(The Guardian) 14 min: Havertz: a fine footballer, and very elegant to boot. But not a striker. Sure, I know he scored in the Champions League final. Emmanual Petit once scored in a World Cup final, but that doesn’t make him good at finishing. Havertz doesn’t have a natural killer instinct. Broja is badly missed in this team.

(The Guardian) 17 min: Félix has, in contrast, looked very bright, both in this match and since his arrival in January. He’s unlucky to have a shot blocked on the edge of Liverpool’s area after a little shimmy sent Jones for a hot dog.

(The Guardian) 20 min: Enzo Fernández looks like the real deal. All action, tidy feet, good engine and decision making. He and Chilwell have been the best players so far.
22 min: Koulibaly is not the ball-playing centre back Chelsea want him to be. For all their good play, Chelsea’s back three are under intense pressure when they have the ball, and you can certainly see the benefit of having someone like Cucurella back there in those situations.

(The Guardian) GOAL DISALLOWED!25 min: From a Chelsea corner, Havertz flicks the ball on towards the back post, where Enzo Fernández is lurking. The ball is cleared but only so far as James, one of the purest strikers in world football. James hammers a volley past Alisson from 20 yards, an extraordinary strike on its own, but ultimately it counts for nothing. Enzo Fernández is ruled offside from Havertz’s flick. I’d say the Chelsea man is maybe an inch offside, it’s a close – but correct – call.

(The Guardian) 26 min: The players have a pre-agreed drinks break, so the players observing Ramadan, can take on fluids. Chelsea’s Kanté and Liverpool’s Konaté are among them.

(The Guardian) 28 min: Havertz gets clear but drags his shot well wide. It was more of a half-chance, with the Chelsea forward shooting from a wide angle, but you never fancied the German, furthering my earlier point.
31 min: Since the drinks break, Liverpool have had 77% possession, although haven’t really threatened. Still, it’s been a shift in momentum.

(The Guardian) 34 min: Alisson is nearly caught dallying by Havertz, who wins the ball back from Liverpool’s keeper on the byline, but can’t find a teammate with the bouncing ball. Fabinho did well there to tidy up. Half-time scores in the other Premier League matches tonight: Bournemouth 0-1 Brighton Leeds 2-1 Nottingham Forest Leicester 1-1 Aston Villa

We not allowed fouls today? Ref is biased?

(The Guardian) 38 min: Whisper it, but Cucurella has been excellent at the left-sided centre-back in Chelsea’s three.
40 min: Nunez and Fofana are having a proper ding-dong battle on Liverpool’s left flank. The former wins a corner for the away side, and Tsimikas delivers one of the worst corners of the season, which bounces before the first Chelsea man guarding the front post.
