Goodnight from Anfield...

That wasn't a bad day's work, was it?

The thoughts of the boss...

We've just published Jürgen Klopp's post-match press conference on the site. He's full of praise for the performances of Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi and Alberto Moreno to name but three of his players.

Next up...

Borussia Dortmund made eight changes to their line-up as they played out a 2-2 draw with local rivals Schalke at the Veltins Arena today ahead of Thursday's Europa League clash at Anfield.

Two minutes of stoppage-time to be played.

Adam Lallana is afforded space in a central area and the Kop urges him to shoot, and he does - but the blast takes a deflection and loops away.

The Kop is singing his name again... Divock Origi makes up for that earlier miss by gliding inside from the left touchline and curling an unexpected finish through a pack of bodies and into the far bottom corner.

Divock Origi should really have a second. Sublime footwork by Daniel Sturridge tees up Alberto Moreno to whip yet another cross into the middle, but the in-form Belgian diverts wide to the right.

Now Roberto Firmino forces Jakob Haugaard into a reaction stop at his near post, having skipped around his marker and let fly from a narrowing angle. Unlucky.

Stoke remain a threat and an inventive set-piece routine gives Geoff Cameron a chance to flick a reverse header on target, but Simon Mignolet is equal to it with an impressive save.

Almost a freak fourth goal for Liverpool after Roberto Firmino charged down Erik Pieters and sent his attempted clearance towards the net - but just over.

That didn't take long! Divock Origi scores for the second time in three days, taking advantage of James Milner's delivery into the six-yard box to firmly head home and spark a tribute from the Kop. 3-1.

The action resumes at Anfield, with the hosts kicking off the second half.

Here are the stats of the game so far...

One minute added on at the end of this first half.

Stoke trouble the Reds with another free-kick whipped in from the left touchline but this time Ryan Shawcross is inches wide with the header.

Now Daniel Sturridge has his goal, with a straightforward header from yards out after Sheyi Ojo had brilliantly dribbled into space along the left and crossed into the box. Lovely stuff.

The Reds move up to the other end and work room for Daniel Sturridge to strike goalwards and he's close with a rifled effort from 20 yards that is just wide.

Reminder that you can use our Opta chalkboard to take a closer look at how the match is unfolding...

An ideal start for the Reds as Alberto Moreno controls a short free-kick from the left flank, looks up and picks the far corner from the edge of the box with a fierce, dipping shot. Get in!

First shot of the encounter comes from Bojan, who lines up an ambitious one from 25 yards that swerves off target to the right.

Sheyi Ojo has started the game to the right of the attack, with Roberto Firmino left of centre behind Daniel Sturridge.

The two teams are emerging from the tunnel and we're just minutes away from kick-off at Anfield. It's a perfect afternoon for football too, with just a touch of wind.

Behind closed dooors...

Here's a quick glimpse inside the LFC dressing room this afternoon.

The Reds are here...

Congratulations, Sheyi!

It's a debut start for 18-year-old Sheyi Ojo, who has previously made four appearances from the bench this season.

James Milner captains the Reds in the absence of the injured Jordan Henderson.

Team news: Starts for Ojo and Stewart

The manager has made seven changes to his line-up this afternoon. Confirmed 18 below…

Mignolet, Clyne, Toure, Skrtel, Moreno, Stewart, Allen, Milner, Ojo, Firmino, Sturridge.

Substitutes: Ward, Lovren, Smith, Lucas, Lallana, Coutinho, Origi.

No excuses...

Jürgen Klopp writing in his programme notes today: “Stoke play exciting, attacking football now, but also have a mentality of battling for every minute and not allowing the opponent any freedom. In many ways this is one of the toughest games we could have had so soon after the Thursday evening in Germany. But it is absolutely not allowed to have any excuses today.”

The sun is shining...

Here's the current scene inside Anfield. Looking good.

'We need each voice at Anfield'

The boss was keen to stress the important role the fans can play today...

"It will be a big fight, for sure. For this fight, we need each voice at Anfield. Hopefully we can create a big atmosphere because it will be really, really necessary."

Happy birthday, Cally

Liverpool's all-time record appearance holder, Ian Callaghan, celebrates his 74th birthday today. Here's hoping the Reds can give the man who played 857 games for the club the gift of three points.

Speaking of that previous league meeting - a 1-0 victory at the Britannia Stadium for the Reds on the opening weekend of the season - take a look at the stats from the game now...

Exclusive chat with Coutinho

The little magician was a goalscorer in the last league meeting between the sides and as they prepare for a fourth clash in all competitions this season, the No.10 explains why there's plenty for the Reds still to play for in our interview here.

Team news

The manager has a decision to make in midfield this afternoon, given the injury to Jordan Henderson and two-game league suspension being served by Emre Can.
