A massive 4.8 million fans tuned in for Liverpool vs. Manchester United, making the top-of-the-table Premier League clash the most watched game in Britain on Sky Sports.

An average of 4.5 million viewers watched the goalless draw at Anfield on Sunday - with 4.8 viewers tuning in for the final five minutes.

Sky have revealed it is the biggest audience for a match shown only on their channel in Britain.

They have also said that only Game of Thrones has recorded bigger viewing figures than the 0-0 draw between the two English giants.

The stalemate moves ahead of the previous most viewed fixture between the two Manchester clubs in 2012.

Vincent Kompany headed home his side's match winner against United in a fixture watched by 4.3 million viewers on Sky Sports.

Fans who tuned in on Sunday were ultimately disappointed as Liverpool and United played out a fairly lacklustre draw.

United remain at the top of the league with 37 points on the board, three points ahead of fourth-placed Liverpool.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Jurgen Klopp will renew hostilities on Sunday when their teams face off in the FA Cup at Old Trafford.
