When you see James Milner playing as well as he has done today you think do Liverpool even need a new left back?
He has been superb today and excellent going forward.
Liverpool 4-1 Stoke
Milner piles forward in search of the icing to add to what has been a superb display from the full-back. He is tackled before he can pull the trigger, though.

Stoke finally manage to string a series of passes together. It is too little, too late, though.

Jordan Henderson replaced Steven Gerrard and had such big shoes to fill but he is slowly but surely beginning to assert himself as a Liverpool captain.

Not sure what Wilfried Bony can contribute here now. He is on, though, replacing Peter Crouch, who gets a warm round of applause from the fans of his former club.

Fair play to the Stoke fans, they are still singing. Delilah gets another rendition as Liverpool twice go close again. Daniel Sturridge gets in the way of Jordan Henderson's shot from the edge of the box before Alberto Moreno's acrobatic follow-up is blocked by a Stoke defender.

If Liverpool can be better defensively you do think they can push Chelsea all of the way.

Johnny Magrinho: Liverpool should try going 1-0 down at home more often. What a response. Clinical, absolutely clinical. Sensational composure.

Roberto Firmino's work is done. He heads off to be replaced by Alberto Moreno.
Liverpool 4-1 Stoke
Liverpool have passed another milestone with that Daniel Sturridge goal. It is the 100th they have scored under Jurgen Klopp.
They almost concede another, though, as Ibrahim Afellay, who has just come on for Mame Biram Diouf, fires over from outside the area.

Bisa Amoo-Gottfried: I see the spirit of giving is still strong with Stoke
Dan J Pinchy: I think that's what you call an impact substitution...
David Broome: Stoke in festive mood, gift-wrapping Liverpool 3 goals & sending an open invitation to score the 4th 4-1 & Liverpool ordinary!
Liverpool 4-1 Stoke
Liverpool want real revenge for that 6-1 defeat to Stoke in May 2015 now. Glen Johnson heads behind for a corner, which is again played short, chipped to Dejan Lovren, whose cross is fluffed by Roberto Firmino on the edge of the six-yard box.

Playing the backpass blind is something you cannot do.
It was a lovely finish from Daniel Sturridge. That is what he brings to the team.

Horrendous mistake by Shawcross.
Daniel Sturridge
Here you go Daniel lad, have yourself a goal. Ryan Shawcross plays a shocker of back-pass without looking, gifting the ball straight to substitute Daniel Sturridge, whose first touch is to control, second is to nick the ball past Lee Grant and third is to score. Game well and truly over. And it could get worse for Stoke yet.
Liverpool 3-1 Stoke
