an expectant anfield for this one and with good reason as Liverpool prepared to take on Chelsea who is going to [Applause] Prevail the action is live with us next on EA TV well you can almost put this scene on a postcard sun shining brightly at anfield absolutely perfect I'm Derek Ray at the microphone and joining me for match commentary is Stuart Robson and it's all about action from the Premier League in this case it is Liverpool taking on Chelsey yes thanks as always Derek we've got two good teams here so I'm anticipating a really good game the atmosphere is electric inside the stadium before kick off and hopefully we're not disappointed [Music] [Applause] and this is how Liverpool will line up Allison gets the nod in goal Andrew Robertson starts with Trent Alexander Arnold in the fullback positions and they line up with just the one Striker looking to do a bit of damage and here's how it looks for Chelsea well it's a 4-33 with two out andout Wingers but they do vary their movement they give width but they also make diagonal runs in field when the ball's on the opposite flank their performances will be key today can he take the chance oh a moment of pure class had to catch it perfectly and didn't he just well here's replay and it all starts off with that cross into the box just begging for a teammate to get on the end of it while the move in the box is equal to it it's such a good timing what a goal [Music] it'll be interesting to see whether or not Chelsea can articulate an appropriate reply Palmer this is looking threatening well didn't go to plan in the end can they get in behind them chance for the leveler tremendously strong in the tackle good bit of closing down kungu short attemped gives it the go and he's kept it out fully stretched somehow reaching it and overcomes the corner and efficient defending having to take on the shot oh goodness me off the post well Chelsea won't come any closer than that it really did look like being The Equalizer they were so unlucky there well they have to have that sense of self-belief it could happen for them took a really smart piece of Defending to stop them and lford exploiting the space on the flank here well the keeper had plenty to think about with bodies around [Applause] him Andrew Robertson VTO van dijk Tak it away [Applause] Thiago Silva C to see who got the last touch so a throw in it'll be mo kaedo kungu has it well patient passing could be the key to Bringing themselves level it's a perfect challenge soos poool have given it away [Applause] kungu Enzo Fernandez given away by Chelsea well it was pretty straightforward for the goalkeeper Alexander Arnold onto Kate Virgil Van Dyke Andrew [Music] Robertson he read the situation defensively and did his job Enzo Fernandez on the pass a good one well they continue their push for The Equalizer but definitely not forcing it kungu oh good defending to stop a decent looking attack can they hit on the [Music] [Applause] breaku Fernandez is it going to be that is a very fine challenge in difficult [Applause] circumstances this attack looks highly promising but a good piece of Defending to bring it to an end that's a useful cross well they can bring it out now kukura Fernandez Liverpool with the ball once more and the emphasis is on creativity oh Kaza but the goalkeeper didn't have to work quite as hard as I thought he might initially Palmer a very good tackle and support available just cutting off the supply and a chance to whip it in here now can they counter clinically well they have to pay attention and the danger still on the EO K [Applause] up [Applause] gust Fernandez looking for that final pass and for that chance to level the game CS it back they could level it spectacular save top class goalkeeping favoring the short one textbook defending Inside the Box takes the shot Corner given to Chelsea now what can they do with it and over it comes well not the best clearance trying to craft something a fine reading of the situation and if you're wondering about added time 2 minutes It'll be Darwin Nunes Robertson now [Music] was so a goal kick is what's coming up here [Music] and that brings to an end the first half here at anfield certainly have got to give this man high marks for his work up to this point Stewart well Derek he took his goal well and was a constant threat throughout that first half I thought he showed a lot of skill to get out of tight situations and he had a real impact on the [Music] plate well underway again Advantage Liverpool after the first 45 but a long way from being [Applause] settled Alexander Arnold onto sah great block and a substitution in the offic and he's fired over the Corner FES a pop from here gust rather than a free kick it's Advantage Chelsea and he's made Headway oh he did superbly well to get back there and thwart himu real chance oh my word there's excellent timing for you what a challenge can they do something positive on the Counterattack pump's [Applause] clear a Liverpool free kick coming up [Applause] [Music] oh he'll take it on and that's his goalkeeping of the very very highest order and a corner to Liverpool as they look to press home their advantage over it comes and Under Pressure that was a fine claim fedo K up can he put it away oh good save delivering it it hasn't come to very [Applause] [Music] much as you can see Liverpool have had all the ball in the last 15 minutes and have been threatening with it surely it's only a matter of time before they get another and into the last 30 minutes now getting in there to intercept the Chelsea move still flowing advantage to them Thiago silvaa and they KCK the ball Advantage Chelsea of at the ticket off casade and he takes on the shot well what a stop that was time for a change then can he deliver it with accuracy clearance left a bit to be desired the sight to shoot well such a high degree of difficulty not quite in the end well how good was that it's such a difficult piece of skill which he made Look So Easy that deserved a [Applause] goal marister and in the right position to read it plenty of supports here Sterling cross could be useful well it's gone in a goal for Chelsea who now on level well here it is again Sterling's cross really does invite somebody to attack it but the Finish is so easy he's given far too much time and space he doesn't even have to jump poor defending you have to say well you can see his frustration they've just lost their focus [Applause] here so in business once more on the back of that very important equalizer 1-1 Enzo Fernandez it's Sterling cutting in oh it's a superb challenge very timely a real opening now they've only gone and grabbed another one two goals in quick succession now they have the lead no wonder they're celebrating well here we can see it again look at the way Glides past the defender to create space for himself and then throw on goal he just goes for power and smashes it past the keepy but there's no stopping that what a great [Applause] finish so on with the match 2-1 is the score line what's going to happen next well we have 20 minutes left in this game a very effective challenge put in quite really be able to trouble them here can he play it in the cut back and Sterling has it and the referee's verdict is penalty kick well he's avoided a booking but the complaints continue and I can understand why I think it's a poor foul it should be a yellow car for [Music] me is it going to be 3-1 could grab hold of it well no damage done well that's how to keep the opposition at Bay and Chelsea Come Away with [Music] it a chance maybe from the wide position must be well he so badly wanted to net another one but the keeper playing his part well maybe that should have been his second but you can see another one coming he's playing so well here well the keeper is Happy the bar was there well had that gone in Liverpool would be in big trouble can that now Inspire them to turn oh they could put it away Stewart and that's a very good Parry Liverpool down by a goal in need of inspiration from the corner and they're making a change going [Applause] short angles it back huge block not away [Music] completely superb defensive judgment to end the attack [Music] [Applause] well they had a decent reading of that ball in Diaz L to the Box well thumped clear hea and a decent save full credit a corner then and with time running out they've got to ask questions [Music] well that's how to Shield the ball and control it mad good tackle 5 minutes remaining and one thing is certain no one is leaving because it's still [Music] close kukura [Applause] and Chelsea looking dangerous happy to take on the shot and how about that for a save well having been awarded the corner they'll no doubt look to put the issue beyond all doubt and time for the change now can someone get on the the end of this and just over the bar well he attacked it so well but he just couldn't get above it could he Dio jota Darwin Nunes time and circumstances against Liverpool but still they might hit back takes the shot oh the keeper made it look routine it was anything but well let's see what they have in store for them on the break rather than a free kick it's Advantage Chelsea and [Applause] kungu this could be it marvelous anticipation and Sterling has it element of risk there but but he's won the ball he could really get at the opposition can he put it in and the goalkeeper has outdone himself with that save time really is of the essence what can they do from this situation over it comes well four marks to him for that header but the goalkeeper did his job well I take my hat off to him because that was superb defending chance to finish oh a goal that levels it in the closing phase of this game well here it is again and that's the perfect B isn't it he strikes it so well what an excellent [Applause] Finish Well disappointment anger frustration whatever is going through his mind he needs to get his team going again here so underway again and it's a story of parity two goals a piece in this one and there's the referee's whistle these two sides cannot be separated
