GOAL!

Jones does well as he picks the ball up near his own box and skips away from the challenge before releasing Gakpo down the left. The Dutchman lays it back to Jones, who surges towards the box and slips a brilliant through ball into the path of Jota, who duly sweeps it past Fabianski.

48 mins

There were shouts for a penalty as the ball popped up onto Gomez’s arm in the box, but it would’ve been incredibly harsh. His arm was right by his side.

46 mins

Jota switches it across to Gakpo, who hangs a cross up to the back post, but it’s headed behind for a corner. The ball in falls to Jones on the edge of the area, but he blasts well over.

KICK-OFF!

Liverpool get us back underway at Anfield.

This game is finely poised – with no extra-time tonight, we’ll head to penalties if it stays this way.

A reminder too that the draw for the next round follows the conclusion of this match.

An entertaining half for the neutral at Anfield, and a good chance to get a look at some of the home side’s fringe players.

Federico Chiesa has been particularly bright, though Endo and Quansah haven’t done much to prove themselves to Arne Slot.

Jota, Nunez and Gakpo have also been good, with the former two perhaps batting for a starting berth at the weekend.

West Ham have been limited to counter-attacks and set-pieces throughout, though they have proved that they can be dangerous from both.

Liverpool have certainly had the better of it, but it’s all to play for in the second half.
