Can Liverpool find that equaliser before the break?

Woodrow collides with Quansah as they battle for the ball.
Although, the Luton striker does so a little too aggressively for the liking of the referee, who books him.

Liverpool counter as they continue to search for the equaliser.
Gakpo feeds Diaz, but Mengi tracks him brilliantly before making a well-timed sliding intervention to deny him a shot from a tight angle.
Ogbene is caught in possession and the ball breaks kindly for Diaz to charge towards the penalty area.
He lets fly from 25 yards, but his effort is always rising.
Following neat build-up play, Endo finds Diaz's run with a wonderful lofted ball into the area.
The Colombian connects but cannot steer the ball inside the post, and punches the turf in frustration.
Diaz will hope so as he looks to find the net at Anfield for the third Premier League games in succession.
The Colombian gets a shot away from a tight angle, but it is straight at Kaminski.
Gomez is still seeking his first professional goal and finds himself in an advanced position for Liverpool.
The left-back tries his luck from 25 yards and his speculative attempt is not too far over in all fairness.
A loose ball from Lokonga invites pressure on Luton and Gravenberch takes aim from outside the box.
Although, Osho is well-placed to stop the effort from troubling Kaminski.
Luton have now found the net in 13 successive Premier League matches.
With 37, Tottenham are the only current top-flight club to boast a longer streak.
18'
Doughty is the first player to have his name taken this evening.
The Luton wing-back can have few complaints either after dragging back Gravenberch.
Yellow card
A. Doughty
Luton Town
The Reds look to hit back immediately and Gakpo leads the charge with a strong run.
He eventually lets fly from just outside the area, and his effort deflects behind for a corner.

GOAL!!! LIVERPOOL 0-1 LUTON TOWN (OGBENE)
The visitors hit the front and stun Anfield!
Neat link-up play from a throw on the left flank sees Woodrow feed Chong, whose low drive ricochets off Kelleher towards the far post.
There, Ogbene reacts the quickest to nod into the empty net.

Liverpool go back on the attack with a series of set-pieces.
One of them culminates in Diaz crosses towards Gakpo, whose audacious acrobatic attempt is straight at Kaminski.
After weathering the early storm, the visitors look to lauch a response of their own.
Morris seeks out Woodrow at the far post, but Liverpool manage to clear their lines.
A long ball forward breaks kindly for Elliott, who quickly looks to set Diaz on his way.
The latter cuts inside Osho to make space for a shot, but can only fire a left-footed effort wide of the target.
The hosts quickly settle into their rhythm and threaten the Luton defence.
A long ball from Kelleher releases Diaz, but he cannot sort his feet out quickly enough and the visitors manage to crowd him out.
