Liverpool vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League score, result and reaction from flat goalless draw at Anfield

14 mins: Oh hello! Thiago Silva plays a lovely diagonal ball up the pitch and floats it over the head of Ibrahima Konate to drop the ball into the penalty area.

Kai Havertz is open and goes for a first time volley but his miscues his effort and hooks it wide of the near post.

That was a beautiful pass from Thiago Silva though to set up the chance.

11 mins: Ibrahima Konate runs into midfield with the ball but has no options. He attempts to pick out Harvey Elliott on the left wing but his diagonal ball is recovered by Hakim Ziyech.

Thiago Alcantara presses up the pitch but Ziyech turns past him before getting brought down by the Liverpool midfielder.

8 mins: That offside goal was a close run thing and Chelsea will feel a bit gutted that it’s been ruled out. Liverpool need to sharpen up, they’ve been shown that Chelsea can pose a threat so will have to be more solid at the back.

Naby Keita flicks the ball up to Cody Gakpo who releases it to Andy Robertson. The Reds switch the ball over to James Milner whose cross is dealt with by Benoit Badiashile.

5 mins: Drama! VAR takes a look to see if the goal is legitimate but Liverpool have got a reprieve. Kai Havertz is judged to be just offside as Thiago Silva turned the ball onto the post so the goal gets chalked off!

3 mins: Chelsea take the lead! Conor Gallagher whips the corner into the box and picks out Benoit Badiashile. He nods the ball down to Thiago Silva who flicks the ball onto the near post!

The rebound comes to Kai Havertz who prods it home to put Chelsea ahead!

2 mins: Ouch! Andy Robertson puts in the first heavy challenge of the day and takes out Conor Gallagher with a late lunging tackle. The referee awards Chelsea the free kick but spares Robertson a yellow card.

Chelsea’s free kick is worked out for the first corner of the game.

Chelsea get the ball rolling and work it over to the left wing where it’s won in the air by James Milner. He’s playing at right-back Liverpool today with Trent Alexander-Arnold starting on the bench after a recent injury.

Here come the teams.

Whoever wins this one today will jump up to sixth in the table - until the rest of the weekends fixtures get underway - and will still be in with a chance of making the top four.

The loser will be stuck in midtable and a long way back.

Kick off is up next...

The warm-ups are over at Anfield. Which way will this one go today? Liverpool have to be the favourites with their home advantage but neither side is in great form and it could go either way.

Mo Salah and Darwin Nunez have scored 10 of Liverpool’s last 11 goals at Anfield in all competitions, excluding own goals.

Nunez starts on the bench for the Reds today so can the likes of Cody Gakpo step up and find the target this afternoon?
