61 mins: Pressure from City now and Liverpool are stretched. De Bryune tries to clip a cross to the back post but it's cleared by Klaven.
66 mins: Crowd favourite Divock Origi has come on for Jordan Henderson who has picked up an injury. Not entirely sure what's up with the Liverpool captain - suggestions he might just be feeling unwell. Origi has five goals in his last seven games...
68 mins: Just over 20 minutes to go at Anfield. Liverpool, it must be said, have been disjointed in the last 15 minutes or so. City seeing much more of the ball and doing more with it - but can they find an equaliser?
70 mins: Origi wins a corner for Liverpool at the Kop end. Liverpool clear.
72 mins: City back on the front foot, as they have been for much of the second half. Sterling lofts the ball forward for Aguero to chase but again Liverpool's defence stands firm.
73 mins: And now Liverpool come forward. Milner thinks he's won a corner kick off Toure but the referee disagrees and it's a goal-kick.
75 mins: Can is booked for a foul on Sterling just inside the Liverpool half. The last five minutes have been scrappy with both sides mis-placing passes.
76 mins: Sterling's cross is cleared but Can concedes another corner. Constant City pressure now. Liverpool clear the corner but the away side have it again.
78 mins: City have had 74 per cent possession in the last 10 minutes. And Anfield is nervous.
