Simon: Hope BBC Football are just going to call Chelsea ‘the Blues’ all the way through the live text coverage to emphasise how absurd the colour change is, red vs blue surely the epitome of tradition

It is a contest now. Tackles are going in, hard but fair. Mateo Kovacic does really well to take the ball off Sadio Mane as the Reds forward was looking to shoot.

Khan: No Fabinho is tough for Liverpool with Champions League final coming up but if Alisson and Salah don’t make it then it would definitely be an uphill task. Hope all recovers ASAP

Tom: I fear that Salah injury will deflate the great start we made but oh I hope Mo is OK for Paris

Luis Diaz started really lively, with this chance the best of those he was involved in....

He's not been as involved in the last 10-15 minutes, though.

Javel: Despite Liverpool's early domination, they haven't really tested Mendy. I'd say there's just as much chance Chelsea score first. They'll be feeling better as this goes on.

This is a big worry, Salah is not the type of player who just takes a seat.

He plays a lot of games, a lot of minutes, he’s had a long season – I know most Liverpool players have but chuck the African Cup of Nations into that as well.

Ashwin: Salah out for the season?

When you see all the team mates around him, that's when you worry. I think it's his groin.

If ever there was a sour for Chelsea, it is Salah departing.

Christian Pulisic almost pours salt in Liverpool wounds, but his shot in the box is blocked and cleared.

Let's be fair, the FA Cup is probably third in the list of remaining trophies Liverpool would like to win this season.

Salah will be needed more after this. They'll be very much hoping his injury isn't serious. In the meantime, there is a Cup final to win.

Oof. Potentially huge moment in this Cup final.

Mohamed Salah goes off to be replaced by Diogo Jota.

Is there a bit of precaution about this with two other huge trophies to contest after this?

Now Mohamed Salah is down and needing treatment. It's not often he drops to the turf. He very rarely misses a game.

There is concern. Big, big concern for the Reds.

Alisson looks to be OK. Very good news for Liverpool.

Thomas Tuchel doesn't stop, does he? He's not quite Mikel Arteta manic, but he's still a ball of barely contained energy on the touchline. That Alonso chance draws a stride, a cap readjustment and finally some applause from the Chelsea boss.

Alisson has actually hurt himself in making that save.

He did get a bit of clattering from Alonso's follow-through. Body on the line.

Big save!

Christian Pulisic puts Marcos Alonso in on goal, but the ball just gets away from him, inviting out Alisson, who gets down brilliantly to block when the shot does come in.

That is a big save each for the Liverpool and Chelsea keepers.

Chelsea just look to have wrestled a bit of control back here.

It's not quite the one-way traffic of the first 20 minutes.

Oh, close!

Chelsea explode into life. Mason Mount's first serious involvement sees him released down the right. His pull-back finds Christian Pulisic in the box but his low shot dribbles just past the far post.

The Blues have been on the back foot for most of this first 24 minutes, but they have more than enough quality to hurt Liverpool.

It's the Liverpool end that have had the most to get excited about so far - but the game remains goalless despite their superiority.

Liverpool have already had six shots, finding the target once.

In 20 minutes, Chelsea are yet to touch the ball in the Liverpool area.
