Sadio Mane is two yards out when he gets on the end of Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross but Tom Heaton makes a vital block as the ball cannons off the keeper's shoulder.

That's a huge chance for Liverpool who are enduring a frustrating day in the West Midlands.

There is just no way through this Southampton defence at the moment. They are defending very narrow, leaving space out wide and encouraging crosses into a crowded penalty area.

City have had 41 of those from open play alone in the first hour, and are still waiting for their first shot on target - so it is safe to say Saints' ploy is working, so far.

Davy Pröpper bends an effort over the bar for Brighton, who keep chipping away without any joy.

Leandro Trossard is on now for Pascal Gross.

Arsenal have sent on 18-year-old Brazilian forward Gabriel Martinelli for Alexandre Lacazette. Wolves have around half an hour to find an equaliser.

Newcastle are conserving energy now, managing this game to the final whistle. West Ham are plugging away but not really troubling the visitors' defence.

There’s still a long way to go, I don’t know if it might be interesting for Aston Villa to put El Mohamady on one wing and Taylor on the other wing to stop Liverpool full-backs coming forward, because the two wide men at the moment are not helping defensively a great deal.

David McGoldrick forces Nick Pope into a diving save to keep out his header. Sheffield United are not easing up. They want more goals.

Wolves equalised late at Newcastle last week and they are pushing the Gunners as they look to level.

Southampton look like a completely different side. They have players behind the ball and they all know what they are doing, they all look organised. They will have had a rocket of late from their manager, they will not want to see that again and today they are showing some real fire and when they get the ball back they are trying to play.

The wind is whistling through the Amex as Norwich line up a free-kick. Brighton clear but Norwich pick up the ball and attack again.A decent start to the second half by the visitors.

It's been a good first half in the Premier League. Obviously all eyes are on the Liverpool and Manchester City games and I am looking forward to seeing how it pans out. I still think there will be a change in results there. I think Liverpool and Manchester City will win. It's just a matter of time.

Should be 4-0!

He picks out Roberto Firmino with a cross but the Brazilian's shot lands in Wolverhampton.

The Blades are coasting to three points and have just won another corner in the early stages of the second half.
