Chelsea stopped a run of six consecutive defeats with a 1-1 draw against the Reds at Anfield, as Enzo Fernandez cancelled out Ryan Gravenberch’s opener.

The point does little to help Chelsea’s chances of European football, and the Blues remain ninth in the table with just two games remaining.

Levi Colwill could start FA Cup final

Colwill had been sidelined with an ACL injury, and he made his first appearance of the season as a half time substitute in Monday’s 3-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest.

McFarlane then handed Colwill his first start of the season at Anfield, and the England international put in an impressive performance.

It was no surprise that Chelsea looked more assured at the back, and the Blues also looked a lot better in their build-up play.

Speaking after the game McFarlane praised Colwill’s performance, and said he’s in contention to start at Wembley.

“I thought he was exceptional today,” he told his post match press conference.

“I thought there was a lot of good performances. I’m really pleased for Levi. He’s been injured for a long time. The first 90 minutes, Anfield away, when the team aren’t particularly in their best form, to go and put that level of performance in, it doesn’t only show his level of talent and quality, it shows his mentality.

“So, I’m really pleased for Levi, as I am for the whole group and the team. I thought it was a really good performance.

When asked if he has a chance of starting at Wembley he said: “Definitely, yeah.”
