Chelsea are controlling things. They switch it over from left to right, and back again.
Liverpool are chasing a bit. They have dropped into a compact shape.

Former Arsenal midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveLiverpool need some energy and legs in that midfield now. Chelsea are dominating it and Liverpool are losing their foothold in the game.

This is why the Premier League should have five substitutions like other countries in Europe. It's the most intense league, no winter break and that's without even mentioning covid. The Premier League need to act.
Mr Hartley, Leeds.

The corner is aimed towards Virgil van Dijk but there's a crucial touch to take it away from him.
It comes to Kostas Tsimikas but his first-time strike is dragged wide of the right post.

Jordan Henderson flicks it on to Mohamed Salah. He turns it around the edge for Sadio Mane but Trevoh Chalobah does exceptionally well to get just enough on it for a corner.

Adam: This game has all the hallmarks of those classic Champions League ties between these two teams between 2005 and 2009, that 4-4 draw being the best of them. This could easily go the same way.

Interesting.

Oh my days.
It's curled in from the left and Christian Pulisic gets a clean half-volley in the six-yard area.
He's a few yards out but Caoimhin Kelleher reacts remarkably to keep it out. What a save!! Alisson, watch out...

Former Arsenal midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveI think that's the first time I've seen Mane and Salah combine like that. When they do that you can't stop them.

James Milner deals with Mason Mount but Kostas Tsimikas then gives it away.
Chelsea are looking dangerous.

Phil McNulty
BBC Sport chief football writer at Stamford BridgeWhat a game this is. You can't take your eyes off it. Both teams really fancy their chances and it is wide open.
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is cheerleading to get the crowd involved but they are involved. It's sensational stuff.

Ooh, this is a great move by Liverpool down the left. Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah play a few one-twos.
Mane is away in the box but he hits it straight at Edouard Mendy.

Karen Carney
Former Arsenal midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveThat is a world-class save, absolutely world-class.
Salah takes it early, 30 yards out. Mendy's having to really, really stretch and he gets a good two hands to it. It was an audacious attempt from Salah.

Zahi: It’s not fair that Chelsea have 13 players on the pitch. Surely Kante counts as 2…at least.
Sho: I would trade Matic, Fred, McTominay, Lingard and Martial for Kante. Mind you that's probably still not enough.

James Milner heads it half-clear amd Trent Alexander-Arnold does the rest.
Diogo Jota wins the duel in the middle and Mohamed Salah then chips it incredibly, and it's almost over Edouard Mendy. That was ridiculous!!!
Mendy just about scrambles it around the post for a corner, which is headed over by Ibrahima Konate.

Virgil van Dijk gets his body across to deal with Christian Pulisic but the American puts enough pressure on him to force a corner.

Former Arsenal midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt’s remarkable what a goal can do for a player’s confidence. You can see that with Pulisic.

Liverpool are in again with Sadio Mane. He has players to his right, including Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota but he just dithers over it.
He's offside, just, anyway. The space is definitely there though.

There's a battle for it in the middle before Liverpool eventually get it cleared. Diogo Jota is on the break but his pass through to Mohamed Salah will roll all the way to Edouard Mendy.
