Liverpool vs Chelsea

1. 90'

   Manchester United face Sunderland at the Stadium of Light from 4pm. Join me, Michael Da Silva, for that one in little over half an hour from now.

2. 90'

   Liverpool were simply woeful today and recorded their first shot on target in the 91st minute. The game hinged on that ill-fated backpass from Steven Gerrard, from which Liverpool never recovered.

3. 90'

   And Alan Wiley blows the final whistle at Anfield. Chelsea celebrate and are on the brink of winning the title again.

4. 90'

   Chelsea sub: Joe Cole on for Anelka.

5. 90'

   3 minutes of injury time at Anfield. And finally we have a Liverpool shot on target! Kuyt's tame effort finds the arms of Cech.

6. 90'

   Chelsea are having to defend to the last as Ballack blocks Gerrard's shot.

7. 89'

   That's the end of a good day's work for Kalou, who leaves the field to Chelsea applause.

8. 89'

   Chelsea sub: Zhirkov on for Kalou.

9. 88'

   Mascherano seemed to have enough of all that Chelsea passing and a rush of blood to the head finds him in the referee's book.

10. 87'

    Yellow card: Mascherano (Liverpool)

11. 86'

    Chelsea are stroking the ball around very comfortably in the Liverpool half. Infact, the Chelsea fans are cheering every pass.

12. 84'

    Mascherano tosses the ball in the box for Lucas, who goes down under pressure from Ivanovic. But that is never a penalty.

13. 83'

    Liverpool are yet to have a shot on target.

14. 82'

    Ngog rolls the ball from the left to Agger who strikes with his weaker right foot. He sliced it and Chelsea have a goal kick.

15. 81'

    Liverpool, who look very tired, clear their lines.

16. 80'

    Chelsea counter after some sustained pressure from Liverpool. Chelsea were 5 against 3 for a moment, but Drogba's laboured pass to Anelka slowed the move down. Chelsea have a corner though.

17. 79'

    Ballack strikes it, but it's straight at Reina, who punches clear.

18. 78'

    Drogba is taken out by Lucas 25 yards out. Chance for Chelsea from the free kick.

19. 77'

    Liverpool make another attacking change in the hope of turning this around. It would be dramatic, but remains highly improbable.

20. 76'

    Liverpool sub: Ngog on for Aquilani.

21. 74'

    Kalou receives the ball from Malouda on the left and Kalou bundles his way through Mascherano's tackle, but his cross is straight into the arms of Reina.

22. 73'

    An intricate free kick routine sees Agger's shot charged down.

23. 72'

    Terry handles the ball outside the box and Gerrard is lining up a free kick, some 25 yards out.

24. 71'

    Kuyt forces a Liverpool corner, who haven't given up their spirit just yet.

25. 70'

    Mascherano is fouled and is receiving treatment.
