestions that there remain supporters around the team hotels and therefore the two squads still haven't departed for the ground. Surely a decision about kick off needs to made imminently here.

Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville are making an interesting point about the players on Sky Sports. They are saying it's not ideal to gauge a pre-match meal, sit around for hours and get the right mindset following such a lengthy disruption. Some will no doubt want to just get on with it, but that won't be the case for everyone. They could suggest coming back the following day, but given the intensity of schedules (United visit Roma on Thursday) no one will want that.

There has been an announcement inside Old Trafford stating that the ground is now secure and people can return to their respective areas of work. Still no news on the team arrivals yet.

Some supporters are suggesting the manner of the protests wasn't the way to do it. However, others are claiming that less drastic approaches in the past have fallen on deaf ears. Fans wants the owners to hear them and whatever you think of it, delaying kick off for one of the biggest games in the season certainly gets attention.

It seems there is more optimism that this match will go ahead at some point this evening. It's being reported that the PL are determined to make it happen. Once we have confirmation of a potential kick off time, we'll post it in this live.
