    Early Diaz shot is cleared by Chelsea defenders

    Diaz is like a magnet for the ball and it gives him the game's best chance so far.

    He is released down the left and in on goal. He gets into the box and fires a low shot that Edouard Mendy does really well to get something on. The ball still creeps through him and towards goal but is hammered away before Mohamed Salah can capitalise.

    Chelsea are struggling.

    Kit mind games from Tuchel - confuse Klopp with the Dortmund colours. Genius!

    Luis Diaz again!

    He is giving Chelsea nightnmares.

    Andy Robertson wins the ball, drives forward and feeds in Sadio Mane, who then finds Diaz. He beats Trevor Chalobah again before pulling the ball back into the box and just past Mohamed Salah.

    Chalobah needs to get a grip on the forward.

    Luis Diaz is electric, probably the most in-form player on the pitch.

    There was a lot of talk about who Chelsea would put up against him - Cesar Azpilicueta, Trevoh Chalobah, Naby Sarr, and they've gone with the youth of Chalobah.

    We just had our first one v one - Diaz fancied himself, he was positive and it was a great ball into the box.

    He's one of those players, Diaz, who when he gets on it, as a midfielder or striker you make your move because you fancy he will win his battle.

    The ball is delivered into the Chelsea box but headed away by Romelu Lukaku, doing his defensive duties well.

    Jorginho is down. He has taken a ball straight to the face. No real harm done, though. However, Liverpool have a corner.

    That was amazing from Liverpool, they were so patient.

    It's a really good ball but there just wasn't anybody on the end of it.

    Not sure what Mendy was doing.

    First sight of goal!

    Luis Diaz is central to it, beating Trevor Chalobah before sending a ball across the face of goal that is just too far in front of the sliding Thiago.

    Diaz really has hit the ground at full pelt for Liverpool hasn't he?

    Big cheers from the Liverpool fans for Alisson, who makes a lumped back pass to him look routine. Down on his chest, to his knee and stopped dead on his boot.

    Jorginho is in the thick of it again, stumbling into a tackle to stop Luis Diaz causing any mischief.

    Although, they do try to fire an early pass forward to release Romelu Lukaku. Jorginho puts too much on it, though.

    We start with a bit of head tennis before Naby Keita gets the ball down and ushers in some slick passing.

    Two elite teams, these. They know each very well. You suspect Chelsea to be the more conservative, as is Thomas Tuchel's way.

    Flames leap into the air at the end of Abide with Me. The noise is off the scale at both ends of Wembley as kick-off nears. Smoke from red flares fills the air at the Liverpool end as the teams head out.

    Now both sets of players are lining up on the pitch together in front of a flag of Ukraine in a show of solidarity.

  20. What are Chelsea and Liverpool fans saying?published at 16:40 British Summer Time 14 May 2022

    Chelsea v Liverpool (16:45 BST)

    For the second time this season, Chelsea and Liverpool are descending on Wembley for a domestic cup final.

    Liverpool won the Carabao Cup on penalties after a gruelling 120 minutes in February, so what's going to make the difference this time?

    Can Chelsea get revenge and make amends for consecutive seasons of FA Cup final defeats?

    We caught up with some of our regular fan contributors - Ross Mooring from Chelsea Fancast , externaland Jordan Chamberlain, editor of Empire of the Kop , external- to hear their thoughts:

    Which opposition player are you most worried about?

    RM: There's no need to go past the obvious answer here - Mohamed Salah, who will be facing up with Antonio Rudiger and likely Marcos Alonso at wing-back. Salah's goal at Stamford Bridge in the 2-2 draw earlier this season, when he eluded Alonso in the inside right channel before calmly netting Liverpool's second, is a perfect example of his quality - and stopping it is easier said than done.

    JC: I would have said Mateo Kovacic, but it looks like the Croatia midfielder will be unavailable after picking up an injury in his last game. Bad news for him, good news for Liverpool, as he's brilliant. His absence though is levelled out with Fabinho also unfit. Mason Mount is a player who is highly underrated by football fans everywhere, and he worries me. He's not extremely fast, physical or technically eye-catching, but he's smart and gets into dangerous positions between the lines. He can pick a pass but also get on the end of one after a surging run. Keeping Mount quiet will be vital to our chances of victory.

    How do you think your manager will approach the game?

    RM: Were Mateo Kovacic to be fit, I think Tuchel would be quite happy to go toe to toe with the Merseysiders, as they did in the League Cup final in February. The Blues created more than enough chances to put that game away and tend to find it much easier to attack teams who don't defend deep. However, if the mobile Croat is not fit then we might see more of a defence-first approach. Both Kovacic and N'Golo Kante being out doesn't bear thinking about.

    JC: Like he approaches every single game - seeking to dominate space high up the field by deploying his famous high line, then use a highly-tuned counter-press to win possession and get numbers into the box quickly. At their best under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool suffocate teams and play at such a ferocity in 15 to 20-minute intervals that opponents are left waving invisible white flags. Even against Manchester City, Klopp didn't change tactics, which is why there've been so many great clashes between his side and the equally stubborn, but tactically different team of Pep Guardiola.

    Why will your team win?

    RM: Chelsea will need more big-game performances from the likes of Mason Mount, Kai Havertz and Reece James. Any one of those three are capable of providing that match-winning moment of quality.

    JC: Liverpool have more killers in attack and a rearguard and goalkeeper who can thwart Chelsea when they get in behind, which they will. No stopper in the country is better in one-v-one situations than Alisson. Mohamed Salah will have a point to prove too. He's not been at his best and his incredible goalscoring form has tailed off since the Africa Cup of Nations. Klopp rested him against Aston Villa, though, and the Egyptian will want to show the world his best on the big stage. Then, the game will be won in the midfield. Thiago missed the three games against Chelsea so far this season, but his composure on the ball and ability to pass through the lines will get the likes of Luis Diaz, Sadio Mane and Salah involved faster and more often.
