FULL TIME: Liverpool 4-1 Sevilla – Player Ratings

One of the better players for Liverpool was Ryan Gravenberch, who has got 8 out of 10 from us.

Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz was brilliant as well, but we were left disappointed with Dominik Szoboszlai and with another senior Liverpool player. We have them 5 out of 10 each.

FULL TIME: Liverpool 4-1 Sevilla

It’s all over at Anfield. Liverpool have eased past Sevilla 4-1.

Second Half: Liverpool 4-1 Sevilla

Liverpool still have the better of the proceedings against Sevilla.

Watch Nyoni score for Liverpool

I think that this is a brilliant finish.

Second Half: Liverpool 4-1 Sevilla

Just when Sevilla thought that they might have a way in, Liverpool have gone and scored another goal.

I do not think that the Spanish club are going to score again this afternoon.

Goal: Liverpool 4-1 Sevilla

Liverpool have regained their three-goal lead against Sevilla. It is 4-1 to the Reds now.

Nyoni has drilled low into the corner after Sevilla do not clear a cross the way they should have.

Goal: Liverpool 3-1 Sevilla

Sevilla have reduced the deficit now.

Peque Fernandez has found the back of the net with a smart finish off the far post.

Liverpool goalkeeper Jaros could not get near it.

Watch Luis Diaz being clinical

I think this goal is all about Luis Diaz being so sharp in front of goal. Stunning!

Watch Luis Diaz finish off a lovely team move

This is simply superb. Breathtaking.

Second half: Liverpool 3-0 Sevilla

Arne Slot has made changes now. Luis Diaz and Alisson Becker have gone off. Trey Nyoni and Vite Jaros have come on.

Second half: Liverpool 3-0 Sevilla

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson finally has something meaningful to do. Sow had two efforts on goal, but the Brazil international goalkeeper was up to the task of keeping them out.

Second half: Liverpool 3-0 Sevilla

Liverpool have created the first chances of the second half.

First Diaz passed to Salah and over-hit it, and then Gravenberch decided not to shoot from Szoboszlai’s cut-back when he should have gone for gone.

Second half: Liverpool 3-0 Sevilla

The second half has just kicked off at Anfield. Liverpool are 3-0 up against Sevilla.

HALF TIME Liverpool 3-0 Sevilla

Liverpool have been very good in the match so far, with the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota playing a starring role.

Dominik Szoboszlai struggled to make an impact for most of the first half, but the midfielder, who is operating in the number 10 role, did step up his game towards the end.

HALF TIME Liverpool 3-0 Sevilla

It is half time at Anfield now. Liverpool are three goals up against Spanish club Sevilla.

Watch Jota’s goal

Fancy a quick look at Jota’s superb goal? Here you go…

First half: Liverpool 3-0 Sevilla

Liverpool are cruising against Sevilla at Anfield at the moment. They have been a force to be reckoned with in attack, and defensively they have not been asked too much questions.

Goal: Liverpool 3-0 Sevilla

Luis Diaz is the scorer of the Reds’ third goal of the afternoon. He tapped in Szoboszlai’s pass after he ran clear of the Sevilla defence.

Goal: Liverpool 2-0 Sevilla

Liverpool have now made it 2-0. Diogo Jota is involved in the second goal.

Jota won a high ball from Alisson and played it for Diaz. The winger cut inside and smashed it into the roof of the net

First half: Liverpool 1-0 Sevilla

Liverpool almost double their lead, and once again Alexander-Arnold is involved.

The England international right-back found Luis Diaz, who laid the ball to Mohamed Salah.

The Egyptian forward should have fed Jota, but he went for goal himself with a dinking effort. It was cleared by Nianzou.

Goal: Liverpool 1-0 Sevilla

Liverpool have broken the deadlock at Anfield! Diogo Jota has found the back of the net.

Trent Alexander-Arnold put a cross to the back post, and Jota took it first time with a brilliant left-footed volley.

First half: Liverpool 0-0 Sevilla

Slot is playing a 4-2-3-1 formation at the moment. I think that the Liverpool manager will not stick to one system this season. He will tweak his formations depending on the opposition and the in-play situation.

First half: Liverpool 0-0 Sevilla

Liverpool have been the better team and look pretty solid at the moment. I have to say that the Reds have not been exactly exhilarating and scintillating, but Sevilla have been clearly the inferior side.

First half: Liverpool 0-0 Sevilla

Ryan Gravenberch did not have the best of times for Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp last season, but it seems that Arne Slot likes him.

The 22-year-old Netherlands international midfielder is the deepest of the three midfielders for the Reds at the moment. He is doing pretty well, I have to say.

First half: Liverpool 0-0 Sevilla

Liverpool have had the better of the early proceedings at Anfield so far. Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz are looking very sharp at the moment.

First half: Liverpool 0-0 Sevilla

The match at Anfield has just kicked off. I am predicting a 3-1 win for Liverpool.

Build-Up: Liverpool vs Sevilla

The game between Liverpool and Sevilla is around 10 minutes away from kick off.

The Liverpool fans have settled in nicely at Anfield. It should be a good game of football.

Neil Mellor excited to watch Trent Alexander-Arnold

Slot has included Trent Alexander-Arnold in his starting lineup today, and Neil Mellor is looking forward to watching the England international right-back in action today.

Mellor said on Liverpool’s YouTube channel: “I think that will suit Trent because he is a player who likes to get into areas to make things happen, but he will have the added security of two defensive midfield players. I can’t wait to watch Trent Alexander-Arnold today.”

Arne Slot at Anfield

Liverpool manager Arne Slot is at Anfield now and is busy interacting with the fans.

How to watch Liverpool vs Sevilla

he match between Liverpool and Sevilla will kick off at 12:30pm today. It will not be shown live on TV.

However, Liverpool fans will still be able to watch it. For supporters in the UK, the Merseyside club’s supporters will have to tune in to LFCTV and have to pay a subscription fee.

Notable names out of the Liverpool squad

Among the players who are not in the Liverpool squad for the match against Sevilla are Caoimhin Kelleher, Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott, Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez.

I think that they will be involved in the game against Las Palmas. That particularly friendly match will kick off at 5pm today and will be played behind closed doors.

Analysing Liverpool XI vs Sevilla

Just as expected, Slot has gone with a very strong team against Sevilla.

Alisson is in goal for Liverpool, while Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Luis Diaz are also in the starting lineup.

CONFIRMED Sevilla XI vs Liverpool

Spanish club Sevilla have named their starting line-up as well.

Predicted Liverpool XI vs Sevilla

I am expecting Liverpool manager Arne Slot to field a strong team against Sevilla.

After all, the new Premier League season is almost upon us, and Liverpool have to hit the ground running if they are to beat Arsenal and Manchester City to the title.

I think that Slot will go with a 4-3-3 formation.

Predicted Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Jones, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch; Salah, Jota, Nunez
