Chelsea vs West Ham LIVE: Premier League results, final scores and reaction from today’s games

42 mins: Richarlison has gone down after heading the ball clear. That’s a new one. Injured from heading the ball. The dark arts at work from Franky Lamps.

Jurgen Klopp has a wry smile on his face. He knows what his Merseyside rivals are trying to do.

40 mins: Salah lofts a ball to Mane at the back post. He tries to nod down for Jota in the middle but Holgate is there to clear away the danger once more.

Keita then finds Jota in a dangerous position inside the penalty area but Mykolenko nicks it away from his feet and out for another Liverpool corner.

Alexander-Arnold delivers and hits Richarlison at the front post.

38 mins: Jordan Pickford is being booed every time the ball goes out for a goal kick. In fairness, he is averaging about a minute per kick.

There is definitely a growing sense of frustration in the stadium, though. Liverpool’s attacking players have been kept worryingly quiet in this opening 38 minutes at Anfield.

36 mins: Liverpool struggling to locate the gaps in this 11-man Everton defence. As soon as they try to string some passes together in the final third there is a blue shirt there to close them down.

Fabinho tries to clip one over the top for Salah but Mykolenko heads clear.

34 mins: Chance for Everton! Thiago is caught in possession and Richarlison swiftly sends the ball into Doucoure who has space to shoot. The midfielder takes it on but, under pressure from Matip, drags his effort wide of the far post.

A warning for Klopp’s men.

32 mins: This time Thiago picks Salah out with a quite delicious crossfield pass. He cuts inside before Allan puts it behind for another corner.

Everton scramble the set-piece clear again. Liverpool moving into second gear.

Robertson pulls a ball back for Jota but his effort is off target. The home side still yet to create a real gilt-edged opportunity.

30 mins: Alexander-Arnold sends the corner in but Keane thumps a header clear. Thiago then tries to pick the Liverpool right-back out with a crossfield pass but he was in an offside position.

Everton defending well as we head into the final 15 minutes of the first half.

28 mins: Jurgen Klopp will want to see more from Jota and Salah in the final third. They are yet to really get into the game.

The temperature is heading up at Anfield though. Coleman and Jota have just squared up to one another after Coleman had hold of Jota’s shirt. Few handbags but nothing more than that.

The resulting Liverpool free-kick is whipped in dangerously by Robertson and Holgate flicks it behind for a corner.

26 mins: Oh, hello! We have our first piece of drama here today.

Pickford kicks an 80-yard pass straight to the feet of Gordon. He cuts inside before going down inside the area under a ‘challenge’ from Keita.

Referee Craig Pawson deems it to be a dive and he books Gordon. Replay shows it was indeed a dive.

24 mins: Richarlison receives the ball just inside the Liverpool box and manages to force a corner despite being surrounded by three red shirts.

Gordon swings it in and Mane heads it clear of danger.
