Got tickets outside the ground, there were a few sellers in the city centre selling tickets for crazy money. €500 for singles and €1200 for a pair together. If I was stuck I'd pay that for a final, but not a group game.

Away section? What you pay ?
The lad with us who didn't have one didnt try tbh so just 4 of us were in there...

Moreno starts

I can see why Klopp wants to start him, he has to learn from his mistakes & up until Sevilla he had been doing well. You have to give players a chance to redeem themselves .... I think this is make or break for him though, I reckon he's got until Boxing Day or we will be seeing a lot more of Milner at LB.

What's the predictions for today then, a crazy 3-3 or a boring 0-0?

He messed up midweek. I think if you fall off your bike, it is better to get up and try again straight away. His decent performances this season means he deserves his second chance. Mess up again and Klopp has fired a warning by bringing Robertson back into the squad.

I see United fluked a win today. #typical

Interesting line up! Milner, The Ox and Sturridge all start. No Firmino or Mane in the starting line up. Contain in the first half and hit them with the fresh legs of Mane in the second half?

No Lovren? Injured?

I think if we beat Chelsea today by a 3 goal margin, we'll go above them into 3rd. #justsayin

[Flip Martian]

Good to see Lallana back.

[Chris Stott]

Since when have we been able to 'contain' anyone

Interesting line up.

To me his decent performances have been when we have had loads of possession so he has not been tested. Against decent attacking teams it ends up with him doing his usual mistakes.

He didn't fall off a bike, he messed up, against Seville again and cost us the game. You are defending the indefensible.

I am not Moreno's greatest fan but he has been decent this season - if someone messes up once, they at least deserve the opportunity to make up for it.

Having said that, I am still nervous about him. As NRS says, he looks ok against lesser teams when we dominate possession. Against the Chelsea's he may be found wanting. And with Moreno, you just know while he will get up the pitch a lot and ping in a lot of crosses, all it will take is for him to switch off once at the back. He still however deserves the opportunity to play.

Decent bench anyway!

We have to looked decent so far, but Chelsea don't seem to be trying to do much.

Edit Salah has their left back on toast.

[Chris Stott]

Bright start.

[type-r]

Good save by Mings from Hazard.

Would have been a knob if he had missed it and was st on the corner.

Edit but that was excellent when Drinkwater was through - really good.

[type-r]

Another good save by Mings from Drinkwater. And another save from Zappacosta.

Chelsea coming into this now.

[jammy-git]

Dare I say Moreno has started well?

Definitely look like we're going to get hit on the break though.

[Chris Stott]

Hmmmmm, comedy in the penalty area again.

[pinchmeimdreamin]

Hazard is just playing with our defence, Sorry guys I have retreated behind the sofa

I think the Ox has started brightly too. Looks really up for this
