Liverpool are targeting the Leicester left flank - shown below in our graphic - as they continue probing for the opener. Jordan Henderson finds space to whip the ball into Christian Benteke, but he cannot keep down his 10-yard header.

Liverpool are still huffing and puffing. Sharp movement from Roberto Firmino as he peels off in the right channel to pick up Nathaniel Clyne's pass and drill towards the six-yard box. But Foxes skipper Wes Morgan - not for the first time - scurries across to block.

I know a man who would have loved to be racing on to that Jordan Henderson pass (see the previous entry) - Daniel Sturridge. Unfortunately we have just the perennially-injured Liverpool striker sat in the Anfield stands sipping on a warm cuppa.

Hollywood stuff from Jordan Henderson! The Liverpool skipper wins possession, takes a touch, looks up, then pings a 50-yard diag to Christian Benteke. But the burly Belgian can't accelerate away from the away defence, unable to pick out a red shirt when he goes back inside.

Man City 4-0 Sunderland

Swansea 1-0 West Brom

Result from earlier:

Stoke 2-0 Man Utd

Ouch! Jamie Vardy crumbles to the ground, clutching the back of his right calf after being raked by Emre Can. The Liverpool midfielder pleads his innocence, but referee Martin Atkinson isn't buying it. Booked.

The Kop raises the volume as Liverpool win their first corner in front of those supporters. But it is a disappointing delivery from Philippe Coutinho, who can't beat the first Leicester man.

Oh dear! Liverpool centre-back Mamadou Sakho has bit of a meltdown as Leicester put him under pressure in his own half. Shinji Okazaki breathes down the back of the Frenchman's neck as he scuffs a backpass to centre-back partner Dejan Lovren. Then Sakho can only find a blue shirt when receives the ball back from Simon Mignolet. Fortunately, for him, Leicester can't punish the home side.

Early half-chance for Leicester within seconds of the kick-off. A high ball drops to Jamie Vardy, who tries to smash a rasping volley towards the top corner. However, the Leicester striker mis-hits the ball and it spins easily into Simon Mignolet's gloves.

Leicester saunter out of the dressing room a good 90 seconds or so after their opponents. Maybe Claudio Ranieri was taking his time to get his instructions across. The Foxes restart the action...

Jurgen Klopp is the first face of footballing repute to reemerge from the Anfield tunnel. The Liverpool boss is afforded a generous round of applause as his skipper Jordan Henderson points and gestures to the areas where he wants Christian Benteke to run when the action restarts.

In contrast, Leicester have barely had a sniff of goal so far. Three shots, only one on target. And one horror from Shinji Okazaki - which I didn't spot during the first half - that almost cleaned out the corner flag.

Liverpool had plenty of efforts at the Leicester goal - 15 to be precise. However, only two have hit the target (as shown by the two green arrows in the graphic below).

Plenty of endeavour from Liverpool but, I suppose, a lack of quality in the final third. Reds fans should remain positive though that a goal could come if their team remains positive.

Leicester too will be pretty happy. The Foxes, despite offering little attacking threat, have been organised and resolute defensively.

Which way will it go after the break? Hard to tell. So don't go anywhere!

Two minutes of injury time, we are reliably informed by the fourth official. Adam Lallana receives the game's first yellow card for not retreating at a Leicester free-kick. Silly.

Liverpool go left as they lump the ball towards Christian Benteke - and he is unceremoniously shoved to the the turf by Wes Morgan. Free-kick. But it is wasted by Philippe Coutinho, who only finds the top of the Leicester wall from the left flank.

Anyone going to snaffle a lead to take into the break? Liverpool edge forward down the right flank...
