Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage from Anfield where table-toppers Liverpool entertain Southampton in the Premier League.

Iago Aspas launches a hopeful cross in the general direction of Moses, but Boruc comes and claims.

On second glance it still looks like a penalty. Lovren didn't get anything on the ball.

Sturridge hits the deck in the area under pressure from Dejan Lovren. Must be a penalty... Neil Swarbrick says no.

Gerrard rifles in a free-kick from the left flank but it evades everyone and ends up in the arms of Boruc.

Liverpool break immediately and Victor Moses is in on goal. Boruc is off his line, will he attempt the chip? No! Luke Shaw recovers brilliantly to win the ball. Few cries for a penalty from the ardent Reds faithful, but that was a superb challenge.

Lallana whips it in towards Fonte but the Saints defender is beaten to the ball by a red shirt.

Martin Skrtel smashes Clyne's cross out for a corner.

Liverpool playing a pretty dangerous game trying to pass their way out of trouble. Nearly been caught a couple of times.

Daniel Sturridge is flagged for offside. He's yet to get himself amongst the action. Still plenty of time, of course.

Mauricio Pochettino has got his side playing some lovely stuff. Lallana outfoxes Henderson to find Lambert but the forward can't get any power into his left-footed effort.

For those of you wondering, Operation Anfield Exercise has just been commenced. Nothing happened.

Gerrard tries to send Henderson down the right flank but the latter slips and the ball rolls out for a goalkick.

But it comes to nothing as Osvaldo is adjudged to have fouled Agger.

Now it's Southampton's turn to attack as they force a throw in down the right flank.

Gerrard lines up the free-kick but unleashing a whipped strike at goal. It looks to be destined for the top corner but Artur Boruc pulls off an incredible save to deny the Liverpool and England skipper.

A worrying tannoy announcment declares: 'Stand by for Operation Anfield Exercise'. Wonder what that could be? Back to the pitch... Free-kick to the Reds on the edge of the area.

Much better from the hosts as they spray it about the Anfield turf confidentally. Too confidentally... Mignolet almost hands the ball straight to an opponent. Gets away with it.

Great interception from Daniel Agger prevents Lambert finding Lallana in space. The trio of Lambert, Lallana and Osvaldo are causing Liverpool problems.

Kolo Toure attempts the slowest dribble in history but it almost works as he pokes it past two Southampton shirts before finally he's tackled.

Bright start to this match but no major chances to report. You'd have to say that Southampton are looking the stronger.

Lambert fancies grabbing himself a goal this afternoon, as you'd expect, considering he's a striker. That's not how to go about it though, Rickie. His shot balloons wide.
