    Klopp gave Fabinho, Keita and Minamino plenty of time to adapt to their playing style, but Thiago plays straight away and runs the game. What an incredible player.

  4. GREAT SAVE!published at 84 mins

    Chelsea 0-2 Liverpool

    Good break from Chelsea and Timo Werner slips a pass through to Tammy Abraham.

    The Chelsea striker cuts onto his favoured right peg, but his low shot towards the far corner is brilliantly palmed out by Reds goalkeeper Alisson.

    Rory Alexander Peverell: Pulisic, Abraham, Hudson Odoi, Mount, Barkley, Loftus Cheek. Chelsea already had some pretty decent attacking options and spent £200 mill plus without strengthening where they needed to. It’s showing against Liverpool, oh and there goes Allison saving a penalty

    Thiago eyeing a debut goal, but drills a 22 yard shot wide.

    That one isn't troubling Kepa Arrizabalaga.

    The difference between Kepa and Alisson could not be demonstrated more starkly.

    Alisson waited for a very long time before he decided to pick a side. Both heels were on the line. He waited for Jorginho's skip. Very clever goalkeeping and a good save.

    Chelsea needed that but the technique from Jorginho was eventually going to be found out.

    The highest of high-fives from Thiago. Thank you very much keeper, you helped me out there.

    Hop and a skip from Jorginho...

    ...but it is a poor penalty and Alisson dives to his left to keep the effort out.

    Thiago is one second ahead of the rest of the team. Brilliant play maker.

    Abid

    Liverpool could not have picked a better time to play Chelsea. Ziyech, Pulisic and Thiago Silva unavailable, Kepa still in goal before Chelsea sign a new keeper, new players that are still bedding in, and no fans in Stamford Bridge to get the team up for it.
