Brave goalkeeping from Mads Hermansen, sprinting off his line and diving to punch the ball away just as Liam Delap was about to shoot following Conor Chaplin's clever lifted ball over the top.

Ben Johnson then has a side-footed effort from 25 yards out which Hermansen leaps up to catch.

Decent spell from Ipswich, but like so many times this season, have been unable to convert that into goals.

Pass it! Dwight McNeil nicks the ball and runs and runs and runs with it until the Southampton defence find a challenge.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin isn't best pleased that the pass didn't arrive.

David Ljunggren: This is the worst I have seen Liverpool play for quite a while.

Erling Haaland is looking a little uncomfortable out there after taking a knock to his foot a few moments ago.

One to keep an eye on.

I'm trying to think of a first half in recent memory where Liverpool got such a going over. Brighton have been excellent.

Oooo Southampton almost open the scoring against Everton but Cameron Archer can't direct his effort on goal. Encouraging signs though.

Inches away!

Danny Welbeck curls the free-kick around the wall but it just doesn't curl enough and the ball hits the side netting.

Almost a moment of magic from Conor Chaplin as he looks for his first ever Premier League goal. The Ipswich man does really well to create the chance and curls left-footed 20 yards out looking for the far corner. Away goalkeeper Mads Hermansen is panicking and then very relieved to see the effort fly just past the post.

Brighton win a free-kick right on the edge of the box.

Pervis Estupinan and Danny Welbeck stand over it.

Edson Alvarez has been shown a yellow card for a cynical pull-pack on Murillo. Both of West Ham's central midfielders are now on bookings.

Matt: Saints are going to limp out of this league with a higher average possession per game than actual goals scored! Sad to say, but that sums up Russball!

A rare chance for Manchester City as Erling Haaland chests the ball down at the far post and drills a low shot just wide.

Sometimes looking at the 'as it stands' table can be a mistake if you end up losing.

But if you're a Brighton fan, it's worth a little look right now. Third and within four points of top spot after 10 games.

Callum Hudson-Odoi chests down the ball in the box and fires a half-volley into the hands of Lukasz Fabianski.

Stoppage in play now as the West Ham physios see to Max Kilman after a clash of heads has left him with a bit of blood flowing.

It is all a little bit slow from Liverpool. Brighton just dropping back but they are very comfortable at this moment in time.

Should be 2-0 to Brighton after another wonderful counter-attack.

Kaoru Mitoma's searching cross finds Ferdi Kadioglu in space at the far post, but volleys well over.

Let off for Liverpool.

A waste for Ipswich as Conor Chaplin drags an effort from 22 yards well wide. It came after fine play in the defensive midfield role from Kalvin Phillips, who did well to stop a Stephy Mavididi counter-attack to start the move.

The fans at the City Ground are loving the effort from their captain Morgan Gibbs-White! He chases every West Ham player close to him and wins a throw-in for his side.

They're moving up to fourth as things stand.
