  1. A lazy Lambert Sunday...published at 17:28 British Summer Time 10 May 2015

    Rickie Lambert settles down on the Liverpool bench. It's safe to say he's had busier days. Just 15 touches for the striker.

  2. Eight days a weekpublished at 17:27 British Summer Time 10 May 2015

    John Terry has put the ball in the back of the net (including an own goal) on every day of the week this season in all competitions.

    There's nothing happening in this game but you can't argue with stats like that can you?

  3. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 17:25 British Summer Time 10 May 2015

    Rickie Lambert comes off and on comes a youngster of their own - Jerome Sinclair makes his Premier League debut.

    Willian puts a low cross in and Martin Skrtel batters it into the stands. Roll on pre-season.

    Roy Hodgson will be on the phone. No shots on target in the second half though.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 17:18 British Summer Time 10 May 2015

    Ruben Loftus-Cheek is replaced by Nemanja Matic to a standing ovation. He didn't stand out - but he amazingly leaves the pitch with that 100% pass completion record intact.

  7. YELLOW CARDpublished at 17:17 British Summer Time 10 May 2015

    Jon Mikel Obi goes into the book and then Adam Lallana sees a shot blocked.

    Cesc Fabregas has lost possession 17 times so far. Ruben Loftus-Cheek - None.

    I'm not sure Loftus-Cheek has played a particularly enterprising pass but he's not given it away once.

    "I bet he wishes he hit that first time. Willian's touch gave chance for him to be closed down."

    Willian is dragging Chelsea back into the game. Again he finds room on the right and this time his low shot is deflected into the side netting.

    Steven Gerrard with a peach of a crossfield pass out wide but Glen Johnson's cross is poor. Johnson is then exposed at the other end as Willian twists past him and hammers a shot inches wide of the far corner. Venomous strike.

  12. GET INVOLVEDpublished at 17:11 British Summer Time 10 May 2015

    Simon Worthington: Sterling playing like he has given up on playing for Liverpool, like Torres did when he wanted out.

    Stephen Flanagan: As an Arsenal fan, I'm happy to see Gerrard leave Pool! Yet again their top scoring midfielder which raises a lot of questions!

  13. Captains on the scoresheetpublished at 17:09 British Summer Time 10 May 2015

    Steven Gerrard has eight league goals this season, three more than his opposing captain John Terry.

    Gerrard has completed 72% of his 32 passes today, Terry 96% of his 22.

    All Liverpool since the break. Don't forget that Jose Mourinho has only lost one league game at home in charge of Chelsea.

  15. CLOSE!published at 17:06 British Summer Time 10 May 2015

    Liverpool well on top at the start of the second half and Philippe Coutinho is so close to a second goal, firing into the side-netting after Raheem Sterling had beaten Filipe Luis on the edge of the box. Fine approach play!

    Liverpool put together a neat attack with Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson linking up, but Adam Lallana can only scuff a shot across goal. Promising.

  17. KICK-OFFpublished at 17:02 British Summer Time 10 May 2015

    Here we go then, back under way.

  18. 'How long will this go on?'published at 17:01 British Summer Time 10 May 2015

    Chesterfield player Ian Evatt claims he was attacked on the pitch by supporters following their defeat at Preston North End.

    "It's well reported I'm an ex-Blackpool player," he tells BBC Radio 5 live. "After the final whistle the Preston fans invaded the pitch. I was surrounded by a couple of hundred fans at least, shouting abuse, spitting, I got hit and kicked a couple of times.

    "More than pushing and shoving. I've reported it to the police and Sky Sports have given the police the footage of the two guys who threw the punches.

    "To be honest it's so disappointing. How long will this go on for until there's a real serious incident? It's too easy for fans nowadays to invade football pitches. Something needs to be done about it. The more it goes on the more likely there will be a serious offence and a serious injury to a player."

    Ruben Loftus-Cheek completed every one of his 23 passes in that first half. You can't argue with that!

  20. Postpublished at 16:54 British Summer Time 10 May 2015

    Steven Gerrard's last two Premier League goals have both been headed; only one of his 26 goals immediately before that were scored with his head. A new trick for an old dog. Will he be scoring plenty in the MLS?
