GOAL! Liverpool 1-0 Man City (Gakpo, 12)

IT'S BEEN COMING!!

City just couldn't keep Liverpool out. They've been ripped apart from minute one and now they trail.

City's high line is breached as Salah scampers down the right and delivers a brilliant cross for Cody Gakpo to score from a yard out at the far post.

FPL assist: Mohamed Salah

Sky Sports' Gary Neville:

"It is a 0-0 battering so far."

12: OFF THE POST!! Liverpool take the corner short as Mac Allister swings it towards the far post where Van Dijk rises but his header slams against the inside of the post!

"Trent gestures towards the Anfield crowd as if he wants more noise. They respond. It can't get much louder..."

Liverpool 0-0 Man City

4 mins: Great save!

Big chance for Liverpool, as Diaz plays Gakpo clean through on goal.

Takes a while to get the shot away, chopping inside and eventually he forces Ortega to tip it behind.

Offside flag up anyway.

Liverpool 0-0 Man City

2 mins: Liverpool have already gone long a few times, not really trying to play through the City press in the early minutes.

Salah has his first chance to run with it, inside onto his left foot and the whipped cross is through everyone and out of play.

KICK-OFF!

Up and running!

Man City win the toss and have switched ends, so Liverpool will attack the Kop in the first-half.

5 MINUTES AGO

Huge roar as the teams walk out. Brilliant atmosphere, as you’d expect.

Liverpool swatted aside Real Madrid in midweek. Could take a major step towards the title over the next week - Man City today, away trips to Newcastle and Everton next up.

Win all of those and the expectation will rise massively.

9 MINUTES AGO

Here we go!

Teams are in the tunnel at Anfield.

Liverpool absolutely flying, Man City in no form at all... everything points to a home win.

But City surely have to come good at some point. A win today and everything completely turns around.
