FT : Sunderland come back from 2-0 down to grab a dramatic draw. Nobody would have seen this coming. Amazing fightback from Sunderland. It finishes at Anfield Liverpool 2 - 2 Sunderland

90' 4 minutes added . Can anyone grab the winner here?

88' GOOOOOAAALLL for Sunderland ! Liverpool have blown it as Defoe scores to level it for Sunderland. Smart finish from Defoe to finish off Kazri's pass. Liverpool 2 - 2 Sunderland

86' Lucas comes on for Henderson as Liverpool look to hang on to their solitary lead

81' GOAAAAAALLLL for Sunderland! Adam Johnson curls a free-kick into the bottom corner. Mignolet gets a hand to it but it creeps in. Mignolet should have definitely done better there. Liverpool 2 - 1 Sunderland

80' The ball breaks for Lallana on the corner of the box and he crashes an effort into the side netting

77' A section of the Liverpool fans are actually walking off like they threatened to in protest of the unusually high ticket prices at Anfield. 77pounds to be exact

75' Can bursts forward on the breakaway for Liverpool but with Ibe in bundles of space down the left, the Germany international undercooks his pass into the Reds winger and that allows Yedlin to get a challenge in.

Billy Jones comes off as Yedlin comes on

7 - Roberto Firmino has been involved in seven goals in his last five Premier League games for @LFC (five goals, two assists). Busy.

59' GOOOAAALLLLLLLLL for Liverpool! It is Firmino who gets the goal. Milner sends in a brilliant cross from the left hand side which Firmino heads into the bottom corner. brilliant play from Liverpool to take the lead

57' Defoe creates space for himself on the edge of Liverpool's box but sends his shot wide

53' Firmino looks sharp today as he unleashes a venomous shot from just outside the box which flies narrowly wide. The Brazilian looks most likely to break the deadlock today

51' Firmino's brilliant pass plays Moreno into space inside the box, but his attempted cut-back evades his teammates

48' Kirchhoff slips a lovely through pass forward towards Khazri who steams into good space down the left flank, before he sends in a cross which gets cleared by Moreno with ease.

46' Second half kicks off. Can Sunderland grab an unlikely win or will Liverpool assert their superiority and grab all 3 points

44' What a chance for Moreno! Lallana sends a wonderful low cross and Moreno who is free in the box loops a dreadful header over the bar

43' CLOSE! Firmino collects the ball outside the box and unleashes a powerful left foot shot which goes narrowly above the cross bar

41' It's much better play from Liverpool as Firmino collects possession on the half turn and feeds a quick pass through towards an onrushing Henderson, but the Brazilian overcooks it slightly as Jones clears for Sunderland.

N'Doye gets the first yellow card of the game for an elbow on Emre Can

37' Liverpool are camped in Sunderland's half now and a deflected cross from Firmino leads to a corner

31' Sunderland's gameplan is working well so far. Half an hour has passed and they are still in the game with options on the bench as time ticks on. They have given possession away cheaply a few times, though, and they need to cut that out as Liverpool look dangerous when they do.

29' Milner breaks into space and tries to cut the ball back for Lallana in the centre, but O'Shea manages to cut it out. Liverpool looking much better now and are now threatening to break open the deadlock

27' In some good news for Liverpool fans, Daniel Sturridge can be seen warming up on the sidelines for Liverpool

We have already had two injury-enforced substitutions in the first half with both Liverpool and Sunderland forced to make a change

24' Whatmore comes off and Dame N'Doye comes on

23' Duncan Whatmore has picked up an ankle injury and looks like he can't go on any more

19' CHANCE! Huge chance for Moreno as Lallana steals the ball from the Sunderland defence and plays in Moreno whose shot is saved brilliantly by Vito Mannone

17' CLOSE! And just like that, Liverpool almost test Mannone as Moreno curls in a lovely cross from the left-hand side towards Lallana, but the former Southampton man fails to get his head on the ball which runs clear from danger.

15' The game is waiting for an incident to spark it into life with nothing of note created by either side

11' Liverpool just can't seem to catch a break in the injuries department as Lovren suffers a hamstring pull. Kolo Toure is his replacement

9' Firmino latches onto possession down the left wing and drives in a low cross towards Can at the near post, but O'Shea reads the danger well and makes an important clearance for Sunderland.

0.63 - Sunderland have the worst points per game average of any current Premier League side in the month of February (0.63). Glum.
