    I'm a Chelsea fan and I couldn't care less about decisions given either way. Everyone who moans about referee standards realises that that's what led to VAR in the first place? Moaning about officials? Yet now we all hate VAR, unless it gives a decision your teams way. Pathetic. It's a game, get over it.

    Conor Bradley swings in a cross and Luis Diaz heads wide. Surely Liverpool are going to take one of these chances.

    They have been under the cosh [Chelsea].

    They would like to slow the game down and string a few passes together. Liverpool have no intentions of letting them do that.

    Darwin Nunez is getting closer.

    Darwin Nunez has a shot tipped onto the woodwork by the keeper... for the second time in the opening 18 minutes.

    Chelsea cannot get out of their own half they are trying to play and being brave, but Liverpool's pressing has been exceptional.

    James: As a Liverpool fan I think if that penalty was given, it doesn't get overturned.

    Phil: Nice to see after a week of moaning about Tierney by Liverpool he refused to give a clear penalty for fear of upsetting them.

    Darwin Nunez makes his 50th Premier League appearance for Liverpool. Since he made his debut in August 2022, only Mohamed Salah (33) has scored more Premier League goals for Liverpool than his 16.

    Darwin Nunez is on another one of those nights where he's just peppering in the shots left, right and centre. He fizzes one in from 25 yards that goes just wide.

    A reminder that every team's fans think referees are biased against them or biased for their rivals...

    Noah: That is a stonewall pen. The Liverpool bias strikes again.

    Gregg: How on Earth is that not a pen? Absolutely stonewall but not given by VAR, absolute joke!

    Steve: If no pen then Gallagher should have been booked. Long night ahead for Chelsea if VAR don't even bother to look. Wait for the wind to get a pen for Liverpool later.

    Diogo Jota flicks on Dominik Szoboszlai's free-kick with his head but it's just beyond Darwin Nunez.

    Chelsea have barely had an attack yet. Joe Gomez, at left-back, stops Axel Disasi and then Cole Palmer on the wing.

    Darwin Nunez goes even closer than the last one. His long-range strike is tipped onto the top of the crossbar by Djordje Petrovic.

    The corner comes to nothing.

    Conor Gallagher takes a touch past Virgil van Dijk, but I think Gallagher goes down too easily.

    I think it is the correct decision, a tiny bit of contact.
