Asked Farke what he would like in January and he said he'd like to discuss it on '10th or 11th' so we'll definitely do that. Pencil it in. Doesn't expect a huge amount of activity, but we know the club are looking to add.

Leeds United had no sooner entered the Anfield dressing room at full-time than they started to talk about Manchester United. Jaka Bijol knows a bit about rivalries and has been educated on this one.

FT Liverpool 0-0 Leeds United
What a point. What a defensive performance. And a clean sheet, at Anfield. Unbeaten in six. Absolutely remarkable.

CHANCE! Okafor in on the left, pulls it back to Stach, first shot blocked, second goes over the bar.
Gruev is struggling a little, think he's got an issue with a quad maybe.
Six minutes added on.

DCL has the ball in the net but the flag goes up. Gudmundsson nicked it, ball was crossed in and Bornauw got there ahead of a defender and DCL was just off as he nipped in to score.
Bornauw down now getting treatment. Has looked leggy for the last several minutes.
