Almost the equaliser for Newcastle! Dan Burn gets up to meet a ball sent to the back post and sends a downward header that looks certain to hit the back of the net, but Alphonse Areola saves.

Mitoma just looks slightly off it. I don't know if it is fatigued from the fixtures that they have had but he's just looked a little bit off it.

How has he missed?!

Liverpool work a golden chance for Ryan Gravenberch at the back post as a low ball slips between Albion defence and keeper to leave the midfielder with an empty net.

Instead of finding it, he sends his rising effort against the bar.

Miguel Almiron darts into the box, but darts a bit too far and runs the ball out of play.

That sort of sums up Newcastle at the moment - things are just not coming off.

Chance!

Joao Pedro sets up Evan Ferguson on the edge of the box but he curls his effort wide.

Huge moment early in this second half. It was a fantastic ball by Ferguson and Adingra carves in on his left.

Again, Alisson saves Liverpool.

Hwang Hee-chan has taken an arm to the nose from Diego Carlos, leaving him needing a bit of treatment and a cotton bud shoved up his nostril. He'll be OK to carry on, much to Wolves' relief.

A good West Ham move almost comes off as Lucas Paqueta flicks the ball into the box for Jarrod Bowen, but Fabian Schar takes no chances to knock behind for a corner.

In comes the delivery and it is a well-worked move as Edson Alvarez makes a late run into the box, he isn't picked up but sends a glancing header just wide.

He is going to have energy and legs in that engine room.

We spoke in the first half about Liverpool bypassing he midfield and getting it forward and playing from there. That's what they have just done at the start of the second half.

Great save!

Simon Adingra charges away down the left and cuts inside a backtracking Reds defender. He has just Alisson to beat but fails to do so as the visiting keeper is quickly off his line to save.

Anon: That is Mo Salah for you, keeps delivering even when LFC is off the boil.

Silvio: De Zerbi gifted two goals by being a football extremist. This is awful football.

First chance of the half goes to the visitors, with Ollie Watkins drawing a save from Jose Sa with a fine first-time effort from inside the box.

Tomas Soucek had just nine touches of the ball in the first half but one of those was the most important of all.

Newcastle will hope to be much better in this second half.

Jon: Double jeopardy rule doesn’t apply as it was a deliberate pull, not a challenge to play the ball.

Rhys: Double jeopardy doesn’t apply if you don’t actually try and play the ball!!!!!

Also a change here at the break. Rayan Ait-Nouri, who took that heavy blow in the first half, is off with Matt Doherty on.

A change here. Ryan Gravenberch is off the bench for the fourth Premier League match in a row, replacing Harvey Elliott.

Nobody is home and dry yet. Far from it. A lot can happen in 45 minutes.

The three second halves are getting back under way...

Liam: I'm a Liverpool fan but that's not a red card because of the double jeopardy rule. Come on folks, know the rules before you complain.

Jay: Re 14:51 texts.. Double jeopardy probably applies.
