2nd Half
46'
Liverpool kick-off the second half. No changes at the break. The game might not improve, but at least it can't get any worse.
End of 1st Half
45+1'
HT: Liverpool 0-0 Southampton. Much of the same as the last three games between these two, with Liverpool unable to create a single chance of consequence in a dire first half. The Saints haven't even had a shot.
45+1'
One added minute.
45'
In more than five hours of football, Liverpool still haven't scored against Southampton this season.
43'
Romeu flies into a tackle with Origi and goes over the top of the ball but gets away with it as Liverpool are award just a corner, which they waste.
42'
Can lets fly from range but, despite a deflection, his effort is easily saved by Forster.
41'
All very predictable from Liverppol. How much longer before Lallana comes on?
39'
Clyne is hauled to the ground by Boufal but, bizarrely, the referee lets play continue. Home fans not happy.

38'
That a wattle bottle is currently the biggest point of discussion says a lot about this match.
36'
Gabbiadini brings down Matip as the defender shepherds the ball out of play and the referee wants to have a word with him about that, but takes no further action.
35'
Four attempts so fat from Liverpool - two of them on target - whereas Southampton are yet to have a shot.
34'
Firmino holds off Ward-Prowse to makes some space, run towards goal and then shoot from 25 yards but he doesn't get much power behind the shot and Forster saves.
32'
Can trips Tadic and, after a delay, the referee gives Southampton a free-kick causing an irate Klopp to throw a wattle bottle around on the touchline.
28'
Southampton's first corner of the game causes some confusion in the Liverpool box, but the hosts are awarded a free-kick to relieve the pressure.
27'
Very little happening here, but in other news Brighton appear to have thrown away the Championship title.
24'
Countinho, who has previous when it comes to scoring stunners against Southampton, tries to repeat the trick with a curling effort from 25 yards but it's straight at Forster.
21'
Milner cuts onto his right foot and whips a cross towards the back post where Forster claims comfortably.
19'
Liverpool up the tempo a bit and have Southampton pinned by their own right corner flag, but are unable to work an opening.
16'
Hmm...
