Emma Hayes will be pleased with this response from Chelsea.
Liverpool's only chance, if you can call it that, since opening the scoring is an effort from Natasha Dowie who was only just inside Chelsea's half of the field.

Guro Reiten is the latest to have a pop for Chelsea after latching on to a perfectly weighted through ball but Faye Kirby again stands firm to deny her.

Wonderful from Kerr to get behind but she's tracked by Gemma Bonner who gets across and lunges beautifully to block.
That was going right in that corner.

A lovely ball from Erin Cuthbert as she fires it over the Liverpool back line to pick out Sam Kerr.
The Australian tries to fire at the target from just inside the area but Gemma Bonner dives in to make a potentially goal-saving block.

Good goalkeeping from Kirby so far. She's a young goalkeeper who has the confidence to command her back line.

This would be a huge result.

That early goal does seem to have jolted Chelsea into life.
Lauren James is the latest to ask questions as she dances her way in field from the right before being brought down by Ceri Holland.
Ève Périsset fires the resulting free kick straight at goalkeeper Faye Kirby.

Liverpool are playing 3-5-2 and holding up the ball well. They'll want to go long now.

Liverpool aren't here to roll over this evening.
They are pressing Chelsea at every opportunity and making it difficult for the hosts to get out of their own half.

We made an assumption that the wide players would be involved and it's the overlapping full-back coming at the back post.
Natasha Dowie does excellently well and she picks out Koivisto who is completely unmarked at the back post.
Chelsea are stunned into silence.
Emma Koivisto

Liverpool come forward down the left and it's Reading loanee Natasha Dowie who flashes the ball across the target for Emma Koivisto to volley home at the far post.

Hope Powell
Former England and Brighton manager on BBC Three
I think Liverpool were poor on Saturday. They were disappointing and Matt Beard was certainly disappointed.
By Liverpool's standards, they were well short. That's why they've made the changes but tonight will be tough.

Off we go....
Chelsea v Liverpool (19:15 BST)
Right, so it's take two.
You'll remember this game initially got under way on 22 January but the game was abandoned after just six minutes as players repeatedly slipped on the frozen pitch.
It's looking much nicer this lovely spring evening as both sets of players make their way on to the pitch.

Chelsea boss Emma Hayes to BBC Three: "I think we did a good performance away in Barcelona so I've kept consistency in the line-up. Today is not the day to freshen up the squad, that will happen.
"We were hopeful Fran Kirby didn't need surgery but last week the decision was made."

Liverpool manager Matt Beard speaking on BBC Three: "At the end of the day we need to react and respond to what happened on Saturday.
"It's good we have a game so quick to get that out of the system."
