Here comes the cavalry for Brentford as Michael Kayode, Mamadou Sangare and Callum Wilson make way for Danjo Ouattara, Aaron Hickey and Mathias Jensen.

For Sunderland, Omar Alderete and Tymur Tutierov are replaced by Luke O'Nien and Thomas Meunier as we pass the hour mark.

Brighton think they have taken the lead for the third time in the game but the flag shoots up.

Pascal Gross has the ball in the back of the net but Georginio Rutter was offside in the build up.

Phil Foden is swarmed right on the edge of the area and wins a free-kick in a really dangerous spot.

This is literally right next to the 18-yard line. The wall are practically camped on the six-yard box.

It's certainly not quite clicking for City just yet but they have had chances to draw level again.

Rayan Cherki wriggles free in the box, we know how dangerous he can be in tight areas, and his shot deflects behind for a corner.

It's been a good game of football. I think Liverpool have been the better team, but Chelsea look a threat. In particular with Morgan Rogers causing a lot of problems, but Liverpool look a threat as well.

There were a few times when Gakpo is played in at the end, and he looks a bit hesitant. He's on his heels when he should be on his toes, but like I said it's a really good game. I'm looking forward to the second half.

Joachim Andersen wins the initial header from the free-kick and Calvin Bassey puts Dean Henderson under pressure and does enough to win a corner.

Jefferson Lerma goes into the book for a foul and Fulham have a free-kick in a decent area.

A game that really came to life in the final few minutes of the half. All square at the break.

It's all Brighton right now and Georginio Rutter isn't half proving a handful for Manchester City.

He makes a good run then rounds the keeper before firing into the side netting from a tight angle.

Perhaps he could have cut it back for Pascal Gross instead?

Back under way in the north east.

Sunderland have brought on Chris Rigg for Habib Diarra.

Yeah, Liverpool deserve it to be fair. They have been the better team.

It was a mistake from Fofana. I don't know why his hand is in the air.

What a penalty from Cody Gakpo into the bottom corner, and he's been a good player for Liverpool this season, I think he's playing his best football. I think hes been outstanding.

No changes at the break.

Alvaro Arbeloa said he wants to win this competition. His side have work to do to keep that dream alive.

Another big Brighton chance and this time it forces Geronimo Rulli into a superb fingertip save.

Georginio Rutter curls one towards goal and Rulli tips over the bar.

What a save.

Bournemouth make a couple of changes for the start of the second half as Justin Kluivert and Rayan are on for Marcus Tavernier and Amine Adli. They appear to be pre-planned changes.

We're back under way.

I’ve heard rave reviews about Jocelin, apparently he’s been pulling up trees.

I think we seen it in that first half.

Positive, plenty of energy and he’s been involved in all three goals.

Manchester City have been a bit sloppy so far this half while Brighton look fired up.
