Alisson Becker 7
Brave point-blank save to deny Havertz and confident in dealing with Chelsea threat.
Joe Gomez 7
Kept busy as Chelsea looked to mine the flanks but stuck to his task and got forward on occasion, not least when warming the palms of Kepa before the break. Decent.
Joel Matip 6
Defending at times appeared last-ditch but was effective first half but a bit wayward after that. Booked.

Ibrahima Konate 6
Atoned for an error by clearing off the line from Kovacic and took a proper whack from Kante first half. Kept going second half.
Kostas Tsimikas 4
Gave the ball away twice to prompt Chelsea chances early on and out of position far too often. Not his best night. Booked and subbed.
Fabinho 6
Pressed high and with intent, and looked to play team-mates in between the lines when going forward. Close with two efforts before break. Booked.
Jordan Henderson 6
Sought to get Liverpool moving with some hard pressing and range of passing. Influential but began to fade after the hour.
Curtis Jones 6
Neat enough in possession, added energy and wasn’t afraid to get stuck in. Endeavoured to get forward when possible. Booked and subbed.
Diogo Jota 6
Plenty of effort down the right flank but a first half of nearly things for the Portuguese. Moved to the centre after Salah’s introduction.
Roberto Firmino 6
Dropped very deep on occasion to help out defensively and find possession, used ball well but minimal threat in final third. Subbed.
Darwin Nunez 6
Occasionally drifted inside in pursuit of the ball during frustrating first half, but much more of a threat after break and tested Kepa. Subbed.
Mohamed Salah (for Firmino 65) 5
Barely had a touch.
Andy Robertson (for Tsimikas 65) 6
Some running down the left.
James Milner (for Nunez 79)
Minutes.
Cody Gakpo (for Jones 79)
