  1. CLOSE!published at 74 mins

    Liverpool 1-0 Leicester

    There's the shot Leicester have been searching for!

    It's almost in too. Dennis Praet has a pop from long range and he's caught it sweetly. Adrian is scrambling but it flies inches wide of his right post.

    Very close...

    Georginio Wijnaldum hits another one straight at Kasper Schmeichel, who has had a busy afternoon.

    Ben: Leicester are looking excellent today. Strong at the back, and creating good chances up front.

    No shots on target though - actually, shots in general.

    It looks Liverpool are going to patient with their attacks and mount the pressure slowly onto Leicester.

    Liverpool 1-0 Leicester

    Jonny Evans goes into the book and there's a big cheer around Anfield. He used to play at Manchester United of course...

    Liverpool 1-0 Leicester

    Andy Robertson gets away on the left and chooses to go alone as space opens up for him in front of goal.

    It's hit straight at the keeper and maybe the slip ball into Mo Salah was a better option.

  8. GREAT SAVE!published at 66 mins

    Liverpool 1-0 Leicester

    Jamie Vardy finds one of those gaps and sprints into it. The long ball finds him but Adrian pulls off another excellent save.

    The flag goes up anyway but there's the space Leicester have been waiting for.

    The intensity seems to have gone out of the Liverpool press, so Leicester are able to find a few different gaps and holes and that's where James Maddison is going to come into his own.

  10. CLOSE!published at 65 mins

    Liverpool 1-0 Leicester

    Andy Robertson has space to build a tree house on the left. He cuts inside and plays a one-two with Mo Salah but his cross is cut out.

    Roberto Firmino then brings down a long ball with a superb touch, turns and shoots but misses the far post by a yard.

    Liverpool 1-0 Leicester

    Sadio Mane hassles and hassles, giving Ben Chilwell nowhere to go. But the full-back does really well to shield the ball and eventually wins a free-kick.

    Solid.

  12. Frustration for Rodgerspublished at 16:18 British Summer Time 5 October 2019

    Liverpool 1-0 Leicester

    Phil McNulty

    Brendan Rodgers has turned on his heel in disgust on a couple of occasions in this half as good territory or possession has been squandered.

    Leicester City have acquitted themselves pretty well but simply have not posed enough threat.

    Liverpool 1-0 Leicester

    Corner to Leicester and a rare chance to test Dejan Lovren and his teammates. Marc Albrighton is the one to win it, hitting it off Andy Robertson.

    But James Maddison's corner doesn't do too much damage and Lovren coolly nods it away. Maddison makes up for it with an excellent swinging ball in a few moments later but Trent Alexander-Arnold is there.

    Liverpool 1-0 Leicester

    Leicester pass their way nicely around the Liverpool front line but Marc Albrighton's pass it cut out by James Milner.

    Jonny Evans picks up the loose ball and James Maddison switches it over to the left.

  15. CLOSE!published at 55 mins

    Liverpool 1-0 Leicester

    Oh, what a goal this would have been! Sensational one-touch passing from Mo Salah and Sadio Mane but Jonny Evans does just enough to put Mane off as he shoots.

    It's inches wide. Half the ground thought it was in!

    I think Jurgen Klopp has told Liverpool to go out and smell blood. They want to get out and get an early goal, just to settle them down.

    Liverpool 1-0 Leicester

    Mo Salah's free-kick is straight at the wall and the Egyptian tries to follow-up it up with another cross.

    Ben Chilwell is there to nod it away.

  18. YELLOW CARDpublished at 54 mins

    Liverpool 1-0 Leicester

    Mo Salah is pulled back by Caglar Soyuncu right on the edge of the box and he goes into the box.

    This is decent free-kick territory too.

    Liverpool 1-0 Leicester

    Marc Albrighton's cross is comfortably dealt with by Dejan Lovren, who just side-foots it down for Fabinho.

    That's the first time in this half Leicester have got near the opposition box.

    The last time Mohamed Salah lost a game at Anfield in 2014... he was a Chelsea player and Brendan Rodgers was the Liverpool manager.
