    Ayling got there too early. It was a lovely ball, but he's not an accomplished finisher. Better play from Leeds; they are taking the extra pass and not forcing it.

    Further issues for Marcelo Bielsa and Leeds to deal with.

    It looks like Diego Llorente has succumbed to a hamstring injury and cannot continue. The Spaniard hobbles off.

    On comes Pascal Struijk in his place at centre back.

    How that early Rodrigo chance is proving costly now, it was bound to.

    Liverpool have control of this game now. They are ripping through Leeds far too easily. And it is is reflected in the home crowd reaction, which has switched from unqualified backing to something a bit more hostile and frustrated.

    It's all Liverpool, they can put the game to bed before half-time here.
