A goal from nothing, A bit of confusion in the Liverpool defence with Alisson, Paterson nips it past him. A strange goal.

What a strike!
It looks like the ball runs away from Sadio Mane but he gets a bit of luck, then smashes it past Neil Etheridge into the top corner.
A wonderful finish. That is a strike of sheer quality.
Sadio Mane
Is that the goal that sends Liverpool to the top of the Premier League?
Sublime skill from Sadio Mane as he teases a couple of Cardiff defenders on the edge of the penalty area before turning and arrowing a low shot past Neil Etheridge.
Brilliant by Mane and The Kop celebrates with a huge roar.

Adam Lallana is the player to make way for Xherdan Shaqiri.
Will he provide the spark to give this game a much needed lift?
It's gone flat at Anfield.

Enter Shaqiri!
The forward is getting ready to come on. Who is coming off?
Liverpool 1-0 Cardiff
No doubt about it - Cardiff are a lot more threatening this half but their travelling support are still awaiting a first attempt on target.
Liverpool have become sloppy in possession and are surely conceding possession too easily for Jurgen Klopp's liking.
A change coming up?
Liverpool 1-0 Cardiff
Cardiff manage to bundle the ball into Alisson's net but the offside flag was raised a couple of seconds earlier. Few complaints from the visitors.
Liverpool 1-0 Cardiff
Scruffy start to the second half. Liverpool might be leading but Cardiff are looking lively and Dejan Lovren has just conceded a free-kick outside his penalty area.
Big chance for the visitors.

Wow. How about this for a stat.
Georginio Wijnaldum completed more than twice as many passes (69) as the whole of the Cardiff team (34) in the first half.

Serge: Lallana having zero impact on this game. Time for some Shaq, me thinks.
B Couture: This game needs a certain Shaq and Robertson in 2nd half.. Liverpool could easily score more.

No changes by either manager. One or two Liverpool fans are calling for the introduction of Xherdan Shaqiri to finish off Cardiff.

Will Liverpool be top at the end of the day?
We're back under way at Anfield with Jurgen Klopp's side attacking The Kop.
Only Bournemouth and Liverpool from the top six are in action today.
The Reds are currently top of the table as they lead Cardiff and Bournemouth will edge closer to a European spot if they can hold onto a 1-0 lead at Fulham.

The half ends with Sean Morrison heading Adam Lallana's attempt off the line with keeper Neil Etheridge beaten.
How crucial will that prove?
It's been far too comfortable for the hosts, who should be further ahead.
What wise words will Neil Warnock have for his Cardiff players at the break?
