    Never in doubt!

    Drama at Anfield.

    Jurgen Klopp celebrates on the touchline.

    It looks Leicester have gone for a diamond shape to stop Liverpool from going side-to-side. Good move by Brendan Rodgers.

    Liverpool 1-1 Leicester

    Jamie Vardy's ball in from the left is looking for Youri Tielemans but James Milner is there on the edge to nod it away.

    Mo Salah then breaks down the right for Liverpool and is brought down by Leicester substitute Hamza Choudhury. Straight into the book!

    Liverpool have just got to be calm now. They've got the quality to create more chances, but Leicester have been fantastic since the goal with putting pressure on.

    A corner from Trent Alexander-Arnold is headed goalwards by Dejan Lovren. Kasper Schmeichel does enough to claw it behind.

    Lovely run by James Maddison. I think it gets a little deflection but Adrian will be disappointed concede that.

    Leicester are buoyed by that goal. Ayoze Perez tries to reach the back line but Virgil van Dijk steps across to poke it away.

    Liverpool 1-1 Leicester

    That means 19 of Leicester's 22 goals have now been scored in the second half. Come back kings.

    Still plenty of time for another goal though. But where is it likely to come from?

    James Maddison

    There it is!

    Substitute Ayoze Perez turns brilliantly and slips it into the box for James Maddison. The England midfielder keeps his cool and slots it through the legs of Adrian.

    Big, big goal for the Foxes! Brendan Rodgers gives his team a fist pump.

    Sree: Don't understand all the fuss about LCFC great start to this season. Drew with Wolves and a Chelsea. Lost to United , beat Spurs but that doesn't seems so great now. Still may beat Liverpool but their high standing in the table is due to poor start of others.

    Gee: LCFC look ok, but they do foul a lot and not get called on it. So many niggly fouls around the park.

    Bit of anxiety going on around Liverpool now. They keep losing the ball from the front three of Sadio Mane, Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino. James Maddison is now starting is to find those little pockets.

    Liverpool 1-0 Leicester

    Mo Salah is online but his first touch is poor. It falls for Roberto Firmino but his effort is blocked.

    It's started to open up a bit now. Liverpool are looking nervy!

  20. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 75 mins

    Liverpool 1-0 Leicester

    Ayoze Perez has come on for Leicester and he's added a bit of energy. He tries to stand up Trent Alexander-Arnold on the right but the full-back holds his ground.

    It's Dennis Praet who has gone off.
