Sadio Mane has space to run into on the left and he sends a good ball into the back post.

It's a good height for Mohamed Salah and his technique is brilliant as he volleys it towards goal. Kepa Arrizabalaga reacts well to make the save.

Naby Keita robs the ball off Callum Hudson-Odoi and Sadio Mane can set off down the left.

Hudson-Odoi recovers to get a foot in but Liverpool have possession on the throw-in and Virgil van Dijk will switch it around the back.

I am guessing there must be one Chelsea supporters coach that has yet to arrive at the ground. There is hardly an empty red seat inside Anfield, apart from a noticeable area close to the touchline in the Anfield Road End.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's long ball is brought down brilliantly by Roberto Firmino but Liverpool are forced backwards and Chelsea win possession.

That was a perfectly observed minute's silence by everyone in Anfield. The only sound I could hear was my heart beating. A powerful commemoration, as always.

A reminder of how the teams lined-up.

Naby Keita picks up a loose pass in midfield. He tries to start an attack down the left-hand side but Cesar Azpilicueta wins a throw-in.

Respectful from both sets of fans.

And now we're off. HUGE game. "Liverpool, Liverpool, Liverpoooool" rings around Anfield.

And now a tribute to the 96. A minute's silence.

There is a real tinge of anticipation in the air, and it's sure to be an emotional occasion for many concerned given the importance of this game and the fact Monday is the 30th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.

There is a deafening roar as the teams come out onto the pitch.

Here comes "You'll Never Walk Alone".

Stunning.

A nice, warm embrace between Jurgen Klopp and Maurizio Sarri as the players take their places on the pitch.

Will Klopp pick up another win on his 200th day in charge?

Manchester City

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola on the title run-in: "This pressure is incredible. We are fighting to be champions back to back. In two seasons we've got 83 points with five games left. We've won two titles (Community Shield) and now it's the FA Cup final.

On Raheem Sterling: "He missed the first chance but the first goal was incredible. He's a guy who has scored a lot of goals. He fought and helped Kyle Walker.

On whether he will be watching the upcoming game between Liverpool and Chelsea: "I'll be on the bus or plane. Tiger Woods and Francesco Molinari are playing. We will watch the Masters and maybe the Liverpool game. Hopefully, Chelsea do a good job."

These Liverpool players haven’t been scarred by what happened five years ago, only Jordan Henderson was involved in that game in the starting XI today. This is a new adventure; they have a great chance of winning the Premier League.

But the chance to put that all behind them, what a boost that would be for the fans. This is what they consider the big hurdle today. If they get through it I think they will go on and win the league. The games they have got I can’t see them dropping any more points.

It's hotting up inside Anfield now. Fans respond to Chelsea's chant of "Steve Gerrard, Gerrard" with the original.

The flags are out, the banners are out and it's packed full.

Bobby is pumped.

It is hard for the players to ignore the hype surrounding Liverpool’s long wait for a title, but the overwhelming majority of them won’t let the weight of expectation affect them.

It’s a new adventure. Jurgen Klopp is a guy who has won titles before so when he sends out a message the vast majority of the squad will believe him. There isn’t too much mental baggage for this current set of Liverpool players.

On Steven Gerrard’s slip in 2014: I’d be amazed if anyone in the Liverpool squad has mentioned it, why focus on the negatives? I’d be surprised if quite a lot of the players have even seen that clip.

They just need to do their job and beat Chelsea this afternoon. It’s a lot to deal with just going on the pitch let alone dealing with happened five years ago.

There is quite a relaxed atmosphere inside Anfield ahead of kick-off. The Liverpool fans who stayed on the concourses to watch the Crystal Palace v Manchester City game were watching with hope, rather than expectation. They are now drifting to their seats as George Sephton plays a calming selection of tunes over the PA system. Having said all that, the atmosphere will start to change in around 10 minutes from now.

Chelsea

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri on the battle between Eden Hazard and Virgil van Dijk to Sky Sports:

"[Eden] Hazard can do everything, everything. Hazard will put [Virgil] van Dijk in trouble."

Chelsea's away form has been their undoing this season, especially at the turn of the year when they lost on three successive trips, which put Maurizio Sarri on the brink of being sacked, according to some reports.

That form has improved since, and having already beaten Liverpool at Anfield in the Carabao Cup this season via an Eden Hazard winner, they will hope to stop a run of five league away defeats by top six opposition.

Chelsea haven't lost at Anfield since 2012, a run which includes that famous game five years ago.
