Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.
Liverpool vs Manchester City
There's a real lack of movement when City are in possession, it's so uncharacteristic from the champions. Kovacic's pass intended for Haaland is cut out, but Liverpool's break is stopped at source by Walker.

Walker receives some treatment following that coming-together before City restart with a goal-kick. You sense the visitors would be content to leave Anfield with a point now.

It's attack against defence here! Robertson heads a searching pass down to Mac Allister, who just can't sort his feet out and get his shot away under pressure from Walker. He's claiming he was pulled back, but there was nothing in that.

Mac Allister swings the corner onto the head of Van Dijk… but he directs his effort over the bar from around 10 yards out. Liverpool still look far more likely to find a winner.

That's incredible stuff from Diaz! The Colombian bursts between Rodri and Walker, leaving the former in a heap before coming back for more against Walker, sitting him down with a nice piece of skill before winning a corner. He's missed some great chances, but his general play has been outstanding.

SAVE! Quansah steps out of defence and decides to go it alone, lashing a low shot at goal from 25 yards out. It skips off the wet surface and Ortega does well, not only by getting a glove to it but also by pushing it away from the lurking Salah! Ten minutes to play.
Liverpool vs Manchester City
It is staggering just how lacklustre City have been in the second half. They have looked rattled by Liverpool's high press, but they've also moved the ball with no urgency or sense of control. This stadium does funny things to Guardiola's men!
Liverpool vs Manchester City
Doku inches his way to the left corner of the box before seeing a weak effort deflect off Gomez and roll straight to Kelleher. His team-mates are frustrated with his decision to go it alone.
Liverpool vs Manchester City
Liverpool have scored 10 Premier League goals in the 90th minute of matches this season, their joint-most in a single season (also 10 in 2008-09). Are we set for another dramatic finish here? The Reds have been excellent since half-time.
Liverpool vs Manchester City
Walker slides in on Salah on halfway and catches the top of the Egyptian's boot. There's a VAR check in the background to ascertain whether the challenge was red card-worthy, but the contact was minimal. No further action is taken, which is the right decision.
