82 mins: Origi wins a corner for Liverpool, who are finally having a better spell. Eight minutes from a win which put them six points behind Chelsea.
85 mins: Mane has been arguably Liverpool's best player and more intricate footwork almost puts him in on goal, but City scramble it clear.
87 mins: Lallana eases Silva off the ball on the edge of the area. City want a free-kick but the referee waves play on. Looked the right decision. Iheanacho is on for Toure for City, while Lucas replaces Mane for the home side.
91 mins: City come forward, they have just less than three minutes to save a point - or suffer a real blow to their title hopes.
93 minutes: Origi steams in on Otamendi in the corner and, to his credit, forces a foul out of the City man. Liverpool, unsurprisingly, take it short as they try to run down the clock.
94 minutes: One last chance for City to come forward - Liverpool crowd demanding the full-time whistle.
FULL-TIME
A big, big win for Liverpool. Wijnaldum's early header did the damage and, in all honesty, Liverpool were rarely troubled. klopp's men move to within six points of leaders Chelsea, while Pep Guardiola's side are now 10 points behind the men from Stamford Bridge.
