    Should Genk fail to defeat Liverpool, they will set a record for games played in the European Cup/Champions League without winning – they’ve currently played 14 (W0 D8 L6), level with Floriana FC and Shamrock Rovers.

    Briyan: This Chelsea kit looks absolutely lit. They can't surely lose this.

    Francis Edwards: Hudson-Odoi looks like he has a great turn of pace and is overall pace is Robben-esque. What he needs to do is find some confidence in his shooting - if he can turn his runs into efforts on goal then he will be a superstar.

    Ajax 0-0 Chelsea

    Good half, Ajax could and maybe should be ahead but VAR decided that Quincy Promes was an atom offside.

    What you wanted to know, I assume - Mo Salah starts up front for Liverpool.

    Full team to come.

    Joshua Bolaji: At the end of the day, VAR is a system that provides information to the officials. However, fallible humans still have to interpret this data.

    Wasteful! Mason Mount with a beauty of a pass, found his range there to free Cesar Azpiluceta down the right. The skipper has time, maybe too much time as with two men over to his left he goes for goal and fires wide.

    This half deserves a goal. Mason Mount leads a cavalry charge over halfway but he's crowded out in the end.

    I can understand why Cesar Azpilicueta is punching the air because it's a goal-saving tackle. It was superbly timed.

    Then Hudson-Odoi is getting so much joy coming into this corner of the box, but Willian just got a bit clever for me. I just think, 'have a go with your left foot'.

    Brilliant defending!

    Ajax move the ball sweetly from right to left, Quincy Promes is free and looks sure to score this time but Cesar Azpilicueta flies in to make a perfectly-timed block!

    Chelsea counter, Callum Hudson-Odoi puts it across goal and Willian needlessly dummies it. Shoot man!

    This is the age of VAR. There's no way the human eye can determine that, but his foot is just the other side of Kurt Zouma's.

    Well, that's a stroke of luck for Chelsea. Quincy Promes has been judged to be offside. We are talking microscopic levels of offside...

    I have to say, it does look offside. There was a slight deflection from the cross but Promes does everything right.

    GOAL - Ajax 1-0 Chelseapublished at 35 mins

    Quincy Promes

    The Chelsea kit is a cracker Martyn, but they've lost a life here as Quincy Promes stabs Ajax into the lead!

    Hakim Ziyech has a cross/shot from the right of the area, it deflects across the face of goal and Promes is there to score. It's tight.

    Is that onside?...
