it is a fixture that tends to capture imaginations two proud english clubs
who've been very much at the forefront of the success story in recent years
liverpool against chelsea live from anfield and it's next on ea tv
anfield one of the most storied venues anywhere in the football world derek ray here on the
commentary box joined as always by former arsenal and england fullback lee dixon and
it's all about action from the premier league in this case it is liverpool taking on chelsea i'm
excited derek really looking forward to this game come on bring it on 26 andrew robertson
i think you have to feel for any defender charged with the task lee of keeping mo salah quiet he
can be fantastic to watch yeah he scores goals derrick that's what you want from the player
the top end of your pitch get the ball put the ball in the net it's a simple job really
number 10 it's a deal let's take a look at the liverpool starting eleven well there's no great
mystery is there we know normally how they're going to play and it's all about applying as
much pressure as possible lee can we anticipate seeing more of the same today yeah absolutely
derek if you're really good at something then why not they're very good at this all the team
members have bought into this style of play one player slacks off and it all falls apart though
good luck and a look at the chelsea starting eleven that's
the fans are always part of the story here at anfield and they get underway
liverpool couldn't keep it
good movement
and crossing towards the far post very clear who got the last touch
so a corner coming up over it comes and a goal it is no long wait for the opener today
well here's the replay and it's a decent set piece i'm finishing like that with a lovely
headed goal it's absolutely superb well let's have another view of that
goal
well it can be difficult being a manager at times none more so than now
the opening goal of the game then
getting news of a girl in the everton game alan it's a goal for everton eight minutes played
one nil many thanks alan verna possession lost intercepted oh a nice looking pass
disappointing cross and gobbled up by the keeper
corte intense pressure
timo burner possession one
it has gone over the touchline for what will be a throw-in
rice offensive brazilians to shut them down
andrew robertson virgo van dyke henderson
i believe there's been a goal in the wolves game let's hear about it from alan
it's a goal for wolverhampton wanderers 22 minutes played one nil thanks as ever for the update allen
will they be able to play it in behind the defense
and just like that they've lost possession
an incisive pass can he keep his composure it's got to be and it's gone in here
just what chelsea fans wanted to see the lead extended to two goals
well he's gone for pure power and why not when you've got a rocket in your boot what a strike
slightly different vantage point in terms of the goal that was scored
oh to be a fly on the wall in that dressing room if it stays like this
derrick he's not happy just look at him well a second goal for them here
alexander arnold
virgil van dyke here's robertson
roberto firmino it's a good liverpool move in the making alert defending
on to holland
he's had to go for it when's the ball
fabinho henderson
i believe there's been a goal in the spurs game alan macanally can fill us in it's a
goal for brentford 42 minutes played he's in with a chance and this time it's in well the
offside flag has been raised no goal well it was close but he just went a little bit too early
a liverpool free kick coming up well that could be his final rebuke i think and the referees making
that absolutely clear i like that derek good refereeing nice and strong told the player exactly
what he was thinking well we always like a good transfer rumor and this actually appears to be
more than a rumor lee what's your take well derek there's normally no smoke without fire the rumors
have been rife the fans will be excited about that he's a proper player isn't he i'd sign him
no more time left first half is over here at anfield
hasn't quite happened for a sadie or manny has yeah he's had quite a bit of the ball
but he's not done it in the right areas his teammates have got to get the ball to his
feet he needs the right ball in the middle of the danger zone where he comes alive normally
well off and running again and it was a sublime performance
by chelsea in the first half let's see how the second half plays out
well visionary passing he might be able to make it through
surely but it did look dangerous for a moment but the keeper has it now
just a quick reminder we've got champions league group stage action for you to look forward to here
on ea tv it's chelsea facing ren yeah break from league action for players always well it could
be on for him here a goal they're absolutely racing away with this three to the goat now
well here's the replay and what a ball that is to put him through and when he
gets through to the keeper he just smashes it past him gives him no chance to think lovely
finish
well the ball is moving again and there's no getting away from it chelsea are really in the
mood here i understand there's been a goal in the everton match alan mcinally it's a second
goal for west ham united 55 minutes played 2-1 alan mcadaley keeping us right up-to-date
alexander arnold joe gomez henderson has it
tremendous ball played through and a goal to delight the fans just what they were hoping for
well here's the replay and as we see it's a class ball through to split the defense and then the
brute force and gail in equal amount sets up the chance to score and he doesn't disappoint does he
so there it is 3-1 the current score line here
declan rice thiago silva this is aspirin and in one of the other
games the referee i'm hearing has pointed to the sport real chance
z ish oh yes you cannot strike them any better than that brilliant goal
and he had choices of what type of finish to apply and bang he goes for the smash lovely goal
oh to be a fly on the wall in that dressing room if it stays
like this derek he's not happy just look at him
well not too much defending going on in the grand scheme of things 4-1
well it's money moving through the gears
how about the cross
well he's given a corner they referee double substitution time for a change number nine
now the delivery and the keeper acquitted himself well yeah it was a good ball in wasn't it but
the keeper did everything right rhys james a news coming through with a girl on the lead
united match alan mcinally it's a second goal for manchester united 74 minutes clean 2-0 thanks alan
virgil van dyke
well let's make no bones about it this is a thorough thrashing lead well a team
mark for liverpool out of 10 for me five i'm afraid not good enough disjointed no cohesion
work to be done on the training ground that's for sure and the corner for liverpool
and tasked with taking it henderson and there it is a goal but will it be purely a consolation
at the stage of the proceedings they haven't been up the best well here we see it again in
the corner delivery's good and i bet he can't believe the time and space he's got to simply
nod the ball into the net no jump needed too easy so the current scoreline 4-2 number let's get an
update from modern u because there's been a goal there alan mcinally with the details it's a goal
for manchester city it's been scored by harry kane a fine individual effort beating three defenders
nine minutes remain one one thank you macanally they might be on to something well he saw the
whites of the keepers eyes and the whites of his outstretched gloves great goalkeeping well he's
denied a certain goal there great reflexes from the keeper manney and they'll get ready for the
throw-in
milner
inside the final two minutes of this contest
andrew robertson and the referee is going to add on four added minutes four minutes
not giving him a moment's piece
chill well sloppy in possession
alexander arnold
gomez now
so the final whistle and what we can say officially now is that chelsea have picked up
maximum points from this fixture lee your thoughts well derrick as we said this team love a goal fest
and they certainly know where the target is lovely lively build-up and a real
sharp cutting edge to this lot great entertainment really enjoyable
