As fans start to make their way out for a half-time hot drink, there's no such urgency on the pitch. Liverpool have been set a puzzle by Chelsea and they haven't got the foggiest. That's a corner though...

For what is essentially a slow, steady game, there's a bit of needle in this. Lucas joins Steven Gerrard in the book and then gives referee Martin Atkinson a mouthful of grief, and seconds later Filipe Luis joins him for a very soft challenge on Lazar Markovic.
Liverpool then scream for a penalty for handball as a defender challenges on the floor - nothing given!

...and there's the halftime whistle!
While the match started slow, the action picked up, though a Chelsea penalty has given the Blues the current lead....your score at the half: Chelsea 1, Liverpool 0

"Liverpool did a lot right in that first 45 minutes but defensive sloppiness led to Emre Can's foul on Eden Hazard and the penalty. Chelsea and Jose Mourinho are experts in this situation but plenty to give Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers room for optimism."

"Chelsea are value for money. They just have a little bit more class in certain areas than Liverpool. Chelsea love defending. The back four love it. The better the team, they stick their chests out and say 'come on then, try to beat us'."

"What I will say is that the referee is managing to spoil this game. There's hardly been a bad tackle but there's been a few yellows already."

....my own thought: it could be worse, Howard Webb could be officiating this game... whistle1 whistle1

Liverpool again doing their best to look a threat but the Chelsea defence and midfield shield have seen it all before. If you haven't got Harry Kane you'll struggle to score past Chelsea at the moment...

Daniel Sturridge is in the stands wearing a Sherlock Holmes-style deerstalker. Liverpool can't wait to get him back on the pitch, without him they look devoid of threat.

...my own thought: we could use Studge right about now... whistle1

"Liverpool haven't changed anything tactically but they are pressing. Chelsea are struggling to get out of their own half but they are a very able team at soaking up pressure. It's what they do."

....from the BBC's Twitter feed....
-Tim Purcell: LFC need to unsettle Matic as he is keeping the ball flowing. Rodgers will work it out. People need to lay off him.
-Chelsea Warrior: Not surprised with our resoluteness in the middle. Matic/Mikel duoploy. Bus well and truly parked. Love it.
-Christian Stevens: We've had three players up front every time Liverpool get a set piece and we're still 'parking the bus' apparently.

Lazar Markovic, hair blowing in the wind like a young Keanu Reeves, is putting a shift in on the right but he has no end product yet tonight. A scuffle off the ball between Raheem Sterling and John Terry before Sterling sees a shot deflected away from danger. That has lifted the Kop.

"Raheem Sterling tried to go around him. John Terry just stopped him at first, completely. He bear-hugged him. It was most definitely a foul."
