Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of what could be a significant clash in this season's Premier League title race. Liverpool host Chelsea hoping to maintain their push for a first championship since 1990. The encounter will no doubt conjure up memories of the last time these sides met in a similar scenario, when the Merseysiders saw their title hopes come unstuck back in 2014. Jose Mourinho's men upset Steven Gerrard and Co then - but can Eden Hazard inspire the Blues to ensure lightning strikes twice today and bolster their own top four bid? Kick off 16:30 BST.

End of 1st Half

HT: Liverpool 0-0 Chelsea.

45+3'

As it stands, City would stay top on goal difference, but Guardiola's men still have that game in hand. Chelsea would remain fourth.

Three minutes added.

Kepa makes a smart save to keep out Firmino's flick from Alexander-Arnold's sublime left-wing free kick.

The flag was up so it wouldn't have counted, but that was some delivery from the Reds' right back.

Azpilicueta booked for halting Mane in full flow.

Alisson's weak clearance falls kindly for Loftus-Cheek. He finds Willian who exchanges a one-two with Kante before seeing a tame long-range drive hit a defender. Liverpool eventually clear.

The first murmurs of nerves from the stands are creeping in at Anfield.

STAT: Liverpool have won three and draw one of their four home matches versus the other top six sides this season.

Rudiger is down again. It looks like he'll have to come off.

38'

CLOSE! Salah rampages in from the right and lays the ball into the path of Mane, who flashes a first-time effort on the run a few yards wide of Kepa's left-hand post.

36'

Hazard jinks at three Liverpool defenders. He's all alone, but more than capable of going solo...

But Fabinho continues his impressive start and nicks the ball off the Chelsea talisman 22 yards from goal. That was an important intervention from the midfielder.

35'

Firmino and Salah have contrasting fortunes in recent times at Anfield. The Brazilian has scored 7 goals in his last 6 Premier League home appearances while Salah has not scored in his last five L4 outings.

The Egyptian has had Liverpool's best chance so far.

33'

Liverpool probing almost all of the time, but they've not really created much in terms of actual chances so far.

32'

Hmmm...

31'

Luiz breaks up a Liverpool attack and sets Willian free. The Brazilian jinks inside into a central area but hammers his 20-yard shot wide of Alisson's left-hand post.

A succession of Liverpool corners are well defended by the visiting rearguard, but the Merseysiders keep the pressure on.

Salah nods Fabinho's high ball down for Henderson, who sees his 18-yard drive deflect wide.
