FULL TIME
Stoke hold Liverpool to a draw.
In normal circumstances a point for Stoke – who have never won a top-flight game at Anfield – is a great result but in reality Paul Lambert’s side needed to win the match to have any chance of maintaining their top-flight status.
90'+5
Firmino looks to the referee after he goes to the ground after contact from Pieters but again Andre Marriner isn't interested.
90'+3
The corner is defended by Stoke but Liverpool come again. The ball is swung into the danger area but Wijnaldum heads over.
90'+2
Henderson's shot from 25 yards is deflected behind for a corner and Liverpool have a chance with the resulting corner...
90'+1
Liverpool goalkeeper coach John Achterberg was sent to the stands for complaining to the officials about Andre Marriner's decision not to award the penalty minutes ago.

SO CLOSE!
What a chance for Stoke! Diouf drills a low ball across the face of goal but Shawcross can't guide it in at the back post. That was the moment for the Potters.

PENALTY SHOUT! Wijnaldum’s cross cannons off the arm of Erik Pieters hand but Andre Marriner doesn't give it!
81'
Moreno and Ndiaye are both down hurt and needing treatment, but they should be OK to continue.
80'
We are now into the final 10 minutes and Stoke need to show more ambition to win this game.
78'
'Attack, attack' is the chant from the travelling supporters. In reality, a point is little good to Stoke.

Yet another appeal from the Kop as Van Dijk goes to ground, but there was minimal contact.
75'
Zouma makes a crucial intervention to hack Moreno's back-post cross behind, with Salah lurking.
74'
Stoke haven't created enough today, or this season. They have netted only 33 times in the league. And that's why they are likely to be relegated.

Yet the visitors are still hanging on. Would they take a point now?

WIDE!
Moreno launches a left-footed shot from 25 yards, he should work Butland, but it drifts wide of the Stoke goalkeeper's post.
