- 90'+4'Thanks for joining our commentary this afternoon. Until next time, goodbye.
- 90'+4'Both clubs are next in action in the EFL Cup. Chelsea are at home against Barnsley on Wednesday, while Liverpool play Lincoln City on the road on Thursday.
- 90'+4'Liverpool secure their second win on the bounce in the Premier League by defeating Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge. The contest was fairly even in the first half, but the game changed when Andreas Christensen was sent off for hauling down Sadio Mane. The Reds capitalised in the second half as Mane headed home Roberto Firmino's cross to break the deadlock. He then pounced on a terrible mistake by Kepa Arrizabalaga, intercepting his pass out from the back before firing home. There was time for Jorginho to miss a penalty on a day to forget for Frank Lampard's men.
- 90'+4'FULL-TIME: CHELSEA 0-2 LIVERPOOL
- 90'+3'SAVE! Salah turns Tomori in the left inside channel and fires at goal. Kepa gets his body in the way to make the block, but it bounces towards Wijnaldum. The ball travels at speed to the Dutchman and it strikes his leg before he can react, which results in his effort travelling wide of the right post.
- 90'+2'SAVE! Mane lines up a drive on his left foot from 25 yards that takes a deflection off Tomori. Kepa does well to react and gets down to his right to palm it wide of the post.
- 90'There will be three minutes of added time.
- 90'James has performed well down the right for the Blues defensively and he throws his body on the line to make a block to deny Robertson.
- 88'Salah floats a cross into the box for Van Dijk, who just cannot force a strike towards goal under pressure from Zouma.
- 87'Werner the first player to win a Premier League penalty in each of his first two appearances since Eden Hazard in August 2012.
- 86'Minamino gets four minutes on the field to impress Klopp as he replaces Firmino.
- 84'SAVE! Abraham bursts into the left inside channel and opens up his body to shoot on his right foot. He generates power on his strike, but Alisson gets down to make a fine stop with his left hand.
- 82'WIDE! Thiago latches on to a loose ball on the edge of the box and strikes with venom on his right foot. However, he places his effort just wide of the left post.
- 81'Alexander-Arnold surges down the right and digs out a cross to the back post that James has to head away from lurking presence of Mane.
- 79'Abraham replaces Kovacic for the home side for the closing stages.
- 79'Jorginho is withdrawn for the home side and is replaced by Barkley.
- 79'OVER! Salah rolls the ball for Alexander-Arnold to strike, but he curls his effort over the bar. Not a bad strike from the full-back.
- 77'Tomori catches Firmino from behind and the referee awards the visitors a free-kick 25 yards from goal. Salah and Alexander-Arnold stand over the ball.
- 76'Jorginho has missed his first penalty for Chelsea in all competitions, having scored each of his previous eight fot the club since missing his final penalty for Napoli in November 2017.
- 75'SAVE! Alisson reads Jorginho and gets down to his right to make the stop. A good save from the Brazilian.
- 75'SAVED! Jorginho is denied from the spot by Alisson. The midfielder tries to place his effort to the right side of the net. Alisson guesses correctly and gets down to make the save before Firmino clears the danger behind for a corner. An opportunity missed by the Blues.
- 73'PENALTY TO CHELSEA! The Blues have a lifeline as Thiago brings down Werner in the box and sends the German tumbling to the deck. The referee does not hesitate in pointing to the spot.
- 70'It's so easy for the visitors now to control the pace of the game. They're knocking the ball around the pitch at their leisure.
- 68'OVER! Mount is afforded space and time 25 yards from goal to line up a strike, but he can only curl his effort over the bar with Alisson backpeddling.
- 66'SAVE! Wijnaldum bursts forward in the right inside channel and fires an effort low and hard towards the near post. Kepa does well to make a block with his boot to deny the Dutchman.
- 65'Thiago angles a cross towards the back post from the left flank, but his delivery sails over the head of Wijnaldum and out for a goal-kick.
- 64'Milner comes on to replace Keita in the middle of the park for the visitors.
- 63'Werner collects on the half-way line and runs at the Liverpool backline, but he gets crowded out by Fabinho before he can surge further into the Reds half of the field.
- 62'It's attack versus defence as Liverpool have the monopoly on possession. This will be a test of Chelsea's character to keep the scoreline respectable.
- 60'Liverpool work their way through the Chelsea defence again before Salah lines up a strike that deflects off Tomori and travels wide of the post.
- 58'Kante tries to break between the Liverpool lines and gets to the edge of the box before he gets edged out by Fabinho.
- 56'Mane is only the third Liverpool player to score a Premier League brace at Stamford Bridge, after Steve McManaman in December 1995 and Philippe Coutinho in October 2015.
- 54'GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! A TERRIBLE MISTAKE FROM KEPA HANDS MANE A GOAL!!!! 2-0!!!! Kepa's woes between the sticks continue for Chelsea as he allows Mane to intercept and score. The Spaniard plays his pass out from the back straight to the Sengalese. Mane blocks the offload before hammering his right-footed strike into the net from six yards - a reward for his persistence. A horrendous error from Kepa.
- 52'Liverpool are encamped in the Chelsea half now and are in complete control of proceedings now.
- 50'Alexander-Arnold and Thiago overplay the ball from the free-kick and the eventual cross is cleared by the home side.
- 50'Firmino combines with Salah before sending a perfect cross for Mane to head home.
- 50'GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! MANE HEADS LIVERPOOL IN FRONT!!! 1-0!!! The Reds take the lead courtesy of a clinical header from Mane. Salah and Firmino work a sublime one-two in the right inside channel. The Brazilian sends a good cross towards the penalty spot for Mane to attack. He gets there ahead of James to convert, directing it away from Kepa into the left corner of the net.
- 49'James brings down Mane on the edge of the box on the left flank. Liverpool have a free-kick in a dangerous position, although it might not be the best angle for a strike.
- 45'+2'Liverpool were quiet in front of goal for the majority of the first half, but they will sense an opportunity in the second period playing against 10 men. Frank Lampard's men will be up against it playing with a man down with Liverpool's potent attacking trio to fend off.
- 45'+2'It's goalless at the break at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League clash between Chelsea and Liverpool, although the home side have been reduced to 10 men. The first half was a tactical battle between the two sides, and Timo Werner perhaps had the best opening when he placed his effort wide of the target. The biggest incident of the half came just before the break when Andreas Christensen brought down Sadio Mane. The referee booked him at first, but a second look at the monitor convinced Paul Tierney to send off the Dane.
- 47'Liverpool work the ball down the left flank for Mane, but he sees his cross repelled by James behind for a corner.
- 45'+2'HALF-TIME: CHELSEA 0-0 LIVERPOOL
- 45'+2'WIDE! Alexander-Arnold lines up the resulting free-kick from 25 yards. He strikes his effort with power, but the ball drifts wide of the left post.
- 46'Havertz is the man sacrificed as Lampard brings on Tomori to shore up the backline.
- 46'We're back underway at Stamford Bridge.
- 46'Henderson leaves the field at half-time due to injury and Thiago replaces the Liverpool skipper, making his debut for the Reds.
- 45'+1'RED CARD! Christensen is sent off for bringing down Mane as the last man. Referee Paul Tierney initially booked the defender but after looking at the screen on the side of the pitch, he overturns his decision and sends off the Dane.
- 44'Christensen acts to bring down Mane after ball over the top from Henderson releases the forward. The referee books the Chelsea defender, but VAR is having a second look at the incident.
- 43'Mount wins possession in the Liverpool half and works the ball back to James. He floats a cross towards Alonso, but the Spaniard can only loop a header into the arms of Alisson.
- 43'Both sides are giving nothing away in possession. It has been a battle of wits in the first half.
- 41'Havertz sends the ball into a dangerous area in the box, but no blue shirt is there to connect with a header. A good free-kick from the German.
- 40'Henderson brings down Werner in the final third and Chelsea have a free-kick in a decent position on the left flank.
- 37'Kante works the ball to Havertz, who appears to be well offside. The German slides a cross to Werner, but he misses an open goal. The former RB Leipzig forward's blushes are spared by the offside flag.
- 36'WIDE! Liverpool create space for Henderson to lift a cross-field pass for Robertson. The Scot tries to connect first time with a strike in the inside channel, but he scuffs his attempt wide of the target.
- 34'CLOSE! Van Dijk floats a ball into the left inside channel where Salah takes it out of the air with one touch. He hammers a low ball across the face of goal, but no one in a red shirt can connect in the middle.
- 32'WIDE! Kante gets forward and he nods the ball to Werner. The German speeds past Fabinho and lines up a left-footed strike from the edge of the box that creeps wide of the right post. It's the best effort of the game so far.
- 30'There has not been been a clear-cut opening for either side yet. The defending has been on point, which will please Klopp after his side's display on the opening day.
- 28'The Reds have been patient in possession thus far. They're content to knock the ball around and try to open up space to exploit in the final third.
- 26'Havertz almost latches on to a ball over the top from Jorginho, but Alexander-Arnold edges out the German as the last defender for the Reds. He had to make that intervention.
- 25'Alexander-Arnold whips a cross into the box from the right flank, but Zouma is on hand to rise highest in the area to clear the danger for the hosts.
- 23'Kovacic floats a long ball over the top for the run of Mount, but the ball skips off the surface and away from the winger into the hands of Alisson.
- 22'It has been an even duel thus far between the two sides. Lampard will be encouraged that his team have fought back after being put on the back foot.
- 20'Werner is played into space down the left flank and he runs at Fabinho, but the defender wins the duel again to dispossess the forward on the edge of the box.
- 19'Salah surges into the final third cutting in from the right flank to shoot on his left foot, but he drilks his effort straight at Zouma.
- 18'The Blues are beginning to settle into the contest after being on the back foot for the early stages.
- 16'Chelsea play their way through the Liverpool midfield with Werner, Havertz and Mount. The latter offloads to Kante in space, but the midfielder dwells on the ball and the chance is spurned.
- 13'BLOCK! Christensen saves Kepa's blushes with a vital block to deny Firmino. The Chelsea keeper races to his left to try to beat Salah to a deflected shot. The Egyptian beats him there and sends a low ball towards the near post. Firmino tries to flick it goalwards, but is denied by Christensen on the line.
- 12'WIDE! Wijnaldum has space on the edge of the box and he lines up a strike that curls wide of the target. Liverpool are dominating possession at Stamford Bridge.
- 11'Salah goes down under pressure in the box from Alonso, but the referee waves away his appeal for a penalty.
- 9'Robertson tests James down the flank and the Chelsea right-back has to concede a corner following the cross from the Scot.
- 8'Robertson has space and time down the left flank to send a cross into the box. Jorginho gets back to cover and sweep the ball out of the area.
- 7'Mane drifts down the left inside channel and forces a low ball into the box, but Zouma is on hand to clear the danger for the home side.
- 5'Liverpool are seeing a lot of possession in the early stages, but have not managed to forge a path through to goal as of yet.
- 3'Alonso sends a ball down the left flank for Werner to chase. The German runs at Fabinho and tries to get the better of the defender down the inside channel. However, the Liverpool man stands firm and wins a free-kick for the visitors.
- 2'Robertson lifts a cross in from the left flank aiming for Salah at the back post, but Alonso chests it back to Kepa.
- 1'We're underway at Stamford Bridge.
- -Chelsea have lost each of their last three Premier League meetings with Liverpool; only once before have they lost more in a row against the Reds in the competition (four between November 2010 and May 2012).
- -Klopp is forced into one change from his side that defeated Leeds in their opener. Joe Gomez is absent due to injury so Fabinho starts next to Van Dijk in the back four. Joel Matip is also missing due to injury, leaving the Reds lacking in depth at the back. Thiago starts on the bench following his move from Bayern Munich during the week.
- -Chelsea have made one change to their side from their win over Brighton last time out. Ruben Loftus-Cheek misses out on the squad completely and is replaced by Kovacic, who slots into the middle of the park alongside Jorginho and Kante. Werner, Havertz and Mount form a three-man attack. Christian Pulisic is still missing due to injury.
- -LIVERPOOL SUBS: Thiago Alcantara, James Milner, Adrian, Curtis Jones, Takumi Minamino, Konstantinos Tsimikas, Divock Origi.
- -LIVERPOOL (4-3-3): Alisson; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson; Naby Keita, Jordan Henderson, Georginio Wijnaldum; Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane.
- -CHELSEA SUBS: Ross Barkley, Tammy Abraham, Willy Caballero, Fikayo Tomori, Olivier Giroud, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Cesar Azpilicueta.
- -CHELSEA (4-3-3): Kepa Arrizabalga; Reece James, Andreas Christensen, Kurt Zouma, Marcos Alonso; Mateo Kovacic, Jorginho, N'Golo Kante; Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, Mason Mount.
- -Liverpool also began their season with a victory, albeit in less convincing circumstances. The Reds were pegged back three times by Leeds at Anfield, but duly secured the win courtesy of a second successful from Mohamed Salah, who notched a hat-trick on the night. Salah was outstanding and looks to be fit and firing for the new campaign. Jurgen Klopp will have been concerned by his side's defensive frailities and those will come under the spotlight against Chelsea's talented frontline this afternoon.
- -Chelsea kicked off their Premier League campaign with a convincing 3-1 win over Brighton and Hove Albion on Monday. Goals from Jorginho, Reece James and Kurt Zouma delivered the three points at the Amex Stadium. All eyes were on Timo Werner and Kai Havertz following their moves to the club. Werner made an impressive debut, while Havertz was quiet. Expect them to flourish as they adjust to life in the English top flight, and today is the perfect test of their abilities.
- -Good afternoon and welcome to the live commentary of the Premier League clash between Chelsea and Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
