48 Another chance for Leeds as Crowe plays the ball into Beckford but Liverpool clear. Great link-up play by the Whites

but can't quite find a way through on this occasion
47 Riera tries a shot on goal for Liverpool but Kisnorbo blocks
46 Babel and Riera have switched flanks at the start of this second half. No Gerrard or Torres yet - will they make an appearance this evening? Time will tell!
46 The second half is underway at Elland Road and the crowd are as loud as ever! Hopefully we'll see some goals in this 45-minute spell after a gripping first-half
45 HALF TIME!! Leeds will feel hard done by having a goal disallowed early on. They'll no doubt be back out all guns blazing in what is hopefully as entertaining a second half!

24 Liverpool are controlling the ball much better but still not creating much in the way of attack. Babel on the right tries to thread the ball through to Mascherano but Kisnorbo clears

Degen. The Liverpool midfielder looks ok after the tumble and rises back to his feet
20 Rafa Benitez is on his feet - he's not happy with what he's seen so far
18 The Whites force a corner taken by Snodgrass - better defending by Liverpool and the ball is cleared
16 Leeds continue to press, Liverpool are struggling to keep possession at the moment
14 The Whites, then, have enjoyed the better of the opening quarter and have the crowd behind them now. Liverpool really need to tighten up at the back
12 Leeds would argue that Beckford and Becchio were level when the header came in but as it stands the scoreline remains goalless
11 Leeds on the attack again and controversially have a goal disallowed. The flag is up for offside as Beckford scrambles the ball over the line off a Michalik header but the linesman's flag is up.

9 Chance for Leeds as Snodgrass breaks on the right to thread a decent ball through to Doyle but he heads it wide

6 The corner is taken quickly resulting in open play
5 Babel tries a run down the right hand side but Hughes is there to force a corner. Promising signs for Liverpool
3 Liverpool look a little nervous with the ball, these young players need to settle - only two first-team regulars named in the Reds squad but look at the names on the bench!
2 It's a sell out at Elland Road and the fans are really making their presence known. Beckford heads for goal straight away and looks to be pulled down by Caragher when attempting to channel through the Liverpool defender but the referee waves play on
1 We're underway in the Carling Cup. Can Leeds make it 16 home wins in a row or will Liverpool's second string bring that run to a holt? We'll soon find out!
