One minute of added time.

Jurgen Klopp, wrapped up in a big winter coat and sporting a baseball cap, is getting agitated on the sidelines.

His team might be ahead but the German is demanding more from his players as half-time approaches.

TV replays of an earlier challenge by Sean Morrison on Mo Salah show Liverpool had a decent shout for a penalty.

As it is, Cardiff are hanging in although they will be mightily relieved to hear the half-time whistle.

To be fair, Cardiff have weathered Liverpool's early storm and are starting to venture outside their own half.

The trouble is they can't create any chances, with Liverpool far too comfortable.

Cardiff have got Callum Patterson up front all on his own and all he can do is stay between the two centre halves, be patient and hope they can get half a chance, that is as good as they are going to get at the moment.

Víctor Camarasa is charging towards the Liverpool penalty area but Fabinho makes a timely tackle to set up another Liverpool attack.

Still no saves for Alisson to make.

It's all Liverpool, who lead the Premier League by three points in the 'as it stands' table.

The Match of the Day commentator at Anfield has just described Liverpool's performance as irresistible. I'm not going to argue with that.

A rare Cardiff attack and Josh Murphy tries to find a blue shirt but it's easily gathered by Alisson in front of the Kop.

The visitors have yet to have a shot - let alone one on target.

Liverpool's movement is brilliant, they are pulling Cardiff in all areas. Trent Alexander-Arnold is making the difference, he is pushing Murphy back with him and they can't deal with it.

Cardiff cannot keep the ball.

Wave after wave of attacks from the men in red.

Liverpool have had 85% possession in the opening 20 minutes. That's impressive.

The pressure was mounting. Three Cardiff bodies are on the ground, they tried to block the shot. Sol Bamba's clearance was not good, Mane's shot is saved, it falls to Mo Salah, clinical finish.

Mohamed Salah has four goals in two-and-a-bit appearances for the Reds this week.

Having scored the winner at Huddersfield, the Egyptian netted two against Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League in midweek.

He's in the mood for more. Neil Etheridge comes rushing off his line to clear before Liverpool's No 11 can get to the ball.

Bad news for Cardiff. Liverpool are up for this and already hunting a second goal.

Mohamed Salah sends in a cross which ends in Virgil van Dijk heading against the post.

The Reds are rampant.

Adam Lallana wins Liverpool's first corner of the game after trying to lift the ball into the path of Mohamed Salah who is running towards goal. The set-piece is easily dealt with by Cardiff's defence.

Liverpool and pushing and probing but it's a tame start at Anfield.

Liverpool are arguably the best in the world up front and the scary thing for everyone else is that they have got more to come.

Liverpool are dominating possession and Cardiff are finding it difficult to get out of their own half in the opening exchanges.

It's a no-thrills start at Anfield - we're awaiting the game's first chance.

Adam Lallana has been waiting a while, he’s had to be patient. These things happen, injuries. He used to be first choice in the Liverpool team.

Now he has got the opportunity to impress. Hopefully he can earn a place back in the England side but before that he has got to perform for his club first.

Warm embrace between Jurgen Klopp and Neil Warnock.

Virgil van Dijk is captaining Liverpool this afternoon.

And it's Cardiff who get us under way.
