Arsenal sit at the top of Premier League after a William Gallas header secured a 1-0 win over his former club Chelsea.
Andriy Shevchenko tested new Arsenal number one Maneul Almunia with a curling free kick, while the returing Robin Van Persie had a goal ruled out for offside in an action-packed final few minutes.
Chelsea captain John Terry was forced to come off with a foot injury in the first half, but it was rare mistake by Petr Cech, failing to collect an Arsenal corner, than allowed Gallas to claim the winner at the end of the first half.
In the early kick off there was a sense of deja vu as Man United again beat Liverpool by a single goal at Anfield, despite being second best for long periods.
Ryans Giggs found Wayne Rooney from a corner, and his shot was turned in by Carlos Tevez from close range on the stroke of half time.
Evra and Anderson both cleared Liverpool efforts off the line in a scrappy first half, saving the flapping Van Der Sar.
The result leaves Liverpool 10 points behind league leaders Arsenal, and they look out of the title race already.
Defending champions United in contrast are just one point behing the Gunners, with Chelsea and the resurgent Man City completing the Premier League top four.
