OFF THE POST!

Szoboszlai has a go from 20 yards out but his low, driven effort rattles the woodwork.

That was close!

Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea


Anfield were not happy with that change...

Relieved Isak is back fit, of course. But they were not happy it was Ngumoha who was sacrificed.

Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea


SAVE!

Handball shouts are ignored and Szoboszlai draws a fine stop from Jörgensen. The resulting corner comes to nothing.

Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea


GOAA.. nevermind.

Curtis Jones thinks he's scored for Liverpool but it's immediately ruled out for offside. Still level.

Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea


Premier League confirm offside decision. Was certainly tight!


OFFSIDE!

HUGE let off for Liverpool as it's ruled out for offside for a VAR check. Should be a wake up call for the hosts.

Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea


GOAL! CHELSEA IN FRONT!

Minutes into the second half and the visitors have completed the comeback.

Palmer scores but there is a check for offside...

Liverpool 1-2 Chelsea


KICK OFF!

Second half underway.


HT: Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea


Into added time...

Two extra minutes to be played at the end of the first half.

Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea


CHANCE!

Chelsea are extremely galvanised here and Enzo Fernandez should make it 2-1. Instead, he fires it straight at Mamardashvili.

A let off for Liverpool.

Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea


GOAL! THAT IS WHY!

Chelsea are level. A free-kick in a crossable position but Enzo Fernandez's effort evades everyone and finds the net.

Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea


Anfield getting restless...

Liverpool haven't built on their early goal. Instead, Chelsea are controlling possession and creating openings.

Slow play with a lack of intensity isn't going down well among the crowd.

Liverpool 1-0 Chelsea


ANOTHER SAVE!

Mamardashvili does well to make another stop, this time to deny Cucurella. There was a hint of offside.

Liverpool 1-0 Chelsea


SAVE!

Mac Allister allows Palmer to get past him and the Chelsea attacker picks out Pedro, but Mamardashvili is out quickly to deny him.

Liverpool 1-0 Chelsea


CLOSE!

Liverpool nearly score a second as Van Dijk is left unmarked on a corner. Turns the ball over at the far post. That was a chance!

Liverpool 1-0 Chelsea


A career milestone for Gravenberch!


GOAL! LIVERPOOL LEAD!

Just like that, the hosts are in front. Gravenberch curls an effort from range and it finds the back of the net.

Liverpool 1-0 Chelsea


Slow start...

Weirdly, two throw-ins were taken by Chelsea and one ends with Pedro firing just wide.

At the other end of the pitch, Szoboszlai smashes a free-kick into the wall.

Liverpool 0-0 Chelsea


KICK OFF!

We're underway in Liverpool.
