Luis Diaz returned to the Liverpool squad and scored off the bench to secure a 1-1 draw at Luton Town on Sunday.

The Colombian had missed the past few matches after the shocking kidnapping of his parents, but opted to make his comeback - and duly netted deep into stoppage time to seal a point, after Tahith Chong’s late goal looked to have claimed a famous win for the Hatters.

A point apiece keeps Luton in the bottom three and lifts Liverpool to third, ahead of Arsenal.

During the match one fan was removed from the pitch for running on waving a Palestine flag, shortly after Luton had scored their opener.

Luton Town vs Liverpool

Nunez continues to be heavily involved as he again cuts in and fires, though Kaminski is equal to the task as he beats away from danger. That is already Nunez's fourth shot of the game.

Ogbene shows a great burst of pace to get down the left and float a cross over, and Konate can only nod the ball on to Kabore at the back post. The wing-back lets fly, but his effort is poor and soars high into the stands.

OFF THE BAR! Alexander-Arnold picks up the ball out wide and spots Nunez, who has made a superb run in behind the Luton defence. The right-back arrows a delightful pass into the path of the Uruguay international, who brings it down before firing goalwards. However, much to Luton's relief, the ball comes off the top of the woodwork and flies over.

Luton Town vs Liverpool

This is the first meeting between Luton and Liverpool in any competition since January 2008, with the Reds winning an FA Cup third-round replay 5-0 at Anfield. Steven Gerrard scored a hat-trick in that game.

It has been a very lively opening at Kenilworth Road with both teams looking to get on the front foot. Will Liverpool's superior quality tell?

Van Dijk comes into this match with 49 away wins and could become just the 16th player to reach 50 Premier League victories on the road with Liverpool.

Much like his goal against Bournemouth in the EFL Cup in midweek, Nunez cuts onto his right foot and tries to curl home from distance, though Kaminski is able to tip wide.

The first attempt of the contest goes to Luton as Barkley fires goalwards from outside of the box, though Alisson gets down well to make a comfortable save.

Luton Town vs Liverpool

Perhaps to be expected with the teams' respective positions in the Premier League table, Liverpool have looked the more confident side in these opening exchanges, dominating possession and prying for an opening.

The visitors kick us off and we are underway at a drizzly Kenilworth Road!
