- 0' KICK OFF: Liverpool FC gets underway.
- 5' Scotland international Andrew Robertson has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 10' Liverpool FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Leicester City FC backline.
- 15' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 20' Nampalys Mendy has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 354 appearances.
- 21' What composure from Jonny Evans! The Northern Ireland international strokes it home. 0-1.
- 26' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Kasper Schmeichel suffering a number of foals already.
- 31' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 36' The energy levels are beginning to show. Brendan Rodgers might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 41' What a moment for Diogo Jota! That strike on 41 puts his side firmly in control.
- 45' The referee calls foul for James Justin. He receives a Yellow card.
- 50' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Liverpool FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 53' Neco Williams gets the nod from Liverpool FC. He replaces Naby Keita and will look to change the dynamic.
- 54' A tactical swap from Liverpool FC — Neco Williams on, Naby Keita off on 54 minutes.
- 59' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 62' A tactical swap from Leicester City FC — Dennis Praet on, Christian Fuchs off on 62 minutes.
- 66' That is a Yellow card for Leicester City FC. Nampalys Mendy will be fuming at that decision.
- 71' The home supporters are growing impatient. Liverpool FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 76' Liverpool FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
