37'
Matip rises to meet Milner's right-wing free kick but can't guide his header on target at the back post.
36'
Both defences have been creaking...
35'
Coutinho is found by Wijnaldum on the left of the area. He cuts in on his right foot past Fernandinho but flashes his curling shot over the bar.
34'
DID YOU KNOW? A win would see Liverpool become the first team to clock up a league double over a side managed by Pep.

31'
Milner marauds to the byline but sees his deep cross easily headed clear. Liverpool have grown into the half.
30'
Clyne manages to get his body in front of Sane to stop the forward in his tracks. He wins a free kick, but has been up against it in this half. Sane knows he has the beating of the Reds full back.
28'
Strong defending by Otamendi. He rises well to firmly head clear and catches Matip in the process. The Reds defender needs some treatment.
27'
A certain German who played for both is enjoying the show so far.
26'
Milner with some composed defending at the back post after more lovely combination play had seen Sane get free and deliver another testing, low cross from the left.
25'
Mane spins onto a loose ball in the left channel. He wins the sprint race with Otamendi but can't beat the advancing Caballero. Fair play to the City defender, he did enough to stay with Mane and put him off at the vital moment.
24'
Caballero flaps at a left-wing cross.... it falls for Mane who sees his low drive blocked. Let off for the City keeper.
23'
That was a nasty challenge from Toure. Dangerous. On another day it could have been red.
22'
Toure booked for a high boot on Can.

CLOSE! Sane uses his frightening pace to surge free on the left of the box. He dances beyond Clyne and drills in a low cross. It hits a defender and falls for Silva who rifles wide from 10 yards.

You've got to be thick-skinned to be an official....

Fernandinho fizzes a low ball into the six-yard box that gets a big 'oooh' from the crowd. Aguero had tried to get on the end of it but was being closely monitored by Matip. City want a spot kick, but that would be a generous award.
