    I think Jackson was offside, the assistant chooses not to flag and do it later on. It's a tight one, I think Liverpool just get it right, but it is tight.

    Out come the lines on the VAR to see what part of Nicolas Jackson is offside.

    It is close, but maybe his knee is just off...

  3. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 15:33 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February

    Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool

    The Blue half of Wembley erupts as Raheem Sterling drives home from Nicolas Jackson's fine pass, but the flag is up quickly.

    Jackson is adjudged offside, but this looks close. VAR checking.

    A swirling ball into the box by Cole Palmer looks momentarily like it might catch out Djordje Petrovic but the Chelsea goalkeeper adjusts himself accordingly to make the catch.

    And that’s the end of Ryan Gravenberch after a very poor challenge by Moises Caicedo. Not great at all.

    It’s all a bit scrappy so far and Liverpool’s injury list lengthening further.

    After the injury to Gravenberch, Jurgen Klopp has pushed Conor Bradley forward and Joe Gomez has gone in at right back.

    Chelsea have suddenly got four players on the attack as Liverpool adjust following that enforced change. Nicolas Jackson leads the charge but he makes the wrong choice with his pass and the opportunity is gone.

    Klopp has a point, it's a late challenge and Caicedo does land on Gravenberch.

    Ryan Gravenberch is taken off on the stretcher and on comes Joe Gomez.

    Desperately frustrating for Gravenberch to be having to go off 27 minutes into a final.

    Jurgen Klopp is fuming with the officials.

    Kelleher has just kept Liverpool in this game. Massive save from GK No.2

    Poor challenge by Moises Caicedo as he leaves Ryan Gravenberch writhing in pain.

    Caicedo can count himself fortunate to escape a booking as the stretcher comes out.

    Some real concern here for Jurgen Klopp and his injury-hit side.

    This is game is just starting to open up, Cole Palmer had a great opportunity. Because Liverpool are being brave, both full-backs are forward and Chelsea are able to break forward.

    That will give Chelsea some confidence because until that chance it looked like only a matter of time before Liverpool took the lead.

    As we saw there, when Chelsea get it right, they can make dangerous opportunities.

    What a save that is from Kelleher, it's a magnificent save. The goal is open, it's gaping open and that is a magnificent save.

    What a save from Kelleher! The crowd were just waiting for the net to ripple when the ball bounced to Palmer on the edge of the six-yard-box. The Liverpool fans were on their feet when the ball was cleared.

  17. GREAT SAVE!published at 21 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool

    Huge save!

    Out of nothing Chelsea have the best chance of the game as the ball deflects through to Cole Palmer, six yards out and with just Caoimhin Kelleher to beat. The shot is strong but Kelleher saves superbly, before Nicolas Jackson's follow up is blocked.

    What an opportunity for the Blues, who have been second best for most of the game so far.

    How many players involved today will be among Gareth Southgate's squad for Euro 2024 this summer?

    Is it fair you could say none are guaranteed? Very strange to suggest that considering the calibre of the clubs but it's an arguable point...

    He had to get that tackle right and he got it spot on, Conor Bradley has been the outstanding player on the pitch so far.

    Liverpool are taking more risks, you find Bradley is pressing and you know he has the security of Konate and Van Dijk behind him
