(The Guardian) 35 min: Rupp combines briskly with Cantwell down the right. For a split second it looks as though they’ve opened Liverpool up, but Rupp runs the ball out for a goal kick. Norwich are soon coming back at the leaders. A long ball down the middle. Rupp brings it down, and he’s clear of the Liverpool offside trap! He tries to round Alisson on the keeper’s left - or is he trying to pass to Pukki, by his side? Either way, Alisson sticks out an arm and breaks up the move. What a save ... but Rupp will reflect that he should have done better. Norwich should be leading.

(The Guardian) 37 min: That near miss has lit a fire under Liverpool. Robertson, Keita and Salah take turns to drive at the Norwich back line. Salah’s shot, an attempted curler towards the top left, is deflected out for a corner.

(The Guardian) 39 min: Alexander-Arnold prepares to take the corner, but is held up awhile as the referee comes across to check he’s placed the ball in the quadrant. Eventually we’re good to go. The corner is blocked, and ends up back at the feet of Alexander-Arnold, who yanks a wild shot wide left from the edge of the box.

(The Guardian) 41 min: Henderson rolls a pass down the right channel for Firmino, who turns Hanley with ease. Hanley climbs all over his back to stop him bursting into the box, and takes the booking. This is still a free kick in a dangerous position, though, just to the side of the box, 25 yards out.
42 min: Alexander-Arnold tries to find Van Dijk at the far post with a low curler, but Krul reads the free kick well and smothers.

(The Guardian) 44 min: Lewis nearly lets Firmino in with a poor clearing header, but just as it looks like the Brazilian will burst clear into the box, the Norwich sub fights back and clears up his own mess. An entertaining tussle.

(The Guardian) 45 min: Oxlade-Chamberlain and Robertson combine to win a corner on the left. One last chance for Liverpool to take a lead into half-time, perhaps?
45 min +1: The corner should be claimed by Krul at the far post. But the keeper thinks Zimmerman will deal, and vice versa. Eventually Salah nips in, but can’t find anyone in the centre with a weakly hit cross. Norwich get away with one.

...and that's the first half! A cracking 45 minutes that saw both sides take - and waste - opportunities to score; your halftime score from Carrow Road: Norwich City 0, Liverpool 0.

(The Guardian) 47 min: Liverpool are immediately on the front foot. Robertson drives down the left but can’t quite break clear. Then Henderson chips one into the box from the right but Aarons wins an aerial battle with Firmino and clears the danger.

(The Guardian) 48 min: Firmino should make off down the right but McLean sticks to his back and eventually wrestles the ball away from him. The leaders have come out looking a little sharper, Jurgen Klopp presumably having made some trenchant observations during the break.

(The Guardian) 50 min: Norwich haven’t had a sniff since the restart. But Liverpool are yet to parlay their dominance into serious work for Krul.

(The Guardian) 52 min: Henderson’s poor pass in midfield allows Pukki to tear off down the left. The ball’s worked towards the other flank, Cantwell getting past Robertson and lashing a shot into the side netting. Alisson had it covered. Robertson took a wee tug on Cantwell’s shirt there; had the Norwich player decided to go down, the referee would have had a serious decision to make.
