    This looking like a great result for City.

  3. Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool

    Mateo Kovacic's cross is blocked by Jordan Henderson. Callum Hudson-Odoi goes for the byline but Trent Alexander-Arnold follows.

    From the corner, Antonio Rudigers glances it wide.

  4. Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool

    Naby Keita gets back to make a tackle in the Liverpool box but Mason Mount robs it again.

    Chelsea have all the ball with minutes to go now.

  5. Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool

    Marcos Alonso has a go this time but it's curled straight into Caoimhin Kelleher's hands.

    He's not put a foot wrong, the Liverpool keeper.

  6. YELLOW CARD

    Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool

    Sadio Mane is given one to chase. Edouard Mendy reads it well and comes out of his area to stop it.

    Chelsea break and Ibrahima Konate nudges Callum Hudson-Odoi. He goes down and the Liverpool centre-back is in the book.

  7. CLOSE!

    Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool

    Into the wall. Rebound... Mason Mount catches it well but the Liverpool keeper is equal to it.

  8. Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool

    Mateo Kovacic goes weaving in and out of a few challenges then goes down under slight contact from Naby Keita. Hmm.

    This is a very teasing position for Chelsea. Mason Mount wants it.

  9. 'Draw favours neither team'

    Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool

    Karen Carney
    Former Arsenal midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Someone has to step up and get three points here. This result does not favour either team. It's going to be a moment of magic and brilliance from someone, it's difficult to say which team at the moment.

  10. Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool

    Christian Pulisic checks inside and Fabinho's trailing leg brings him down. Free-kick in the middle.

  11. SUBSTITUTION

    Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool

    Callum Hudson-Odoi is on up front for Chelsea. Kai Havertz is off.

  12. Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool

    Around 15 minutes to go. Both teams need a win in this game. A draw will suit Manchester City.

    Unsurprisingly, the tiredness is starting to kick in. It's been relentless from both.

  13. Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool

    Ibrahima Konate wins the initial header over Kai Havertz and Fabinho keeps it in play near the touchline.

    Konate goes down afterwards but he'll be fine.

    The way this game has gone, I wonder if Jorginho has been introduced partly as Designated Penalty Taker?

  15. Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool

    Chelsea are winning everything in the middle. Fabinho is caught again. He's not been at it at all.

  16. Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool

    Kostas Tsimikas' cross comes all the way through to Trent Alexander-Arnold on the far side.

    Liverpool are enjoying a nice spell of possession as they switch it around patiently.

  17. Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool

    Christian Pulisic's cross hits the face of Kostas Tsimikas. He tries again before curling it wide.

  18. Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool

    Christian Pulisic drops to right wing-back. Cesar Azpilicueta has moved more centrally in a back three/back five.

    Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will go up front for Liverpool too.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONS

    Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool

    James Milner and Diogo Jota are off. On comes Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita.

    Chelsea make a change too. Trevoh Chalobah is replaced by Jorginho.

    This game is making an absolute fool of those managers complaining about there being too many games over the Christmas break. The pace of the game has not dropped from the first whistle.
