Play by play
- 90'
I'd write a further summary, but there's very little to write about. It was that good!
- 90'
And that's it. A predictable 0-0 bore draw.
- 90'
The long throw goes into the box - but it's a foul by Anelka. More excitement.
- 90'
Chelsea are the only team looking to win this in stoppage time
- 90'
Three more minutes of abject misery to go
- 90'
Gerrard feeds in Kuyt who turns Cole and is almost in on Cole but the Chelsea defender does brilliantly to show strength in the challenge and the chance in gone. You feel Torres would have scored there
- 89'
Malouda's cross is very calmly headed into the hands of Reina from the edge of the six yard box. That could easily have been very embarrassing!
- 88'
Pennant's cross is easy pickings for Cech
- 87'
Liverpool are taking everything very slowly. Let's be honest, they've been happy with a point since 16.01pm
- 86'
Ashley Cole goes mental after failing to win the throw right in corner. Calm down!
- 85'
Joe Cole is replaced now, Claudio Pizarro coming on
- 84'
Gerrard feeds Kuyt on the right and his reverse pass finds Pennant - his header drops harmlessly wide
- 83'
Seven minutes until the call of the Fish & Chip chop is answered. Mushy peas though? Or tomato sauce? What about BOTH! No, can't do that
- 82'
...great chance for Ballack, but it was just at an awkward height and he could only send it wide. Maybe that was the one chance???
- 81'
Mikel finds Ashley Cole inside the area towards the goal-line, he cuts it back for Ballack...
- 80'
Belletti takes but Alex cannot get his header past the sea of red shirts
- 79'
Anelka wins a corner off Mascherano. Time running out for something interesting to happen
- 78'
Alex is booked now, his fourth of the season
- 77'
Joe Cole twists and turns and delivers from the right - into the gloves of Reina
- 76'
Malouda almost gets in past the last man but it's cleared up in the air. Ballack challenges Reina but uses his arm to knock the ball free - clear free-kick
- 75'
Mascherano floats it in - it's not headed away but it does come to nothing - Crouch adjudged to have fouled Belletti
- 74'
So, free-kick to Liverpool 35 yards out. Will it be headed away? Let's see
- 73'
Crouch wins a free-kick for a foul by Carvalho. It will be a yellow card for the Portuguese and Makelele gets a warning for his protests
- 72'
Liverpool also make a substitution. Ryan Babel is sacrificed and Jermaine Pennant comes on
- 71'
Another change for the home side. Frank Lampard's return from injury comes to a close - he avoids the yellow card which woudl have ruled him out of the Carling Cup final. On comes Mikel John Obi on return from the Africa Cup of Nations
