43′ Keita was just a bit late and had Jorginho use his foot instead of the ball near the midfield. Free kick for Chelsea.

41′ Chelsea was accused and it was that man – Mason Mount – who started it. Belgium striker Lukaku found no support in the box and in the end, the Liverpool defense cleared the ball.

38′ Great footwork shown by Mount inside his half. He was surrounded by three red shirts but he chose a very good position to find Lukaku.

36′ Throw-in for Liverpool behind a solid defense from Reece James.

33′ If you’re a Liverpool fan, you might not want to read it.

thirty first ‘ And now, Liverpool’s Egyptian goalscorer, Mo Salah, is on the decline. These are not great signs for the Reds, who are fighting for glory domestically as well as in Europe.

29′ The match was stopped when Alisson had to treat his knee. In the next phase, Alonso hit the Liverpool goalkeeper.

27′ SAVE !! Alisson made an excellent save in the face of the Spanish defender. The goalkeeper made a big deal out of himself while hitting a corner with the Chelsea player.

25′ Both of these teams have played more games than most other English clubs. It was Chelsea’s 61st game and Liverpool’s 60th of the season.

23′ YES!!! Chelsea are leading 1-0. Thiago Silva started the attack with a diagonal ball to find Mount, who passed Robertson before cutting the ball from the right to find Pulisic, who was unmarked. However, his shot went wide of Alisson’s post. The Americans should have done better there.

21′ Robertson has a shot from long distance but the ball goes wide of the Chelsea goal.

19′ Mane with a run there could put the ball past Mendy, who defended it by going to the edge of the box and heading the ball wide. However, it looks like he might have been a bit awkward posting that.

17′ SURPRISE! Thiago fouled Kovacic from inside the box, it was a free kick for Chelsea. Alonso takes the free kick, but Brazil’s Alisson makes a brilliant save.

16′ Pulisic missed Alisson’s close-range header but it wouldn’t count as a lead involving a Lukaku handball anyway.

9′ SAVE!!! Diaz is cutting through Chelsea with his dizzying pace here as he beats Chalobah and shoots targets near the right post of Mendy, who already has one foot and Keita’s follow-up wasn’t enough to cause difficult for Chelsea goal.

7′ Breath received things from Liverpool very early. Robertson darted forward from his half but put Diaz over then sent it inside the box but his pass was deflected and away from Salah.

5′ INTO!!! Luis Diaz easily passed James in the Chelsea box and made a tackle but Thiago tried to finish a bit too quickly.

3′ Lukaku tried to overwhelm Konate and had a foul on Alisson in a one-on-one situation but the Liverpool man did a fantastic job.

Romelu Lukaku, Chelsea: The Belgian was back in time and had scored three times in the previous two games to become Tuchel’s preferred striker.

Sadio Mane, Liverpool: Klopp’s side will be looking to capitalize on Mane’s form at striker, with the Senegal international having two goals in Liverpool’s previous two games. He was instrumental in helping the Reds progress to the FA Cup final, scoring a brace against Manchester City at Wembley.

Mane will rely on crosses from another up-and-coming star on his team – Luis Diaz. The Colombian has always been a regular threat on the flanks, with 2 goals and 1 assist in his last 3 games.

MATCH PREFERENCE

Chelsea will chase their last silverware hopes of the season as they play their third consecutive FA Cup final, this time against UEFA Champions League finalists Liverpool on Saturday.

The Blues have lost their last two finals and Thomas Tuchel, their coach, will be looking to make amends this time around. His squad could face a tough task in midfield, with Mateo Kovacic in doubt after picking up an injury in the last game against Leeds United.

Liverpool, on the other hand, have not touched the trophy in over 16 years, having last won it under Rafael Benitez in 2006, with a 3-1 victory on penalties over West Ham United.

Since then, three other coaches, Roy Hogdson, Kenny Dalglish and Brendan Rodgers have left, but all have failed.

Under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool have won the Premier League in 30 years, the Champions League as well as the League Cup this season. The FA Cup was, surprisingly, a silverware that even the German could not secure under his reign.

That is something Klopp will consider changing at Wembley on Saturday. One problem for Klopp will be doubts about Fabinho, who picked up a hamstring injury in Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Aston Villa.

Chelsea will play the FA Cup final for the fifth time in six years, with the aim of winning a ninth title, while Liverpool will finish eighth.
