It's the end of Liverpool's fab four up front. Xherdan Shaqiri replaces Roberto Firmino. That means Diogo Jota keeps his place.

Very cool play by City defender Kyle Walker who takes the ball past his own goalkeeper to stop Sadio Mane, run across the six-yard box - in front of an empty net - and clear.

What a ball, what a run. Gabriel Jesus has just tried to generate the power himself and heads it too hard. Big chance.

Kevin de Bruyne goes as close from 25 yards as he did from the penalty spot. Good play by Gabriel Jesus who lays the ball off to De Bruyne, who shoots just over the bar.

Sadio Mane charges forward for Liverpool and the move ends with Andy Robertson blasting over the bar.

Big chance for Gabriel Jesus to put City ahead. Rodri clips a wonderful ball into the box, Jesus is absolutely free but heads wide from eight yards out.

It's been three minutes since anything happened. Booooo.

Both exactly the same - City on the right, ball across and Allison gathers it, Liverpool on the left and Ederson punches it away. What a start to the second half, both keepers in the thick of the action.

Doesn't look like any cautious messages have been issued by Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp at half-time. It's still the same full throttle stuff we saw before the break.

Who has stood out so far? You can rate the players here.

Poor finish by Diogo Jota, whose low, weak shot is straight at Ederson. The in-form Liverpool forward should have done better.

End to end. Both keepers are involved in the space of seconds. Liverpool have a chance and then City counter but Kevin de Bruyne's cross is stopped by Alisson.

This is the opposite of the first half so far, just stop-start. Joao Cancelo fouls Diogo Jota seconds later.

Kevin de Bruyne is back on the pitch.

Kevin de Bruyne needs treatment and hobbles to the sideline. That was the first booking of the game.

Clattered. Joel Matip brings down Kevin de Bruyne 30 seconds after the restart and goes into the book.

The second half begins.

The players are back out for the second half. More of the same please.

Tom: My watch thought I was doing a workout watching that first half

Noel: Cracking game, credit to both sides! With the ball zipping off that surface there's plenty of time for a few more goals/penalties/mistakes yet!

Yves: Yes, I also think that the 2020 PFA player of the year should be marked as overrated for missing one penalty

It would be nice if people could just talk about a good football game and not VAR/the handball rule.
