  2. YELLOW CARDpublished at 21:18 Greenwich Mean Time 4 November 2014

    Marcelo has been top drawer going forwards this evening but that's an ugly challenge, hard and rash on Raheem Sterling and he goes in the book for his troubles.

    "I think both Can and Toure have been fantastic for Liverpool.

    "Mignolet has obviously played well too.

    "I think whatever happens from here on, Rodgers is going to find it very hard to criticise any of his players."

  4. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 21:17 Greenwich Mean Time 4 November 2014

    Fabio Borini can tell his kids that he scored at the Bernabeu - well sort of. He fouls Sergio Ramos, but plays on after the whistle to slot under the body of Iker Casillas.

    Liverpool have 15 minutes to go.

  5. Football league updatepublished at 21:17 Greenwich Mean Time 4 November 2014

    It is getting interesting at Leeds as Neil Redfearn searches for his first win as the team's permanent boss. Two goals from Alex Mowatt either side of a Charlton equaliser from Johann Berg Gudmundsson give the home side a 2-1 lead.

    Wolves equalised at Ipswich through James Henry's cross that missed everyone, fizzed off the sodden November turf and crept into the corner. But Ipswich have restored their lead thanks to a deft chip from Daryl Murphy, who doubles his tally. 2-1 to Mick McCarthy's side.

    Andy Wilkinson has made Millwall's night against Blackburn significantly more difficult, as he receives his fifth career red card for a ferocious tackle that had the referee going straight to his back pocket. There was also a nasty fracas between the two dugouts following the challenge. Just two minutes later, Rudy Gestede doubles the away team's lead. 2-0 to Rovers.

    It does not take Bournemouth long to take advantage of Royston Drenthe's red card for Sheffield Wednesday. The Cherries are one up within two minutes of the red card, Andrew Surman keeping his cool. Could Bournemouth be heading for an unprecedented sixth straight league win as a second-tier club? They are going top of the table at present.

    That Ludogorets Razgrad comeback against Basel that Liverpool fans were hoping for? Well, it's going to take something truly special now after Shkelzen Gashi and Marek Suchy make it it 4-0 to the Swiss side at St Jakob Park.

    Borussia Dortmund look to be cruising into the last 16 of the competition after taking a 2-0 lead against Galatasaray. The Turkish club failed to clear a corner and Sebastian Kehl headed the ball into the box for Greek centre-back Sokratis Papastathopoulos to hook the ball home.

    Juventus fell behind to Olympiakos after Delvin N'Dinga scored for the Greeks. But the Italian champions stepped it up and now lead 3-2 after Fernando Llorente's header hit the bar and bounced in off Olympiakos goalkeeper Roberto before Paul Pogba fired home minutes later.

    He's not offside this time, and right-back Anthony Vanden Borre has his second of the night, slotted home.

  8. PENALTY to Anderlechtpublished at 21:14 Greenwich Mean Time 4 November 2014

    Arsenal are making a good job of messing this one up! Nacho Monreal is pinged for holding and that's a pen...

  9. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 21:13 Greenwich Mean Time 4 November 2014

    Gareth Bale! Against the bar! Great chance for Bale to make it 2-0 but he leans back on impact and smashes the crossbar, it was after another excellent cutback from Marcelo. Brilliant tonight, the Brazil left-back.

  10. Postpublished at 21:12 Greenwich Mean Time 4 November 2014

    Danny Welbeck should have scored tonight - he had two decent openings in the first half and now sees a header saved by Silvio Proto.

    Here they come. Steven Gerrard and Raheem Sterling on for Lucas and Lazar Markovic.

    They have 21 minutes to salvage anything for the Reds.

  12. CLOSE!published at 21:10 Greenwich Mean Time 4 November 2014

    Brilliant again from Marcelo! Hammers in the cross, right across goal, but this time Karim Benzema can't steer it home.

    "You just felt it was going to happen there for Ronaldo, it was just so neatly worked.

    "Toure stands firm though as he has done all night so far."

  14. CLOSE!published at 21:09 Greenwich Mean Time 4 November 2014

    Positive signs from Liverpool winger Lazar Markovic, who has twice gone on powerful runs through the middle. He can carry the ball, that's for sure.

    But Real should be 2-0 up! It's a great block from Kolo Toure, preventing Cristiano Ronaldo from finding the net. But Ronaldo took an extra touch, he could have hit it first time but opened up the angle.

    Gareth Bale is out on the right flank for Real Madrid. Cristiano Ronaldo tries to run straight through the middle of the Liverpool defence but Kolo Toure erects a roadblock to get in his face.

    "Probably won't make any difference to the overall result, but Arsene Wenger will be disappointed to see Arsenal concede there.

    "Anthony Vanden Borre was at least a yard offside."

    Not a bad sub to have - the world's most expensive player. Gareth Bale gets half an hour, on in place of James Rodriguez.

  20. GOALpublished at 21:02 Greenwich Mean Time 4 November 2014

    He's three yards offside! It shouldn't matter too much though, as Anthony Vanden Borre slams in a cross from the left. Well offside...
