Chelsea 2-0 Liverpool
Swift break by Chelsea through Noni Madueke on the right. He gets to the box, cuts inside before his shot is blocked.
The ball then falls to Enzo Fernandez, who sees Jadon Sancho in a better position and passes to the forward, but his low drive is saved by Alisson.

Image source, Getty ImagesI can't believe Salah does not score. I know he's not noted for his heading, but he is at the back post, it is right on his head and he just needs to find the far corner - but he couldn't do it.

Another change for Chelsea as Romeo Lavia is replaced by Malo Gusto.

This probably sums up Liverpool's day as Kostas Tsimikas picks out Mohamed Salah at the far post with a cross but he sends it wide.

Liverpool are looking more like themselves now but time is running out if they are to avoid only a third league defeat of the season.

Not bothered about the result overall, or the performance really. But Darwin Nunez, the door cannot open fast enough this summer.

I have never seen a player behave like Caicedo has in this game and not get a booking.

Some nice play by Liverpool before the ball is played into the box for Darwin Nunez, but he is held off strongly by Trevoh Chalobah. Good defending.

Since last Sunday fans of other clubs have claimed Liverpool are an average team who only won the title because other teams had a poor season. Now they are complaining because this average team are not beating Chelsea away.

That's a big chance for Nunez and would have been a really good time to score. He's in front of Caicedo, it's a free header. He just doesn't look right at all.
Chelsea 2-0 Liverpool
Oh a poor miss from Darwin Nunez as he rises to meet a cross but plants his header well wide.
Had to get that on target from that distance.

Liverpool keep up the pressure as Moisés Caicedo clears a Mohamed Salah ball into the box, before Kostas Tsimikas tries to bundle his way through the defence but the ball bounces through to Robert Sanchez.

Cole Palmer has won the most duels (5), created the most chances (3) and had the joint-most touches in the opposition box (5) of any player on the pitch this afternoon.

Image source, Getty ImagesLiverpool may not care about Chelsea now but they are being well beaten after securing the Premier League title by a team that's still fighting for something.
The six rotations have left Arne Slot's team disjointed in defence and midfield. It has allowed Chelsea's best eleven to dominate from start to finish.
The away support remain in party mode, chanting "champions", which sums up how little this will bother them.
But a well-funded, one year older Chelsea squad with Champions League football behind them could be a big threat coming into next season.

Harvey Elliott takes the free-kick but drives it straight into the wall.
Better from Liverpool at the moment, however.

Liverpool fans are still having a party, still singing. They are 2-0 down and don't care - or maybe pretending they don't care!
Chelsea 2-0 Liverpool
Liverpool have finally woken up a bit and win a corner. In comes the delivery to Virgil van Dijk, who has a free header but he loops his effort onto the roof of the net.
Image source, Getty ImagesChelsea 2-0 Liverpool
Nicolas Jackson gets the better of Jarell Quansah on the left and immediately decides to go for goal, but Alisson scoops up the ball at his near post.
If Jackson had paused for a moment he'd have seen he had options for the pass inside the box.
Probably should have been 3-0.

Chelsea are winless in their last 10 meetings with Liverpool in all competitions (D7 L3), only once before going longer without a win over the Reds (11 from 1985 to 1990).
After their 2-1 win in October, Liverpool are looking to complete their first league double over Chelsea since their title-winning 2019-20 campaign. Arne Slot could become only the third Reds boss to win both of his first two league games against Chelsea in charge of the club, after Bill Shankly and Roy Evans.
Chelsea have picked up 17 points in their last eight Premier League matches (W5 D2 L1), having collected just nine points from their previous 10 beforehand (W2 D3 L5).
Champions Liverpool have scored in each of their last 30 Premier League matches since a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest in September. The only side to have a longer scoring run within a single campaign was Arsenal in the 2001-02 campaign, who scored in all 38 games.
Chelsea have not used a single player over the age of 27 in a Premier League match this season, with this run of 34 games the longest by a side in Premier League history. The previous longest had been a run of only six by Liverpool in April/May 2000.
This will be Chelsea’s seventh Premier League game against a side already crowned champions, the most of any side. They’ve only won one of the previous six (D2 L3), beating Man Utd 1-0 in 2012-13, while one of their defeats was a 5-3 reverse against Liverpool in July 2020.
Liverpool haven’t lost any of their last 20 Premier League matches in the month of May (W16 D4), though their last defeat was at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea in 2018.
Only three players have created more chances in the Premier League this season than Chelsea’s Enzo Fernández (73). The only Argentinians to create more in a season record (since 2003-04) are Emiliano BuendÃa in 2019-20 for Norwich (83) and Erik Lamela in 2015-16 for Spurs (75).
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has scored 28 Premier League goals and has a further 18 assists this season and needs one goal or assist to equal the record for goal involvements in one season, held by Andrew Cole in 1993-94 and Alan Shearer in 1994-95 (34 goals, 13 assists in both instances).
32-year-old Mohamed Salah has 28 Premier League goals for Liverpool this season and needs one more goal to equal the record for goals aged 30 or older in a campaign, held by Didier Drogba for Chelsea in the 2009-10 season (29).
