Chances are starting to come for Liverpool now, Everton will need to stay alert at the back. They've done a sterling job so far.

Liverpool have a glorious chance for the leveller when Trent Alexander-Arnold breezes past Lucas Digne and drills a cross into the six yard box, Sadio Mane thinks he has a tap-in but Mason Holgate stretches out a leg to divert the ball away.

In the next move, Mane heads over unchallenged from six yards out. A bad miss but he was stretching a little.

Jordan Pickford's handling - in tricky conditions - has been spot on so far, plucking Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross at the back post.

Richarlison gets a second...but he is miles offside.

Could have seen that from space.

Liverpool on the front foot at the start of the second half and force an opening as Andrew Robertson's cross is met by Sadio Mane, but the header while back peddling is gathered by Jordan Pickford.

David Spencer: Everton will now play 10 men behind the ball...play narrow and force Liverpool wide. They will deal with the crosses and then score on the counter attack... A frustrated Liverpool Fan

RSm: At this rate, we'll be seeing Firmino as a Liverpool centre back soon.

Mikey: I think Ozan Kabak has been good so far for Liverpool. Yeah, the odd error will occur, but he's 20 years old, in a new country with a new language. Give him time.

Can Everton go on and complete the job?

They won't get a better chance to beat Liverpool.

Away we go for the second half.

Liverpool are out on the pitch for the second half, but the team-talk continues from Jurgen Klopp, getting his men in a huddle and sending a few more instructions.

Sore subject, Liverpool fans?

This is only the second time Everton have led at half-time in a Premier League game at Anfield; the only other occasion was September 1999 - their last league win away at Liverpool.

Noel: We've done brilliantly to come back from the double whammy of the goal and the loss of Henderson. We are the better side, but we need another body in the box for when the ball drops (... Origi?!)

Akinpelu: Liverpool must be irritated by the way they are being hurried, harassed and pressed by Everton

Tom Davies quietly going about his business for Everton, his four tackles is more than any other player on the pitch.

He has also won the ball back three times.

Mark in Stockport: If City had as many injuries as Liverpool they would still be top because they have a team of 20 top class players. Liverpool have been lucky with injuries over the past few seasons and Klopp new he had a weak bench, he said as much and now it's showing.

Richarlison's third-minute goal the difference between the two sides at the break.

Liverpool appealing for a handball from an Everton player but I think that's more in frustration at how the half has gone than anything else.

VAR had the briefest of looks at it.

Now that is a stat!

John Arundell: Everton look the more threatening team, when was the last time you would have said that about a derby at Anfield.

Innocent Abroad: Only five more goals needed to leapfrog Liverpool—each increases Everton's goal difference & decreases Liverpool's—so a 6-0 final would put Everton on +8 on Liverpool on +7. This is VERY important to bear in mind, obviously

The number crunching started early...

Liverpool centre-half Ozan Kabak's uneasy afternoon continues, into the book for a knee in the back of Seamus Coleman.

Andre Gomes really needs to be careful here, he goes in on Curtis Jones and the ref gives a free-kick.

Treading on thin ice.

Jordan Pickford is playing well, he has made two super stops to deny Liverpool and comes off his line to gather Mohamed Salah's high punt into the area.
