74' This game might just get a little bit more nervy as we edge into the dying embers, with Rodgers in particular under pressure to start the season well. A cross is curled in towards the back post by Muniesa, but Mignolet is light on his feet to come out and claim the ball in plenty of traffic.
73' Yellow Card - Charlie Adam

72' Liverpool manage to win possession back in midfield, before a long ball is clipped up towards Benteke. Substitute Wollscheid uses all of his height to beat the Belgian in the air, before play is stopped due to Ibe taking a blow to the face. Adam picks up a yellow card for his troubles.

70' Only 20 minutes are left at the Britannia, with no sign of the seven goals that were mustered up the last time this fixture took place. Both teams are starting to throw more men forward and put the result on the line, now. Liverpool play some great football, with Henderson released down the right by Milner! The Englishman lifts a cross towards the back post, but Benteke isn't there to nod home!

68' Great save from Butland! The resulting corner is headed goalwards by Skrtel, but the English goalkeeper gets across well to his right-hand side to make a clean save. With otehr players lurking, the former Birmingham shot-stopper does brilliantly to not spill or parry the effort.

67' Coutinho manages to dance around a couple of challenges, before seeing a shot blocked inside the penalty area! The loose ball falls to Benteke, who jinks onto his stronger right foot, but the Belgian's eventual effort is charged down and then hacked away! There's been a real ebb and flow to this second half. Moments later, Coutinho is involved again after good work down the right from Milner, but Liverpool can only win a corner.

Odemwingie on for Stoke City.

Substitution - Charlie Adam Steve Sidwell
78' Substitution - Ibrahim Afellay Peter Odemwingie
78' Substitution - Jordon Ibe Roberto Firmino

78' Milner lifts a long ball up towards Benteke, but Cameron does well to beat the Liverpool striker in the air. Rodgers opts to make a change, with summer signing Roberto Firmino coming into the action in place of Ibe. The young Englishman really hasn't managed to make a big impact this afternoon. Pieters and then Muniesa have both done well thus far. Afellay is replaced by Odemwingie and Sidwell comes in for Adam.

Liverpool to edge it. C'mon,you Reds!

And Coutinho scores

Goalllllllĺllllllllllllllll

Sekem!

YNWA!

Sekem sekem
Were are arsenal fans now ehhh

yesssssssssssss

Countinho ma man.. Who will update scores.. ..

88' Well, this game needed something out of nothing to get it started - and that was certainly something. The away fans are now making plenty of noise, with Stoke only having a few minutes left to try and claw back a point.
86' Assist - Joe Gomez
86' Goal - Coutinho
GOOOOOOOOAL! COUTINHO FIRES HOME A SCREAMER! The Brazil international takes aim from range and clatters a long-range thunderbolt into the back of Butland's net! After some neat play from the away side, he bends a dipping and swerving effort just above the glove of the goalkeeper!

Can someone change the scoreline after 5 minutes due?

90' A curling free-kick delivery from Odemwingie curls behind for a goal kick once again, after evading everyone who tried to attack it. Stoke are running out of time to make a comeback. There are three minutes of stoppage time.




mod where are thou

Coutinho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And it's a wrap

Stoke City 0-1 Liverpool

YNWA!

90' + 2'Mignolet is very quick off his line to rush out and deny Diouf and Walters the chance to bustle into the penalty area and poke home a well-weighted ball into the box! The Belgian pushes the ball to safety with his hands.

FULL TIME! Liverpool edge their way to a 1-0 win at the Britannia against Stoke, courtesy of a 86th-minute screamer from Coutinho. It was a hard-fought game with plenty of half chances, but a bit of magic from an individual settles it. Plenty of positives for Hughes' men, with the Reds very fortunate to come away with three points. That's all that we have time for, I've been Simon Harrison and I hope to see you again next time
