That's a deserved booking for Sigurdsson - he stood on Henderson.

Sam Allardyce has clearly said to his side that 'this is the formation and we're sticking to it'.

The only positive if you're an Everton fan is that it is still 0-0. Calvert-Lewin and Niasse have had nothing to feed off.

There was a warm greeting for Sir Alex Ferguson when he arrived earlier on. A handful of fans already in the ground managed to grab a few selfies with the former manager, who was more than happy to oblige.

Jordan Pickford is the Everton playmaker.

An incredible amount of people watching in a Perth casino on a screen so big you'd think they've stolen it from the Pentagon.

Jordan Henderson has played 54 passes, Everton 79 so far.

Still 0-0.

I wonder when the last time Wayne Rooney only found a team-mate with 30% of his passes was?

Under-7s?

First booking of the derby and rightly so as Gylfi Sigurdsson is late and hard on the ankle of Jordan Henderson. That smarts.

Shot! An actual shot! Andrew Robertson blazes over from 25 yards.

Jurgen Klopp looks frustrated on the sidelines. Big Sam has set him a puzzle and can he answer it? He's left some of the key pieces in the box today.

Liverpool 0-0 Everton

Ouch indeed. James Milner is held off the ball by Wayne Rooney and slides off on the snowy, icy turf before clattering into the advertising boards.

The Everton fans behind that goal give him plenty of support, as you'd imagine.

Sho Rahman: I don't know how Lookman doesn't get in this Everton team. Clearly their most talented player.

Richard Morris: Davies not physically strong enough for this game. Bullied off the ball all the time and cannot win a tackle.

Bob: Liverpool are set up for the sucker punch! No one in the middle to finish!! Klopp get it changed.

If England want to play for territory in the World Cup then Jordan Pickford is your man. He can clobber a ball like nobody else.

Liverpool waste a free-kick in a good position out wide, Everton waste every position they get at the moment.

Liverpool are keeping possesson and Everton cannot get out.

There is an absolute lack of quality and shape from them and it's only a matter of time until Liverpool create an opening; Everton can't keep this up for 90 minutes.

Joe Gomez then bends in a superb cross from the right which comes through to Sadio Mane beyound the far post, he has many bodies in his way but finds Dominic Solanke - he tries to lay it off to another red shirt but he can't find one.

AD Rite: Parking the bus well and truly back in the Premier League this weekend!

Matt Morgan: Everton's tactics are simply embarrassing! Long ball, 10 men behind the ball, time wasting. Welcome to Big Sam's revolution.

A wild challenge from Joe Gomez, hacking down Cuco Martina very late as the full-back cleared. He escapes a caution though.

Some proper snow falling at Anfield now.

Liverpool have had the better of the early stages and Sam Allardyce is going berserk at Everton’s poor distribution from the back as they’ve knocked the ball straight out of play six times.

And it’s very odd to see Sammy Lee in the Everton colours at his old stomping ground.

I know I keep going on about it but it's not often you see Premier League players just launching the ball first time, every time.

Mason Holgate has loads of time in the area but just batters the ball away, left footed, aimlessly.Sam Allardyce is in deep discussion on the hands-free to Craig Shakespeare. Does it look any better from the stands?Liverpool haven't had a shot on target though. Job done so far.

David: This looks like it could be a cracking game. What has big Sam got stuck in his ear? Listening to the races perhaps.
