Chelsea vs Liverpool LIVE: Latest Carabao Cup final updates from Wembley

Chelsea get the ball in the back of the net first as an aerial ball comes over to Cole Palmer. He feeds it down the line for Nicolas Jackson’s run through the middle of the centre-backs.

He collects the ball, drives into the right side of the box and curls a pass across to Raheem Sterling who slots it home with ease.

The assistant referee sends the offside flag up and a quick delay for a VAR check shows that his decision was correct.

30 mins: Chelsea have settled down a bit. They’re seeing more of the ball and getting into Liverpool’s half as the Reds try to gel in the new formation.

Jurgen Klopp doesn’t look to have relaxed on the sidelines yet. He’s still ticking.

27 mins: The lack of experienced substitutes for Liverpool mean that Jurgen Klopp does not have a like-for-like replacement for Ryan Gravenberch.

Jurgen Klopp is fuming with the officials on the sidelines over that tackle.

Liverpool have undergone a formation changes with Gomez slotting in at right-back and Conor Bradley pushed onto the right wing and Harvey Elliott dropped into midfield.

24 mins: Ryan Gravenberch is the victim of a heavy tackle that gets Mo Salah and many of the Liverpool back room staff out of their seats.

Moises Caicedo landed on Gravenberch’s ankle which twisted under him. The stretcher is being brought out for the Liverpool midfielder which is another injury they don’t need.

Joe Gomez is getting ready to come on.

Huge moment. Chelsea break up the pitch after feeding the ball across to Conor Gallagher on the right side. He curls a low pass across the box and picks out Raheem Sterling on the run.

Sterling can’t control the ball but it bounces into the path of Cole Palmer who rattles one at goal only for Caoimhim Kelleher to leap to his left and stop the ball with his body.

Massive save from the Liverpool goalkeeper.

20 mins: Conor Bradley is fed the ball after drifting into midfield and spins away from Enzo Fernandez. He carries it within range of goal and takes a shot only for the first defender, may Ben Chilwell, to get the block in.

18 mins: The Liverpool fans have been the loudest inside the stadium and their team is replicating that enthusiasm on the pitch. Chelsea, bar a couple of set pieces, haven’t really threatened and look nervous and shaky at the back.

Axel Disasi is caught in possession deep inside his own half by Cody Gakpo. Gakpo releases the ball to Luis Diaz who takes it into the area and shoots only for Petrovic to drop low and smother the effort.

Big opportunity for Liverpool that one.

14 mins: Shot! Liverpool burst up the pitch on the break and move the ball around the box before Luis Diaz’s shot is blocked just inside the penalty area.

The Reds recover possession through Wataru Endo who pokes it up to Alexis Mac Allister. He drills a shot from range and fizzes the effort into the hands of Djordje Petrovic.

12 mins: Chelsea win themselves the first corner of the match which Ben Chilwell, Chelsea’s captain today, whips into the middle of the box.

Caoimhim Kelleher comes out to punch the ball away but it drops to Conor Gallagher. He looks the keep the pressure on and wins a free kick after Luis Diaz bundles him to the ground.

The free kick is then swung into the box but Liverpool work it safely away.
