Anfield Cat is back as Liverpool draw with Manchester United – but was the kitty the highlight of the entire game?
LIVERPOOL fans braced themselves for the return of Manchester United – but they also got the return of the infamous Anfield Cat.
A different feline was spotted roaming around the touchline ahead of the crunch Monday Night Football game in front of 54,000 fans, the third one in recent years.

A tabby – although not the same one as before – was spotted running around in front of the Kop in 2012, when the Reds played out a 0-0 draw with Tottenham.
And in 2014 Liverpool beat Swansea 4-1 with a different kitty again getting on the pitch.

In truth the fixtures wasn't a classic Liverpool v Manchester United encounter that we have come to expect in recent years.
But Jose Mourinho would have been purring at the defensive performance of United, who restricted free-scoring Liverpool to only a couple of chances the entire game.
Meanwhile Reds keeper Loris Karius looked in a bit of a Kop flap during the game, not looking comfortable with facing United in front of a boisterous Anfield.
