Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of Liverpool v Stoke City from Anfield. A 4pm kick-off in this one.

There goes the final whistle! A 4-1 win for Liverpool, who leapfrog Stoke into eighth spot in the Premier League table. All too comfortable for Jurgen Klopp's side.

Crouch with a deflected volley at goal. Fine effort, but ball ends up a few yards wide of the target.

We are heading for two minutes of time added on.

No sign of a hat-trick for Origi, but has probably done enough to land a spot in Liverpool's team to face Dortmund on Thursday.

Lallana has an effort at goal, but it comes off Shawcross before the ball flies over the bar for a corner to the home team.

Most of the Liverpool fans remaining in their seats to congratulate their team for an impressive afternoon, and three well deserved three points.

Mignolet showing awareness to come off his line to collect the ball above the head of Crouch. No mean feat.

Hughes having to cope without the loss of Jack Butland. Not sure Haugaard is the answer. At least not at the moment.

On comes Muniesa and off goes Pieters for Stoke. Pieters none too happy as he walks past Hughes without looking at him.

Real frustration for Shawcross, who is playing only his second game since January after back problems.

Stoke trying to keep the ball before Origi manages to race away from Shawcross, who is booked for a foul on the home forward.

A standing ovation for Joe Allen for a performance full of industry. Liverpool on their way to leapfrogging Stoke in the table.

Another change coming here for Liverpool as Lucas takes over from Joe Allen for the home side.

Joe Allen battling hard to win the ball back from Imbula. Has been a fine work ethic from the home team today.

Crouch with a trip on Milner. Liverpool will take the free-kick in their own half. Stoke would probably take 4-1 at the moment.

Cameron with a late challenge on Allen. Poor play really by Cameron. Liverpool back in possession. Have been the dominant force in this second period.
