Spurs player down

You guessed it, another Spurs player has taken to the ground. This time it's Bissouma.

No surprise that he is quickly back to his feet after shaving a few seconds off the clock.

Salah over the bar

Salah volleys over from a difficult angle from Robertson's cross to the back post. Perhaps could have taken a touch given it fell to his right foot.

Way over

Salah connects with Robertson's cross to the back post but he can't keep his effort down.

Szoboszlai scores...offside

Szoboszlai scores but the offside flag goes up. Have just seen a quick replay and he was. Just.

Chance - brilliant work from Gakpo!

Excellent work from Gakpo to get away from two defenders and cross the ball for Nunez, whose header is straight at Kinsky.

Corner for Liverpool

Salah's pass across the face nearly trickles into the far corner after a wicked deflection inside the box. Corner for the Reds.

Unlucky break

Liverpool so unfortunate there on the break, Nunez finds Gakpo who almost places it into the path of Szoboszlai but it hits him on the backside and Spurs clear.

Unlucky!

Nunez clears the corner and Liverpool break at pace but Szoboszlai can't sort his feet out to profit on Gakpo's through-ball.

Nearly for Szoboszlai

Midfielder does well to drop the shoulder inside the box and work a yard for a shot, but his effort is blocked by one of the several Spurs shirts camped inside the 18-yard box.

Pressure on

Szoboszlai and Gravenberch both see shots blocked. Liverpool trying to keep the pressure on here. Decent start without any real chances.

Corner for Tottenham

Konate fails to clear a free-kick properly and hands the away side a corner.

Ouch

Not sure Davies having a cut to the head is a spoiling tactic - unless he's cut it himself after watching too much WWE in the 1990s (in nostaliga clips, obviously) - but it has stopped the rhythm of this game.

We've not even had 15 minutes yet but it feels like this could be a long night.

Treatment for Davies

The Tottenham Hotspur defender is being treated for a cut to the head.

Spurs taking their time

Boos around the Kop as Craig Pawson awards a foul on Kinsky. Spurs taking their time over it all. It happened when the goalkeeper failed to catch a corner. Just get a sense of the visitors looking to eat away at the clock as often as possible tonight...

All the tricks in the book

We've played less than 15 minutes here at Anfield and Tottenham are already wasting time. Strap yourselves in, it could be a long night.

Corner Liverpool

Bradley wins a corner after venturing into the box down the right.

Nunez down

Liverpool's No.9 appears to be in some discomfort on the ground and is being seen to by medics. Not quite sure what's happened there.

Chance!

Szoboszlai lays the ball off to Salah for a shot from inside the box but it's straight at Kinsky.

Early thoughts

Tottenham were never going to sit back and defend this lead, and sure enough they are pressing quite high so far.

They won't change the way they play because, well, they can't according to their manager.

Hmm. We shall see.

Richarlison down

Richarlison goes down after a tangle with Van Dijk. Fair to say the Anfield crowd was less than impressed with the theatrics of the former Everton forward.

Richarlison down

Richarlison down holding his face after a tangle with Van Dijk, looked innocuous, referee didn't even stop play initially. Kop now reminding the Spurs striker of his former Everton allegiances. I'm sure you can guess how they are doing that...

Underway

Richarlison gets us underway as You'll Never Walk Alone just about finishes. Atmosphere is electric here.

Drama off the field at Anfield

The monitor next to me and Theo is showing Eastenders instead of the match. I'll be able to tell you if that is a good thing or a bad thing in about 90 minutes.

Atmosphere building

Quite the atmosphere building here as the two teams line up ad exchange handshakes. Feels like the supporters believe this is a big night. Quite right, too. Semi-finals aren't to be sniffed at.

Kick-off on its way from Anfield...

Atmosphere

Things are starting to get loud inside Anfield.

Tottenham have the whole of the bottom tier of the Anfield Road Stand for the away support, and have been belting out a few tunes.

The Kop and the rest of the home fans have responded in kind.

Big night for Nunez

Feels like a big night for Darwin Nunez.

With Diogo Jota fit again and Luis Diaz playing well, he has to take these opportunities when he is in from the start. I suspect he will give young Archie Gray plenty to worry about tonight, particularly if Spurs play with a higher line than we usually see visiting defences play here.

Big night for Jones

It promises to be a big night for Curtis Jones. The 24-year-old will be hoping for a more memorable 90 minutes than that first leg at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last month.
