Re. Nick at 19:56. And even Alisson can produce an error. You only have to look at the Arsenal game to support that. Keepers are too often judged on their mistakes.

A lovely ball over the top finds Luis Diaz on the stretch but it's just wide.
Moments later Thomas Kaminski is forced into a save by Ryan Gravenberch.

This would be a good time for Joe Gomez to score his first goal in a Liverpool shirt. The defender has a pop from outside the box. He doesn't get it on target.

It's not happening for Liverpool right now. Six attempts but only one on target. Another move breaks down as Alexis Mac Allister's pass falls behind Luis Diaz before Ryan Gravenberch's attempt from outside the box is charged down.

Ross Barkley has just produced an outrageous long range pass that almost produced another chance for the visitors. What a signing he has been.

More frustration for the Reds.
Harvey Elliott, who has been one of Liverpool's busier players, is almost in with only the keeper to beat but Luton manage to get it away.

Not sure it's a 'shock' lead for Luton tonight. Liverpool might still have stars, but that injury list is massive and would disrupt any side.

Image source, ReutersLiverpool have won six corners in the opening quarter of an hour. They need to make one of these count. Now Alfie Doughty has been booked for grabbing Ryan Gravenberch's shirt.

Should Caoimhín Kelleher have done better with that?
Liverpool are trying to respond but Luton are back in numbers.
Chiedozie Ogbene

Luton, who have spent the opening minutes on the back-foot, take the lead after Tahith Chong's attempt flies off Caoimhín Kelleher into the path of Chiedozie Ogbene who heads into the net from close range.

Back-to-the-wall for Luton.
Another inviting cross by Harvey Elliott is just about scrambled clear before Cody Gakpo's acrobatic attempt is straight at Thomas Kaminski.

Luis Díaz is everywhere!
He's won another free-kick but Cody Gakpo is unable to make contact after the ball in pinged into the box.

He looks eager to step up in the absence of Mo Salah and Darwin Nunez.

Delicious pass by Harvey Elliott to find Luis Diaz on the edge of the box. The Colombian creates space for himself before curling a shot just wide of Thomas Kaminski's post.

By the time he controls a long punt forward, Luton are back in numbers.

Fast start by Liverpool. Two corners inside the opening minute with Luis Díaz winning one of them.
