60 mins: GOAL! The deadlock is broken.

Alexander-Arnold picks up the ball on the left and slips it through to Salah, who has overlapped into plenty of space. It’s created a 2-v-1, and all Salah has to do is thread it into the path of Jota, who hits it first time into the top corner.

58 mins: Liverpool are really asserting their authority here, with two long-range shots that were flying goalwards blocked at the last.

Moments later, an inch-perfect cross from Alexander-Arnold is met by the head of Jota from around six yards out, but it flashes wide!

55 mins: The offside is confirmed and Liverpool breathe a sigh of relief.

The Reds go on the attack themselves and they work a brilliant opportunity!

Szoboszlai holds it up in midfield and ships it to the onrushing Trent Alexander-Arnold, who drives towards the box and plays the one-two with Jota. Jota clips it back towards him on the edge of the area and Alexander-Anrold lays it into the path of Luis Diaz, who really should score but instead lifts it over Walton and over the bar!

Burns does come off in the end, and he’s replaced by Johnson.

54 mins: It can’t have been a hamstring injury for Burns, as it looks like he’s going to carry on for now.

Ipswich keep possession and Delap just miscontrols it on the edge of the box.

Ipswich fans think they have a penalty as Delap goes down...but it’s offside!

There’ll be a brief VAR check.

50 mins: This half has been Liverpool’s in the opening exchanges, but Ipswich threaten the counter as van Dijk gets across to beat Burns as the home side countered.

The Ipswich man stays down, and on replay it looks like he’s pulled up...Ben Johnson is warming up.

Looks like Burns’ hamstring had gone potentially.

48 mins :Great feet from Diaz to skip past three challenges, and he’s opened up a gap, but he blasts his effort over.

46 mins: Quansah is sitting on the bench and he does not look happy there. It must be some sort on injury.

Alexander-Arnold swings in a corner that bounces out to Salah – the Egyptian tries to slot a shot through the bodies and it’s sailing into the back of the net, but a blue shirt diverts it away at the last.

46 minutes: Liverpool have made a half time substitution, Konate has come on for Quansah.

Back underway for the second half at Portman Road! Liverpool have brought on Ibrahima Konate for Jarell Quansah.

Ed Sheeran is off! He has a gig in Serbia tonight so could only stay for the first half, he didn’t manage to see a goal but he will likely have been happy with what he did see.
