Welcome to LIVE coverage of Liverpool v Cardiff City from Anfield!

Cardiff clear a final Pool corner and there is the final whistle! They kind of made harder work of that in the second half than they should have but it's another strong win for Liverpool and another tremendous shift from the record-shattering Suarez. They're top for at least 48 hours!

Sterling has a distance drive blocked before Sahko is inches away from getting an outstretched foot on an early ball in from the left moments later, from two yards out at the far post.

We close the Twitter interaction with a bold prediction from one Reds fan, but one we just can't discount at present - "LFC will lift the EPL this season. Man City can be neutralised & Arsenal will only have that 2-0 against us to celebrate" says @george_ruzv

Four minutes of added time will be played, at least.

Suarez disagrees, of course. He wants that hat-trick and he forces a smothering save from Marshall on his low first-time finish as he slips between two defenders to latch onto a through pass.

That set piece is taken short and despite Cardiff having a few chances for 3-2, we look to be peetering out for a comfortable Liverpool win now.

Johnson - who has switched to the left since Flanagan made way for Kelly - wins a free-kick on that very wing under pressure from two Cardiff players.

Liverpool’s tally of 82 Premier League goals in 2013 is their best-ever total in a calendar year in the PL era – beating the previous best of 79 set in 2009.

Capt'n Agger's first contribution is to concede a corner, which is headed out for a Cardiff attacking throw.

@pushkar_np says "Still have doubts over Liverpool's credentials as a side challenging for the title if they continue to concede as they did today" - it's last call for contributions to the coverage, get them in via Twitter @liamhappe

Agger appears to have also taken the armband from Suarez.

Sensible sub from Brendan Rodgers sees Coutinho replaced by Daniel Agger.

Another Liverpool counter this time ends with Suarez, who jinks inside KTC and curls wide of the far post.

Coutinho follows suit at the other end with a wild right-footer from 20. Marshall rushes to get the goal kick set up and underway as Cardiff look for the goal that would ensure a very uncomfortable finale for a Liverpool side who could easily have been 5-0 or 6-0 up.

Noone - who along with Whittingham has stood out for Cardiff despite this being The Suarez Show - sends an ill-advised shot from distance well wide.

Suarez sparks a Reds counter but when he feeds Allen so he can move into a goal-threatening position, the midfielder waits far too long to release Henderson on the right. His pass is intercepted and he fouls Caulker trying to over-compensate.

Another Pool corner is met well by Allen, despite being surrounded by blue shirts. He heads it over.

Liverpool have lost only twice at home in the Premier League in 2013 (vs Southampton and West Brom). Only Everton (none) and Man City & Chelsea (one) have lost fewer home matches of those ever-present clubs this calendar year.

Liverpool have conceded five goals from free-kick situations in the PL this season – only West Ham have conceded more this term (6). They have looked particularly vulnerable in those scenarios today.

Sterling is through! Shouts for a penalty as he goes down trying to round Marshall but Suarez has kept running and has a crack at a tight angle... hits the post!
