Chants of 'Si Senor' echo around Anfield once more.

What a goodbye it would be if Roberto Firmino could come off the bench and save Liverpool this afternoon.

Villa are standing off and letting Liverpool have the ball at the start of the second half.

A standing ovation as David Brooks comes off. A huge step on his road to recovery. On comes massive Kieffer Moore.

Bournemouth have had their moments and there is another one. Manchester United are sloppy on the ball and it's turned over, Dom Solanke gets space inside the area, his angle is horrid and he pulls a shot right across goal. He needed a clone in the middle.

It's going to be a difficult second half for Everton with them having lost Calvert-Lewin and Patterson to injury in the first half.

You've got to look at Lopetegui's in game management, which has been excellent. He has caused Everton all sorts of problems by shifting Podence and Traore around the front line.

The rotation of personnel within the Wolves system has been excellent and has made all the difference.

We're back under way at Anfield now too, where we had nine minutes of first-half stoppage time.

The departing Roberto Firmino and James Milner were out warming up during the interval. Can they play a role as the Reds attempt to turn this around?

Uh oh. Another Everton player is down injured, Amadou Onana this time.

After a couple of minutes he is back up on his feet again, to Everton fans' relief.

A huge chance for Fulham seconds into the second half! Aleksandar Mitrovic starts the move and gets to the back stick to meet Harry Wilson's pull back, but for once the big striker fluffs his connection and scuffs it wide of the near post. The goal was gaping there.

Lovely dragback from Antony out on the Manchester United right and he wins a free-kick from Lloyd Kelly. There's plenty of chat about that decision among the ranks. The ball in is a good one but Bournemouth hook it out.

Bournemouth come out flying and David Brooks has David de Gea at full stretch with a rasping shot from about 15 yards out. It was central but had plenty of go behind it and the Spaniard tips it over.

It was quite an eventful first half at Anfield...

22 mins - Ollie Watkins misses penalty

27 mins - Jacob Ramsey scores for Villa

46 mins - VAR check for Tyrone Mings red card

50 mins - VAR check for possible Liverpool penalty

So far, so good for Aston Villa. Liverpool need a huge second half, with a top-four place slipping away.

Not great for Everton. Not great at all.

Everton are not only behind but have lost two players to injury, most crucially Dominic Calvert-Lewin. He had been a threat in that opening 45 minutes but his body has let him down again.

Sean Dyche's side just started to look a little dispirited towards the end of that half.

Everton are looking around for some direction. Shoulders have started to drop.

The conversation between Pickford and his defenders has been constant throughout the first half, but you could see the shouting and blame culture coming in after the goal.

They need togetherness, they need cameraderie not criticism.

From starting the game so well to almost begging for the half time whistle, Sean Dyche needs to get Everton re-organised and re-focussed.

That's a proper penalty from Aleksandar Mitrovic, it's a really good penalty. I think Harry Wilson does well to win the penalty in the first place, there's no doubt about that.

Wilson has just come inside Tyrick Mitchell and it's unfortunate for the defender.

Mitrovic has taken that penalty like he has never been away.

It's fairly remarkable, given their rather drought-like form in the last decade, that Manchester United are unbeaten in their last 134 Premier League matches when leading at half-time (W115, D19) dating back to 21st September 2014 against Leicester City.

After nine minutes of stoppage time, the whistle finally goes for half-time at Anfield and Aston Villa do go in ahead after a fine first-half showing.

Liverpool's Champions League hopes hang by a thread.
