Harvey Elliott trots on
90+1' Liverpool 2-0 Manchester City
Into the first of four minutes added on and Harvey Elliott is on after an injury to make only his second Premier League appearance this season.
He replaces Luis Diaz.
More ignominy for Manchester City

87' Liverpool 2-0 Manchester City
As if it wasn't bad enough losing 2-0 in the home of your greatest recent rivals, continuing their winless run to seven, Pep Guardiola now has the embarrassment of hearing 'Sacked in the morning, you're getting sacked in the morning' chants from the home fans.
The Spaniard smiles wryly in recognition.
Then, after a moment's thought, he turns slightly to the crowd and holds up six fingers to represent how many titles he's won at Manchester City.
Liverpool have won one in that time. The chants stop quite quickly after that...
Mo Salah given a rest

86' Liverpool 2-0 Manchester City
Mo Salah, the Egyptian King, royalty at Anfield, gets a standing ovation as he is taken off by Arne Slot to give him a few minutes' rest.
Curtis Jones on in his place.
Best player on the park.
He could have had another goal, too!
Kelleher saves after terrible Van Dijk mistake!
84' Liverpool 2-0 Manchester City
Just as I was praising Virgil van Dijk!
The Dutchman is far too casual on the ball at left centre-back, overconfident and complacent.
Kevin De Bruyne closes him down, Van Dijk sort of pokes it in a panic but the Belgian controls it and races in on goal, one-on-one, on the angle...
Caoimhin Kelleher saves with his legs and dives on the loose ball. The Irishman has saved Van Dijk some serious embarrassment there, and his team a really nervy 10 minutes.
De Bruyne should do better...
Diaz enjoying himself
83' Liverpool 2-0 Manchester City
I just love watching Luis Diaz.
The Colombian, nicknamed Lucho, protects the ball cleverly and plays it backwards with an entirely needless (but therefore very fun) no-look pass.
Cheeky.
Anfield is bouncing!

Relief as much as joy engulfs Anfield. Finally, Liverpool have doubled their lead.
All stemmed from Nunez's pressing, they won the ball back high and Ortega sent Diaz flying in the box.
Salah missed from the spot in midweek but he made no mistake this time - drilling low into the bottom corner.
This place is bouncing. Liverpool are going nine points clear at the top.
Swings of emotion for Mo Salah
81' Liverpool 2-0 Manchester City
Salah had a beaming smile on his face after finally scoring, and exchanged words with Erling Haaland in the centre circle before kick-off after his goal.
But then, he's angrily jabbing a finger towards Bernardo Silva, who left one on him, really.
An ugly swipe brings the foul and a little kick out on Salah's hand after. No yellow, which I think is just about fair enough.
Though you can see why Salah is annoyed. The Egyptian is dragged away.
Another pair of subs from Pep Guardiola

Pep Guardiola responds to the goal by belatedly bringing on Jack Grealish and Kevin De Bruyne for Rico Lewis and Phil Foden.
Bit too late for them to affect the match now.
