Two arrests were made during Liverpool's 3-1 Premier League victory over Manchester United on Sunday.
Merseyside Police have confirmed that two men - aged 21 and 25 respectively, and both Manchester United supporters - were arrested inside Anfield during the match.
They were arrested for throwing an item, believed to be plastic bottles. This is contrary to Section 2 of the Football Offences Act, 1991.
Goals from Sadio Mane and Xherdan Shaqiri saw Liverpool run out 3-1 winners at Anfield as they returned to the top of the Premier League.
Manchester United remain sixth in the table but are now 11 points off a top-four place and 19 points behind Liverpool after their worst start to a top-flight season since the 1990-91 campaign.
In a separate incident, Greater Manchester Police have confirmed one man was arrested at Saturday's game between Manchester City and Everton at the Etihad Stadium. It followed an incident where a bottle was thrown from the section of the ground where Everton supporters were situated.
