    Axux: Match ball? Sadio Mane should take Anfield home for his recent performances.

    Can Leicester find a way back or will Liverpool see this through?

    I think Liverpool deserve the lead. They bossed the first 20-25 minutes.

    I think Leicester have done quite well in terms of trying to keep Liverpool out and not giving them too many opportunities.

    At this moment in time, I think it's about right that Liverpool are deserved leaders.

    Liverpool with a deserved lead at half-time. Leicester just haven't really got going yet.

    Andy Robertson has two players around him and isn't stopped until Dennis Praet fouls him. Both of Liverpool's full-backs have been terrific this half.

    Liverpool 1-0 Leicester

    Liverpool are turning up the heat.

    Trent Alexander-Arnold fizzes it into the feet of Mo Salah on the edge and he tees up James Milner.

    The Ribena-loving midfielder hits it sweetly but it's always flying over the bar.

  12. Mane deserves his goalpublished at 15:44 British Summer Time 5 October 2019

    Phil McNulty
    BBC Sport chief football writer at Anfield

    Sadio Mane has been as tireless in his defensive work on the right flank as he has in his attacking threat today and fully deserved his goal.

    Never looked for a moment like he would miss - but Leicester City will be so disappointed because they had done so well up to that point.

  13. CLOSE!published at 44 mins

    Sadio Mane is in again! Roberto Firmino slips a cross in from the left but Mane's touch is straight at Kasper Schmeichel.

    That's Sadio Mane's 50th Premier League goal on his 100th appearance.

    Solid stat that.

    GOAL - Liverpool 1-0 Leicesterpublished at 40 mins

    Sadio Mane

    It's an exceptional pass from James Milner on the left to feed in Sadio Mane. Jonny Evans is beaten by the run and Mane keeps his cool to slot it into the bottom right corner.

    Lovely goal.

    Ricology: Just having a good RB and playing counterattack on the flanks doesn't make Brendan Rodgers approach to the game more different!

    Richard: Cracking game at Anfield, two truly exciting sides.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 40 mins

    Liverpool 0-0 Leicester

    Fabinho brings down James Maddison as the midfielder tries to break. Naughty!

  18. GREAT SAVE!published at 38 mins

    Liverpool 0-0 Leicester

    It's actually Ben Chilwell who takes it and he curls it right onto the head of Caglar Soyuncu. The defender is offside but Adrian doesn't know when he pulls off an excellent point-blank save to deny him!

    The resulting corner bounces dangerously in the six yard box before it's eventually cleared. Sadio Mane then brings down Youri Tielemans this time and James Maddison will whip another free-kick in.
