Liverpool in complete control as they go into the break three goals to the good.

Arne Slot will be very happy with his side’s performance so far.

45+7 mins: CLOSE! Another late chance for Liverpool as Szoboszlai bends one towards the far corner, just wide of the post.

That should do it for the first half.

45+5 mins: CLOSE! Sublime cross by Trent Alexander-Arnold who cuts across it on a half-volley, aiming for Luis Diaz at the back-post.

If Diaz connects there, it’s a simple header, but the delivery has half a yard too much on it.

45+1 mins: Seven minutes added on, the bulk of which comes as a result of the serious injury suffered by Wes Burns earlier in the half.

44 mins: GOAL! Liverpool are running away with this!

Gravenberch bends one in towards Szoboszlai whose close-range effort is saved, but Cody Gakpo is there to tuck home the rebound.

A fifth goal in five home league games for the Dutchman. That should be job done.

40 mins: Philogene has a first opportunity of the game to attack and tries to slip through Delap, who goes down in the box after Konate comes across.

Appeals for an Ipswich penalty mainly come from the away end, with Delap himself hardly looking convinced. The referee waves play on.

35 mins: GOAL! Just like that, Liverpool double their lead!

Lovely delivery from Gakpo to find an unmarked Salah in space, who brings it down and fires into the roof of the net from a tight angle.

That’s the goal that the Anfield faithful would’ve been craving. Liverpool have breathing space.

33 mins: Van Dijk tries switching the play but his lofted pass asks too much of Gakpo.

The delay brought by Burns’ injury has slightly taken the sting out of this game.

29 mins: Ipswich will be fearing the worst there as Burns is stretchered off with what looks like a serious knee injury.

Ben Johnson comes on in his place.

24 mins: Concern for Ipswich as Wes Burns lies on the deck, looking in a lot of discomfort.

His knee looked to buckle under him as he planted his foot trying to tackle Gakpo.
