    60'
    The two sets of fans in full voice to fill the time while the Blues assess their keeper. He's limping but looks like he's going to carry on for now.
    59'
    Play halted as Stekelenburg receives treatment.
    58'
    Baines hacks clear and clatters into Stekelenburg after Firmino's back heel had threatened to find Mane from the one-two. The Blues keeper is down injured.
    57'
    Lovren body checks Lukaku after the forward try to use his pace to pull clear. Yellow card.

    At least we've had a shot on target now!

    Lukaku improvises with a spinning back header that flies just wide of Mignolet's near post.
    53'
    Milner nicks the ball off Valencia deep in Everton territory. Firmino lines up the shot but Gueye gets back to make a vital challenge.

    Liverpool bossing this opening to the second period.
    50'
    BIG CHANCE FOR LIVERPOOL! Firmino races onto Milner's ball over the top but sees his shot from a one-on-one situation blocked by Stekelenburg. The Brazilian tries to tee up a teammate but two get in each other's way before Clyne's follow-up is blocked.
    50'
    Liverpool already looking like they have moved up a gear. Much more purpose about their play. They win their first corner but Everton eventually clear their lines.
    49'
    A nice moment for Barry in terms of the all-time PL appearance list. Now, can he make it even better by helping Everton to a rare derby success?
    48'
    How long before Klopp makes a change? He'll have demanded much more from his side. That first period was not what he has come to expect from his LFC team.
    47'
    EVERTON CHANGE at the interval: The injured McCarthy off, Gareth Barry on.

    Free kick to Liverpool on the left close to the byline. Origi tugged back and then scythed down by Barkley.
    44'
    Funes Mori is left unmarked from the right-wing corner but can only thump his header wide. Let off for the visitors.
    43'
    A comedy of errors from both teams as Everton attack down the right. The hosts eventually win a corner....
