Our first yellow of the match goes to Liverpool's Alberto Moreno, who makes a clumsy tackle on Matt Phillips wide on the right.

Phillips takes the resulting free-kick, it bobbles about the box and is then cleared.

James McClean tries an inswinger from the left but once again it misses a navy shirt.

West Brom aren't a bad side at all, but they just don't have the x-factor.

Their team as a whole have scored fewer goals than Mo Salah this season.

Roberto Firmino and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain replace Sadio Mane and goalscorer Danny Ings.

Ings gets a big pat on the back from Jurgen Klopp.

Liverpool's coaches have their notepads out and they're briefing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Roberto Firmino with some red pen diagrams.

A double change on its way...

Huzzy: Okay so, a stonewall penalty, and Ings gets punched in the stomach... Is this referee watching or did he have a late night??

Paul: Hope the FA take a look at Hegazi after that. Clearly just punched Ings in the chest.

Nick: Just a clear penalty and a clear red card missed by Attwell so far. Is it any wonder VAR has so much traction these days when Premier League referees are so inept.

I see that Hegazi incident has gone down well with you lot...

From that Liverpool break, West Brom recover in an organised fashion.

Danny Ings and Mo Salah attempt a dainty link up but Ben Foster is able to grab the ball with ease.

Another run into the box from Matt Phillips.

He gets past Alberto Moreno, Jordan Henderson and he tries to square to Jay Rodriguez but it's not good enough.

Phillips has his head in the side-netting in frustration.

Now Liverpool charge forward...

Ings was definitely punched. Hegazi has got away with that on the pitch but I think if the governing bodies have a look at that, they will take action.

Ings was going about his business honestly and Hegazi takes it upon himself to punch him in the ribs.

Now it's Danny Ings vs referee Stuart Attwell.

Ings is pulled up for colliding with Ahmed Hegazi, and the Egyptian gives the Liverpool goalscorer a tap on the chest as he gets up.

Was it a tap or was it a punch? It was somewhere in between. Ings is livid and Attwell has to tell him to calm down.

From the resulting free kick, Hegazi has a go at goal with a header but he can't get it on target.

Craig Dawson comes to the rescue for the hosts and heads away James Milner's cross which was heading for Danny Ings.

Ben Foster pummels the ball down field and it's heading straight for Salomon Rondon.

There's a big mix-up between Ragnar Klavan and Loris Karius - as in Klavan just leaves it for the keeper in a dangerous area - but they manage to sort themselves out and avert any real danger.

Bob: Why didn't West Brom play like this all season? Too little too late for them.

Matt Phillips is showing so much endeavor on the flanks for West Brom but there's just no one there to stick it away in the box.

Jay Rodriguez doesn't have the height or control to poke in Phillips' latest cross.

Sadio Mane gives the ball away in the middle of the field but his team-mates are on hand to scramble it away from the feet of Jay Rodriguez.

As Liverpool push into the box, Danny Ings is bundled over by Craig Dawson.

There are shouts for a penalty...but it's a no from referee Stuart Attwell. That was a bit dicey from Dawson...

The teams are back out and Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is having a long-winded chat with officials on the sideline about something.

His West Brom counterpart, meanwhile, stands in his box and looks pensive.

It's the Baggies who get us back under way.

That was a good half for Liverpool who could have doubled their lead through Danny Ings.

West Brom huffed and puffed and had a couple of chances, one in particular with Jay Rodriguez, who just needed the slightest of touches to level the scores.

Liverpool are in control but West Brom are still in it and they will want to give their supporters something to cheer about in the second half.

It's FA Cup semi-final weekend and it kicks off with Manchester United v Tottenham at Wembley.

Jose Mourinho said he will recall Antonio Valencia, Nemanja Matic and Romelu Lukaku, who were all rested for United in midweek against Bournemouth.

Dele Alli is among several expected Tottenham changes, having been left out for the midweek draw with Brighton.

We'll bring you coverage on the BBC Sport website from 15:30 BST, with BBC One joining the party from 16:55.

In the meantime, this might whet the appetite...

Javel: West Brom could have scored three in the last five mins!! Liverpool will need to get a couple more to be safe.

West Brom could have scored a few. They haven't. And they're losing.

A huge 45 minutes coming up as they fight to stay up.
