Follow live coverage of the Europa League last-32 clash between Zenit St Petersburg and Liverpool, kick off 5pm Uk time.

The corner is cleared but Liverpool come again as Carra aims a long ball to Sterling, Anyukov beats him to it but Henderson dispossesses Hulk and Liverpool have a throw on the left wing.

JOHNSON ALMOST SCORES A WONDERGOAL! He runs all the way from his own half, beating four men including a nutmeg on Lombaerts, but his finish is deflected wide off the keeper for a corne!

Hulk takes on Carragher who shuts him down and forces him on to his weaker right.

Both sides trade ineffectual attacks in the early stages of this half.

The second half is underway!

More on the attacks - no-one seriously injured thankfully, with security staff at a local bar fighting off a group of around 40 Zenit hooligans who attacked some Liverpool fans who were enjoying a pre-match drink.

Getting reports that Liverpool fans have been attacked in St Petersburg. Can't say I'm surprised!

Half-time and it's goalless, but there have been plenty of chances!

Hulk with a poor cross aimed for Kerzhakov but nowhere near him and easy for Reina.

Two minutes added time being played.

Downing on the right cuts inside and has a dig with his preferred right foot but this one flies well over.

Shirokov finds Witsel on the edge of the box, he shoots but Skrtel blocks well.

Hulk and Spalletti are convinced they should have a corner off Skrtel but the linesman disagrees.

Gerrard lofts a long ball for Suarez, but Neto and Anyukov shut him out. Great pass from Gerrard.

Liverpool fans will always defend Suarez but that was silly, Balotelli esque. Ok fine if you score, but if you put it wide then questions will be asked.

SUAREZ MISSES A SITTER! Rodgers will be furious as he went for a spectacular backheel when he should have just poked it in! Downing on the right slid a cute reverse pass for Allen, his cross almost swung in, Sterling picked it up and cut the ball across for Suarez who - with just the keeper to beat - went for a show-stopper when a straightforward finish would have sufficed!

Enrique and Gerrard combine down the left but the final ball is overhit and Zenit have a goal kick.

Hubocan with a cross from the left but easy for Reina. Should have done better after getting the best of Johnson.

Liverpool with a free-kick just short of halfway and Enrique's ball, aimed for Suarez, rolls back to the keeper as the Uruguay striker and Neto collide. Suarez wants a foul but nothing in that.

Neto has to pump it out for a throw after Johnson and Sterling combine. Johnson runs it down the right but Hubocan gets goal side of him and shepherds it out for a goal kick.

Hulk miscontrols a long ball and it slides out for a goal kick.
