Chelsea force the early pace as they win a corner but the Liverpool defence stand solid on this occasion, hacking the ball clear. If in doubt, blast it out.

Branislav Ivanovic then goes in the book for grappling with Raheem Sterling.

Former Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina,, external now at Bayern Munich, on Twitter: "Nice battle between Liverpool's centre-backs and Diego Costa. Good game by Philippe Coutinho and Glen Johnson. Interesting second half. Come on Reds!"

Back under way at Anfield. Seconds out, round two...

The FA Cup
Live on the BBC

We've sadly lost our first FA Cup first round game of the day. Mansfield's home game against Conference South Concord Rangers has been called off because of a waterlogged pitch.

The rain has been tipping it down locally, leaving the pitch unplayable.

Not to worry fans of the 'cupset' because we still have 26 other games on today, and you can follow all the updates, goals and reaction here.

We should have team news from our four 15:00 Premier League games coming up just after 14:00. Any sweeping changes needed? Can Leicester get back on track?

Will Diego Costa and Martin Skrtel survive the second half? You'd have to fancy them to come to blows at least once. Engaging on the eye that one.

Liverpool have been focussing their attacks down the left, with Raheem Sterling and Philippe Coutinho heavily involved. Chelsea, meanwhile, are putting their efforts in trying to find a way through the middle, via lone striker Diego Costa.

Steve McClaren has got his side playing very, very well. Back in the big time soon?

It is more joy from Derby and more misery for Wolverhampton Wanderers. Craig Forsyth's cross from the left hand side drifts in behind the hapless Wolves defence, and Johnny Russell is allowed to meet the ball with an emphatic finish. Cue somersault celebrations. Steve McClaren's side are at the top of their game here and are cruising to the top of the table.

Phil McNulty
BBC Sport chief football writer at Anfield

"Good old-fashioned fare at Anfield. Liverpool started well but Chelsea in control at the end of the half.

"Boxing promoter Frank Warren may be taking more than a passing interest in the continuing scrap between Liverpool's Martin Skrtel and Chelsea striker Diego Costa - would sell plenty of tickets if they took it away from Anfield and made it official. One, or both, will go if it carries on.

"Liverpool are living on their nerves at the back, with Dejan Lovren doing little as yet to justify his inclusion ahead of Kolo Toure."

Former England winger Chris Waddle
BBC Radio 5 live at Anfield

"Liverpool started brightly but Chelsea have been dominant. They really should be winning this game and maybe could have put it to bed.

"Yes you can say that confidence is a real issue, but the big difference between the two sides is that when Chelsea don't have the ball their creative players, like Eden Hazard and Oscar, do a good job for the team defensively. I don't think Liverpool's creative players do the same. And I don't think they are asking enough questions of the Chelsea back four either."

Can Liverpool keep Chelsea at bay in the second half? Or will Chelsea eventually steamroller the hosts.

Derby playing like Real Madrid...

It is a superbly worked goal from Derby County, who are more than demonstrating their worth as Championship table-toppers. Intricate passing in the final third ended with Will Hughes flicking the ball into the path of Jeff Hendrick, who kept his composure and placed his second of the game into the corner. Wolves have a battle on now to prevent the hosts totally running away with this one.

Premier League:, external Here's how the Goal Decision System saw Chelsea's equaliser.

Former England winger Chris Waddle
BBC Radio 5 live at Anfield

"I have to say, it's not Chelsea's good play but Liverpool's terrible play that is leading to chances for the visitors. The Liverpool defence are at sixes and sevens at times. They look so uncomfortable in possession. Eden Hazard has had loads of the ball in the past 5-10 minutes. He's had three shots, two of them were blocked and one was an easy save by Simon Mignolet."

Aashish:, external It's been an energetic game - a contest at least.

Rastamadeus FC:, external If Rodgers would allow Liverpool players to just boot the ball away all the defensive problems would stop. But no, pass pass pass...

Max Welford:, external Maybe Liverpool just mistakenly signed Lovren - they actually wanted Fonte?

Raheem Sterling is the winner of the 'first yellow card' sweepstake. He blocks off Ramires and gets a caution to his name.
