  1. 'It's an open game'published at 16:52 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February

    Former England and Newcastle striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It's definitely open now, there is so much space on the pitch and we're seeing that.

  2. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 89 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool

    For a moment it looks like some very bold tactics by Mauricio Pochettino as the fourth official's board shows Mykhailo Mudryk on for Levi Colwill, but then it is corrected with in fact Nicolas Jackson going off.

  3. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 88 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool

    Liverpool make a triple change as Andy Robertson, Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo are replaced by Kostas Tsimikas, James McConnell and Jayden Danns.

  4. 'Massive chance for Chelsea'published at 16:49 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February

    The touch from Gallagher isn't great. It is a great save and it's another massive chance for Chelsea.

    And another chance for Conor Gallagher but he can't make it count!

    Huge chances missed by Chelsea as we approach the end of normal time.

  6. CLOSE!published at 86 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool

    Oh Conor Gallagher has his head in his hands!

    Chelsea are finding gaps in the defence and the ball is played to Gallagher, who has just the goalkeeper to beat but hesitates and Caoimhin Kelleher closes him down quickly.

    What a chance!

  7. 'Nkunku should read it quicker'published at 16:48 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February

    Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool

    Alan Shearer
    Former England and Newcastle striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    I don't think Nkunku read the situation quicker, because it's a brilliant ball across the six yard box from Gusto.

  8. Postpublished at 85 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool

    Moises Caicedo plays a fantastic ball out wide to Malo Gusto, who crosses first time and for a moment Christopher Nkunku looks to have a good sight of goal but when he does reach the ball the angle is too tight and his effort is into the sidenetting.

  9. YELLOW CARDpublished at 84 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool

    Ibrahima Konate is booked as he prevents a Chelsea counter.

    Lots of fans are now chewing their fingernails nervously. Will we see a winner in normal time?

    It is all very tense.

  10. Postpublished at 82 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool

    Luis Diaz gets into the box and cuts back for Andy Robertson, whose shot goes well wide and towards the corner flag.

  11. 'Both teams have been positive with their changes'published at 16:43 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February

    Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool

    Paul Heckingbottom
    Former Sheffield United manager on BBC Radio 5 Live

    We hoped both teams would be more positive with substitutions. Clark on for Liverpool has allowed Elliott to get further forward and Nkunku on for Sterling is another positive change.

    Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool

    Joe Gomez goes for glory as the ball comes to him on the right side of the box. He hits the ball well but Djordje Petrovic has the angle covered.

    You can sense nervousness in the stands now. It is a finely poised contest.

    I think this is calling out for a late Mudryk winner... redemption is calling !!!!

    I reckon the engraver has already written Chelsea on the cup.

    Complete neutral but that’s an awful decision. How can you be penalised for interfering with a man that isn’t marking the man that scored?

    It really does feel this could go either way in these final 12 minutes.

    Conor Gallagher almost turns the Liverpool defence but Virgil van Dijk plucks the ball from his feet as the Chelsea forward tried to get a shot off.

  15. 'Great from Palmer'published at 16:39 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February

    Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool

    Alan Shearer
    Former England and Newcastle striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Great play from Cole Palmer out on the right side. Robertson didn't know what way he was going. Gallagher does well to work it across the goal and attempts to find the target.

  16. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 77 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool

    The woodwork this time denies Chelsea!

    Conor Gallagher flicks on Cole Palmer's ball into the box but his effort strikes the far post.

  17. 'Faith from Klopp'published at 16:38 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February

    Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool

    Former England and Newcastle striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It shows faith from Jurgen Klopp, one youngster on for another. He's had a quieter second half.

  18. Postpublished at 75 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool

    Ibrahima Konate is up to meet an outswinging delivery but the Chelsea defence is able to clear his header towards goal.

  19. Postpublished at 74 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool

    Christopher Nkunku is alert as he spots danger with a cross to the back post and gets back to clear.

    Liverpool win a corner soon after. Can they make this set piece count?

  20. Postpublished at 72 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool

    Liverpool have a couple of substitutes who are sons of players I can remember playing.

    One of those, Bobby Clark - son of ex-Newcastle and Sunderland midfielder Lee Clark - is on for Conor Bradley.
