If Liverpool get another goal before half-time I sense the floodgates opening.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is not shy at getting forward. The teenager drills a teasing low cross across West Ham's six-yard area.

Liverpool are dominating. Mohamed Salah shows he is human after all as he heads over from point blank range after beating Aaron Cresswell to a cross before goalscorer Emre Can goes down after an aerial challenge.

There's a few worried looks on the home bench but Can is able to continue for now.

There are two reasons Emre Can scored that goal. The corner is brilliant and Patrice Evra is marking him. Evra is quite small. If you a professional footballer you should not miss that goal.

Liverpool will go on to score more now.

Liverpool are SECOND in the Premier League table as it stands.

Four months ago they were NINTH after a 4-1 defeat against Tottenham at Wembley.

Liverpool started well and hit a post.

West Ham have fought their way back and hit the bar.

This is delicately poised.

There's a stoppage in play after a crunching challenge between James Milner and Mark Noble leaves the Liverpool captain flat out.

It's OK. A round of applause breaks out around Anfield as a grimacing Milner eventually climbs to his feet and signals to the bench he is able to continue.

Lorus Karius makes an unbelievable save from Marko Arnautovic. I can appreciate that as a goalkeeper.

Who will score Liverpool's 100th competitive goal of the season?

Sadio Mane has a chance to put his name out in lights but heads Roberto Firmino's cross over.

Jurgen Klopp's side remain stuck on 99.

West Ham were in turmoil when David Moyes took over. You single out a player who has pretty much turned around his career as Marko Arnautovic. He blew hot and cold at Stoke. Frustrating for fans and for him too. To come to West Ham and be the main man and score regularly, he’s showing his confidence now.

Where did that come from?

West Ham are finally beginning to venture forward and Marko Arnautovic's lobbed attempt in front of the Kop is touched onto the bar by Loris Karius.

That was a sublime chip and an equally superb save.

Great football.

Jeers each time former Manchester United full-back Patrice Evra touches the ball.

Evra is having a busy debut. It's been all Liverpool so far.

Liverpool mean business.

Virgil van Dijk outjumps the Hammers defence to get on the end of a corner but it's straight at Adrian.

West Ham have hardly ventured outside their own half.

The hosts have spent the first five minutes camped inside the West Ham half.

They've enjoyed 87% possession and hit the post.

That's what you call a strong start.

Liverpool are denied a dream start by a post.

A delightful move involving James Milner sees Roberto Firmino tee up Mohamed Salah inside the area but his low curling attempt hits the woodwork.

Warning signs for West Ham already!

Nice touch from West Ham fans who are paying tribute to Hammers legend Bobby Moore.

It's 25 years since he died and there's a large banner on display which reads 'Always remembered. Captain. Hero. Legend'.

Off we go.

Cordial handshake between Jurgen Klopp and David Moyes after both teams enter a sun-drenched pitch at a bitterly cold Anfield.

We're moments away from the start.

Want to know what Mohamed Salah dreams about when he hits the sack?

The free-scoring Liverpool forward allows his mind to drift towards winning the Premier League with Liverpool.

"I came here to win titles," the 25-year-old tells Football Focus. "It's a long time since the club won the league. It's my dream to win the Premier League - but I want to win it with this club."
