Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of one of the biggest matches of the Premier League so far this season. Liverpool host European champions Chelsea in a clash of two teams expected to be serious title contenders. Kick off 17.30 BST.

Matip is loose in possession and Lukaku is allowed to run at him from deep. It's one-on-one but the striker trips on the ball. The Belgian almost has a chance though as Chelsea come again but a dinked ball into his path is just a tad long and Alisson comes off his line to gather,

That was Havertz's 10th goal for Chelsea. He continues to rise and rise in a blue shirt.

That was a wonderful header but dreadful marking from Liverpool's perspective. No-one went with the run and they were duly punished.

GOAL! Havertz meets a left-wing corner with a near-post run and angles a stunning looping header into the far corner.

DID YOU KNOW? A Liverpool victory today would be their 350th at Anfield in the Premier League era.

Alonso misses his kick defending a devilish cross from Robertson at the far post, but it's enough to thwart Salah who had been charging in to try and apply the finishing touch.

First sign of Lukaku. He can try his luck from 25 yards or try to play runners in on both sides. He attempts pass to the left, but it's over-cooked and Alisson is out to gather.

VIDEO: Elliott fires just wide.

Van Dijk drops to the floor and holds his head after nodding over. Anfield holds its breath but there's no major worries. The Dutchman is soon on his feet and racing back into position.

Van Dijk rises well to get on the end of a corner but can't find the target.

BIG CHANCE! Trent Alexander-Arnold rakes a sublime diagonal ball towards the run of both Firmino and Henderson. The latter reaches it on the volley inside the area but gets his side-foot effort all wrong.

Liverpool move the resulting corner clear of their area. This match is shaping up very nicely.

Mane does just enough to avert the danger after Mount's resulting free kick almost picked out Rudiger. The Liverpool man went early and almost played the Blues defender onside for a tap-in before making a vital block.

Chelsea have been under the cosh for the first few minutes here but are just starting to get their flair players into the game. Mount shows sensational skill to take a ball down and weave beyond Matip, who then brings him down.

CLOSE! Elliott seizes upon a pass from Salah and wastes little time in taking aim with a low 25-yard strike that sizzles just past the far post.

A strong spell of Liverpool pressure sees Salah and Elliott combine well down the right. The teenager clips a cross into the middle from the byline but Chelsea manage to clear their lines.
