Liverpool have gone in with a 1-0 lead against Hull City at half time at Anfield.
Daniel Agger's header on 36 minutes has given the Reds the advantage in a match that they have largely dominated.
Luis Suarez had a goal chalked off for offside after he headed home from Philippe Coutinho's delivery on 19 minutes.
Coutinho wasted another good chance to deliver minutes later when he fired tamely at Allan McGregor in the Hull goal from around 30 yards out.
The Brazilian once more flashed a shot over the bar after the ball broke to him on the edge of box after Alex Bruce's firm challenge on Suarez.
Raheem Sterling should have scored after he raced away inside the area, but his shot was directly at McGregor on 25 minutes.
Agger rose highest from Lucas Leiva's corner to power a header home nine minutes before the break before Jordan Henderson side-footed wide towards the end of the half.
Suarez spent much of the half fending off tough tackles from the Tigers, and the Uruguayan eventually went into the book for his complaints on 38 minutes.
