WEST HAM PRESSURE
Cresswell has plenty of men in the box but can't deliver. It's worked to the other flank but Johnson's cross drifts behind. Relief all around Anfield.

FIVE MINUTES ADDED
Still time for West Ham to rescue it.

JOTA BOOKED
Liverpool survive some dangerous deliveries from the right before breaking. Only a great interception from Lanzini denies them an opening for a clincher.
Jota then makes a tactical foul to pick up a caution.

CAN THE MERSEYSIDERS CLOSE THE GAP AT THE TOP?
Remember, a win would move Klopp's men to within three points of City having played the same number of games. City face neighbours United tomorrow.
86'
A LATE WEST HAM SURGE
Jota hacks it high into the air from just outside his own penalty area. There are hardly any Liverpool players forward to chase.
We've got a big couple of minutes in the title race ahead here. Can the Reds hang on?

WEST HAM CAN'T QUITE FIND THE FINISH
You can hear the anxiety growing inside Anfield. The visitors are a major threat when they counter at speed but haven't found the right pass or touch in the box to make it count - yet...
80'
SUPERB DEFENDING OR POOR FINISHING?
Antonio escapes down the right and charges towards goal. Keita and Robertson rampages back and somehow stop the Hammers forward from scoring.
79'
LIVERPOOL CHANGE
Salah looks irritated as he is replaced by Jota. To be fair, Mane and Diaz have looked more dangerous tonight.

DAZZLING DIAZ
The Colombian charges down the left and feeds Robertson on the overlap. The cut back evades everyone but Diaz rescues it, exchanges passes with TAA and lashes a 20-yarder just wide.

VIDEO: HOW DID HE MISS?
Look away now Manuel.

SHOTS BLOCKED!
Liverpool look to make the most of the let off but Mane sees two shots blocked in quick succession.
