34'
Alexander-Arnold stands up his corner, Lovren rises highest through a crowd of bodies and flicks it on, but it rolls out for a goal-kick.
33'
Liverpool attack from the left, Salah back-heeling the ball into the path of Henderson, who forces the corner. Salah looks really up for this today.
32'
City work the ball to Angelino on the left and he hooks a delightful ball across the face of goal - but there's no one on the end of it.
30'
29'
Post! Angelino works his way through a crowded Liverpool penalty area and pokes the ball at goal, it takes a deflection, bounces off the outside of the post and out for a corner.
28'
Having kept the ball so well, City have been guilty of a few stray passes in the last few minutes.
-
25'
Save! Aguero cuts inside, nutmegging Fabinho, and opens the angle for a right-footed shot but it's at a comfortable height for Alisson who pushes the ball away from goal. And his wait for a first goal at Anfield continues.
-
23'
Sterling is picked out at the far post, a change of pace takes him past Robertson but his cross is blocked.
21'
Chance! Wijnaldum and Mane link up in a mouth-watering move, but the former then curls his side wide, though it took a deflection.
-
19'
City are down, but not out. They are still having plenty of possession. Pep will want his team to stick to the game plan.
17'
City have been very good on the ball but their defensive line has been at sixes and sevens. And against this ruthless Liverpool side you cannot give an inch.
-
15'
Dramatic afternoon at Anfield so far, it's safe to say. Liverpool have had two attacks and have proved clinical. City's defence is all over the place.

13'
GOAAAAAALLLLLL! Liverpool 2-0 Man City: The Reds double their advantage with another textbook counter-attack! Robertson curls a cross from the left, Salah slips in between the City centre-backs and heads past Bravo. Was it offside? Close, but VAR says it stands. City have a mountain to climb!

Another City chance! Liverpool may be ahead on the scoreboard but their defence has left a lot to be desired. De Bruyne swings in another delightful free-kick, but it evades both Aguero and Bernardo.
9'
Chance! Sterling has a wonderful chance to silence the home supporters as he runs in behind to meet De Bruyne's free-kick - but he heads over the bar.

Boom.
