    Nick: I said West Ham's failure to secure one or two defensive midfielders of real quality would haunt them this season and on evidence of today I stand by that

    Roger Anthony Lewis: If Milner is the best England MF it doesn't say a lot about the others

    Rob Grimwood: Milner and Wilshere. Almost a hundred England caps between them....

    Southampton 0-0 Burnley

    What's the record for most shots in a goalless Premier League game?

    The shot-count climbs to 31 at St Mary's. Could still go either way in the closing minutes.

    A young pitch invader at Anfield.

    He runs to Mo Salah and hugs the Liverpool forward - who responds with a huge smile - before running off.

    Xherdan Shaqiri is on for the closing stages. Sadio Mane will not be starting the season with a hat-trick.

    Liverpool 3-0 West Ham

    Around 10 minutes left at Anfield. It's been an incredibly comfortable start to the campaign by Liverpool. They're breezing to victory.

    There's more movement on the Reds bench...

  7. CLOSE!published at 15:06 British Summer Time 12 August 2018

    Southampton 0-0 Burnley

    What an entrance by Danny Ings.

    The substitute arrives right on cue to meet a Saints' corner with his head, but the ball flies over Joe Hart's bar. The tide is changing.

    Adam Heap: On the balance of play Burnley should win this, but I’d be happy with an away draw considering we were away in Turkey on Thursday and have the second leg to come at home this coming Thursday too!

    Chris Branch: Come on Hart, thought you were rubbish now?

    Ross Freddie Ray: Joe hart, I love you

    Phil Smith: James Milner has been consistent and skilful for many years. Having watched him at Leeds and Villa, the pleasure of watching him at City and then seeing him compete for a deserved regular place at Liverpool - not many have sustained this in modern era.

    Hilton Harvey: I’m a big Milner fan. He’s a great club player. Top class. But not international. He would not have been the answer against Croatia.

    Even though it's not been as slick as the first half, there has still been constant pressure from Liverpool. West Ham are just trying anything they can to relieve it.

    Liverpool 3-0 West Ham

    Poor clearance by Alisson lands straight at the feet of a West Ham player lurking just outside the penalty area. He's quickly closed down but that was sloppy by Liverpool's new keeper.

  13. CLOSE!published at 14:59 British Summer Time 12 August 2018

    Southampton 0-0 Burnley

    Joe Hart has just made a terrific save to frustrate Southampton.

    Danny Ings has been excellent since coming on and his delivery finds Jack Stephens at the back post but Hart pushes his attempt wide.

    Benfleet Hammer: Impossible to judge West Ham on this game. They won't be the last team to come to Anfield and struggle to contain Liverpool.

    Woodz: 3-0 up with still Fabinho, Lallana, Shaqiri and Sturridge on the bench... Depth charge.

    James Watson: Liverpool do look good.. but gifting them blatant offside goals is just frustrating.

  15. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:57 British Summer Time 12 August 2018

    Warm applause and a cheer welcomes Jordan Henderson on the pitch for Roberto Firmino.

    Around 25 minutes left at St Mary's.

    Saints have been inspired by the double substitution, and Danny Ings has just had his first effort on goal for his new club. The shot is wide of the target but the hosts are showing more intent.
