4 min: Possession is pinging back and forth between the two sides as they struggle to get a hold of the game. A relatively quiet and uneventful start so far.

6 min: West Brom hand-ball on the half-way line. Liverpool free-kick.

[16 April 2017 13:38 · Samuel Lovett]

8 min: Can pumps forward a long, searching cross-field ball to the right flank as Clyne gives chase. He gets a touch to the pass but struggles to bring it under control and the ball eventually rolls out for a West Brom goal-kick.

11 min: This has got Tony Pulis written all over it. Liverpool are largely dictating the game but West Brom are proving too structured and coherent to break down. They might not play the best football but the Baggies can be one of the league's most resilient sides on their day.

[16 April 2017 13:45 · Samuel Lovett]

15 min: Chance for Liverpool! Coutinho snatches hold of possession on the half-way line, drives forward with menace and plays a neat reverse pass into the West Brom to Firmino up for a shot on goal. He lets loose, firing the ball low and hard across the deck, but it's not to be and fizzes past the right-hand side post.

18 min: Liverpool corner. It's whipped in from the right but West Brom deal with it comfortably and the danger is nodded clear.

[16 April 2017 13:52 · Samuel Lovett]

21 min: Liverpool have got the bit between their teeth now. They're looking far more energetic around the West Brom box as Can floats one in. It sails across the penalty towards the far right post but Forster is on hand and claims the ball with two firm hands.

[16 April 2017 13:55 · Samuel Lovett]

24 min: Another chance for Liverpool! Milner picks out Coutinho on the edge of the West Brom box who meets the delivery with a low fizzing volley. It looked as if he was playing the ball back across the penalty area in search of his team-mates but there was no-one in sight. West Brom goal-kick.

[16 April 2017 13:57 · Samuel Lovett]

26 min: West Brom corner. It's a dangerous in-swinger that's curled towards the very centre of the Liverpool penalty area but Mignolet muscles his way past the box full of bodies to punch the danger clear.

[16 April 2017 14:01 · Samuel Lovett]

30 min: Phillips bursts down the right with menace but Can charges in to stop the West Brom attack and muscles the player off the ball. Excellent bit of recovery play from the Liverpool man.
