Bobby Moore stuff from Dejan Lovren! Manchester City have a break through Gabriel Jesus, Lovren commits himself to a lunge in and takes the ball as clean as you like. Gets a huge cheer.

But City have stepped on the gas, now they free Bernardo Silva down the left, his cross is too firm but retrieved by Riyad Mahrez, who shoots low and hard and it's tipped away by Alisson.

The first genuine save of the game.

I've seen it all now - David Silva plays a poor ball, clean out of play!

Daniel Sturridge is on for Roberto Firmino.

I'm thinking to myself 'goal' because it's Mo Salah.

One pass, Salah is in, all he has to do is lift it over the goalkeeper.

But Salah looking off colour again.

A rare bit of space as Manchester City break away but Riyad Mahrez can't get the better of Virgil van Dijk. Not many do.

Then Liverpool come away quickly, Andrew Robertson plays a long ball over the top for Mo Salah to chase, and reach. Ederson is off his line and vulnerable, Salah brings back the trusty left foot and lashes it a mile over.

I'm loathe to open the Salah sharpness debate but last year you'd have backed him to score there...

You'll have a job to separate the 22 players out there at the moment but please do - rate them here.

Joe Gomez down the line for the first real time form right-back, he tries to chop inside and he's fouled by Fernandinho. Mo Salah whips the ball in but he's got too much on it and puts it into the Kop.

A Fantasy Football disaster from Sergio Aguero, booked and hooked. He's still never scored at Anfield, just like Sean Dundee.

On comes Gabriel Jesus.

Crafty from Ben Mendy as he gets a handful of shirt as Mo Salah twists away from him on the right, but the officials do see it and the Frenchman is booked. The set-piece comes to nothing though.

Brilliant defending from Virgil van Dijk.

He didn't dive in and made sure Riyad Mahrez went on his weaker foot.

Very clever from van Dijk.

Liverpool 0-0 Man City

CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES, COME ON!

A SHOT ON TARGET.

Riyad Mahrez tests Alisson from inside the area and then for good measure Mo Salah curls a 20-yarder effort into the hands of Ederson.

Two shots in a minute. This game is set to get going...

As close as we have come! David Silva with a scalpel of a pass, from left to centre and Riyad Mahrez streaks through, he takes it early and whips a left-footed shot about three yards wide.

Promising.

Penalty?! Surely?!

A corner comes in and Virgil van Dijk beats it away with his arm - ah but he was fouled by Fernandinho in the process.

Pep Guardiola isn't happy though.

Still stalemate but Manchester City's willingness to stroke the ball around at the back - even in their own six-yard area - is actually encouraging Liverpool and galvanising the home crowd.

And this game needs galvanising.

That was heading to the Pennines had the Anfield Road Stand not been there.

Fernandinho shoots from a good 35 yards and puts it about 35 yards wide.

Is that Sergio Aguero challenge the spark this pile of damp twigs needs? Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp exchange views on the touchline. It's not Wenger v Pardew but it's somethingto get the crowd going at least...

A little bit of excitement!

It just wouldn't fall for anybody in the box but it's encouragement in the right area.

Better at the other end too as Riyad Mahrez tricks his way around Andy Robertson and puts in a good low cross but Virgil van Dijk anticipates it and cuts it out.

Sergio Aguero is now booked for a barge into the back of Jordan Henderson. It's actually a kick on his knee. Nasty one.

Noise on the Kop as Liverpool at least fashion a half chance - they get the ball into the area down the left and cut it back but Naby Keita rather gets in the way of a team-mate and between them they fail to get a shot off.

Better though!
