    BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty at Anfield

    "Liverpool's fans are buoyed by their early attacking efforts. Unusual to see the excellent Hugo Lloris make such a mistake for Lazar Markovic's goal - shot wasn't brilliantly hit and deceived him."

    "Bentaleb is awful at the back in giving the ball away and almost plays Sturridge in. Dier does really well with a last-ditch tackle and forces Sturridge to put his shot over the bar."

    Tottenham are all over the shop. This time Nabil Bentaleb plays a sloppy pass back and Daniel Sturridge seizes upon it, but Eric Dier does just enough to put the striker off and the ball sails into the stand.

    A goal in the game between Arsenal and Leicester - with Laurent Koscielny putting the Gunners ahead.

    That goal means that Arsenal are currently fourth in the table, leapfrogging Spurs, who are losing at Anfield and have slipped down to sixth, one place above Liverpool.

    Still, plenty of time left.

    "Talking of impressive footballers this season, I think Emre Can has been excellent for Liverpool. He should move into midfield soon."

    "A fantastic goal form Lazar Markovic. running at the Tottenham defence, it opens up for him and he thinks 'should I play my mate Sturridge in'. He thinks 'no' and takes it on a beats Lloris at his left hand post.

    "Maybe a goalkeeper of Lloris' quality should have done better."

  10. GOALpublished at 20:15 Greenwich Mean Time 10 February 2015

    Liverpool have lift-off. It's all a bit route one, but the Reds don't mind.

    After Harry Kane is robbed in the penalty area, Simon Mignolet launches a long goal-kick forward and Daniel Sturridge controls it but loses it under pressure from Jan Vertonghen. The loose ball runs to Lazar Markovic who drives towards the edge of the box and puts a low shot across Hugo Lloris and into the back of the net. Should the keeper have saved it? Possibly.

    You know what, Liverpool are playing quite well here. They are taking it to Spurs and Alberto Moreno drives down the left but Lazar Markovic is leaning back and his shot hits Brenda in Row W. Still the Reds pour forward and Hugo Lloris makes a fine save from Daniel Sturridge's powerful, eight-yard effort.

    "A mistake from Spurs and Sturridge is on to it, but it is on his wrong side and he couldn't quite generate the power. If it was on his left foot you would have fancied it."

    Twice now, Spurs have given the ball away in midfield and allowed Liverpool an opening. This time Ryan Mason's slip lets in Daniel Sturridge who drives into the box but fires tamely at Hugo Lloris.

  17. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 20:08 Greenwich Mean Time 10 February 2015

    A cheeky penalty appeal for Tottenham when Harry Kane, with the ball gone, goes down under Simon Mignolet's challenge. The striker was caught, but it would have been soft. Play on says Phil Dowd.

    Hassan Aljumah: When the opposing fans start to boo you for no reason. You know you're on another level. Kane for ballon d'or.

    tom Membrey: Tottenham for the title? Kane for player of the year and young player of the year?

    Tom Miszkowski: Can only imagine what is must be like playing in this atmosphere. When kop sing YNWA, hairs on back of the neck stand on end.

    It's an interesting tactical battle tonight. Tottenham are pressing Liverpool high up the pitch, but the Reds are dynamite once they win the ball back and get players like Jordon Ibe, Daniel Sturridge and even Lazar Markovic bombing forward.

  20. Postpublished at 20:03 Greenwich Mean Time 10 February 2015

    Liverpool's first real foray into the final third and Jordon Ibe wins a corner which Steven Gerrard puts into the mixer but Tottenham clear. I'm telling you, it's all about Ibe tonight. Harry Kane is so last Saturday.
