It should be 3-1. Mohamed Salah is played in by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's centre-circle pass. Salah, who is too quick for Matt Ritchie, heads the ball into the box and then slots wide of the far post. You'd fully expect him to score from there.

Newcastle don't clear a Liverpool corner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain controls and hooks a half-volley over the bar.

It feels a long time ago that Newcastle lead.

Fabian Schar is stretching as he just turns Mohamed Salah's cross over the bar before Sadio Mane gets there.

Mohamed Salah has 24 Premier League goal involvements this season (15 goals, nine assists).

In Premier League history, only Alan Shearer in 1994-95 has registered more before Christmas in a single campaign (25 - 16 goals, nine assists).

Liverpool are very much on top now. Newcastle can't clear Mohamed Salah's cross and Jordan Henderson heads the ball into the path of Diogo Jota, whose volley sails over the bar.

It has been all Chelsea, the Blues end the half with 81% possession and 13 shots at goal but the main statistic remains 0-0.

Everton have held out and now look like they are growing into the game.

Abdoulaye Doucoure bustles through the centre of the pitch with his long legs, but is hacked down from behind by Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

A yellow for the Chelsea midfielder.

Martin Dubravka has been unlucky. The Newcastle keeper has made three saves but two of them saw the rebound tucked home.

Mohamed Salah has never failed to score against Newcastle at Anfield.

He equals Jamie Vardy's record of scoring or creating a goal in 15 consecutive Premier League matches.

This was his 15th Premier League goal of the season.

The Armchair Football Fan: Oh look, it's an Eddie Howe side that can't defend. Who saw that coming?

Finally some work to do for Edouard Mendy but it is simple for the Chelsea goalkeeper, grasping Anthony Gordon's weak drive from long range.

"We know what we are, champions of Europe, we know what we are," is the half-hearted chant from the Chelsea supporters.

Their side are struggling to break down a stubborn Everton backline at the moment.

Liverpool have scored in their last 32 games in all competitions, their longest scoring run.

Allan Saint-Maximin is in... but his shot from the edge of the box is saved well by a big hand from Alisson.

Eddie Howe feels extremely aggrieved but it was his own players who fouled each other.

Issac Hayden is back on after treatment. He had collided with Fabian Schar to lead to that problem. The goal stands though.

Brilliant football from Chelsea but Jordan Pickford continues to deny the home side.

Mason Mount plays the ball into the box for...Antonio Rudiger???

Like a seasoned striker, the Chelsea defender holds the ball up and plays a cute return pass to Mount who is one-on-one with Pickford, but the England number one sticks out a little foot to keep out the strike.

Arjun Singh: Holgate should be off the pitch with two yellows by now. This sort of soft refereeing will result in unnecessary injury.
