90+4'
FULL-TIME: Villa 0-2 Liverpool. Delph sees a late rocket saved (at the second attempt) by Mignolet. That's our lot. Villa's wait for a goal continues...
90+3'
CHANCE! Ibe wriggles into the penalty area, evades a challenge before intelligently cutting the ball back. Skewed wide by a combination of Sterling and a Villa boot.
90+2'
Swathes of light blue seats are now visible. "Liverpool, Liverpool..." rings out around Villa Park.
90+1'
Coutinho breaks free. Tackles himself. Villa have the ball again.
90'
Four added minutes signalled.
89'
And it's Hutton who latches onto the resulting set-piece. Nope. Not to be. Cue exodus.
88'
Hutton takes a tumble near the right corner flag. Enrique looks perplexed. Time for Villa to end their goal drought. Come on chaps...
87'
Emre Can lines one up from distance... Into the stands.
86'
Wiemann does a tuck jump in frustration after Benteke refuses to pass. Nothing says 'I hate you' quite like a gymnastics routine.
85'
Markovic sends a nothing ball into the area. Guzan gobbles up. Liverpool are almost home and dry.
84'
LIVERPOOL SUB: Final change as Jordan Ibe replaces Sterling.
83'
Well, this chap - and presumably every Villa fan in the country - called it at the break.
82'
CHANCE! Delph attempts a cheeky chip from 20 yards. Onto the roof of the net.
81'
Markovic... Sterling... Lucas... Sterling... Lucas... Lambert... Villa player. Chance gone.
80'
Lambert goes into the book for celebrating his goal.
79'
GOAL! Villa 0-2 Liverpool. Lambert taps the ball to his right before unleashing a fine low effort into the corner! Super finish.
78'
Benteke heads the corner away. But the danger isn't over...
77'
Go on, Lucas! The Brazilian opens up his body and tries to feed a curling effort into the corner. Guzan dives to his left and saves.
76'
Into the final 15 minutes. Can Villa muster another chance or two?
75'
Markovic saunters down the right flank and rolls a cute flick into the path of Lambert. The England striker has plenty of time to pick out a team-mate. Instead, he passes to Guzan.
