    The angle of the pass from Roberto Firmino to Mohamed Salah for that chance was wrong. The Egyptian wanted it on his other foot.

    Four on four, but Mohamed Salah's first touch, as he tried to set himself up, from Roberto Firmino's pass is too heavy.

    Ten to go.

    VAR has been the final nail in the coffin for football as we knew it..RIP.

    Steve in North Wales

    If these "offsides" continue, then the game we love has gone. We should be doing everything we can to increase the number of goals, not chalk them off. Joke.

    Get rid of VAR it's the most anti football thing invented its ruining this season's football it's clearly not the future of our game football is about goals not being 5 millimetres offside I'm a Leicester fan and I feel for wolves they seem to be having the worst of it. Bin it off in May and let's never talk about it again fans players and managers have had enough it's no longer fun to watch.

    Man City 0-0 Sheff Utd

    The Blades are doing much of the pressing in these opening moments at the Etihad.

    Lys Mousset doesn't get enough of a head on Callum Robinson's cross from the left - might have had something to do with Oleksandr Zinchenko's boot near his face - and nods wide.

    A good chance for the visitors.

    A little bit tasty there as Max Kilman gets involved with Mohamed Salah on the right-hand touchline.

    The two usually placid characters walk away from each other calmly.

    About 15 to go.

    That's something you don't see very often... a mistake from Virgil van Dijk! There were several swear words from fans behind me before some relieved giggling when Alisson made the save. What a huge chance for Wolves!

    Stephen Gillatt: Fans pay to watch football. Do a poll. Ask them if they want VAR in the game. Then when the response is unanimously against... Bin it.

    Peter Lloyd: Klopp won't admit the title chase is over for the other Premier League teams, but VAR has decided Liverpool are champions.

    Angus McClymont: If there is a power outage at Stockley Park aka VAR central, does the game get postponed as the ref has to think for himself?

    A ball from Mohamed Salah finds its way to Sadio Mane in the area, who goes down under the challenge of Jonny.

    The Senegal forward went down too easily according to ref Anthony Taylor.

    In all fairness, there weren't many protests.

    Roberto Firmino had more time than he realised. It looked like Mohamed Salah would shoot initially and I think that's what caught his Liverpool team-mate off guard a little.

    Substitutes: Gundogan, Gabriel Jesus, Mendy, Joao Cancelo, Otamendi, Carson, Foden.

    Muhamed Besic makes his first start in midfield since signing on a season-long loan from Everton.

    Forward Callum Robinson is recalled along with French forward Lys Mousset. John Lundstram is not involved in the 18 while David McGoldrick and Oli McBurnie drop to the bench.

    Sheffield United XI: Henderson, Basham, Egan, O'Connell, Baldock, Besic, Norwood, Fleck, Stevens, Robinson, Mousset.

    Substitutes: Freeman, McBurnie, Sharp, Jagielka, McGoldrick, Verrips, Osborn.

    As a neutral, the same as the City v Wolves game on Friday, I've now turned this game off at half-time. VAR has turned the game into a farce.

    Richard in London

    Ridiculous, baffling, bemusing, absurd, ludicrous, laughable... I am running out of words for VAR.

    Disgraceful decisions. VAR is an absolute joke.

    Adama Traore was excellent against Manchester City. Can he cause problems for Liverpool's defence today?

    Andy Robertson likes to get forward so there will be spaces left in behind for Traore to run into if Wolves play their cards right.
