Have opened a rainy night here. I’m Derek Ray, and keeping me company in the commentary box today is, of course, Stewart Robson, and very much looking forward to bringing you action mission from the Premier League. It is Liverpool taking on Chelsea. Thanks, Derek, as always. This should be a good game. Great atmosphere inside the state. And we got two teams full of quality, some interesting matchups and two coaches that want to play an attractive brand of football.
What more could you ask for? Let’s take a look at the Liverpool starting 11. Alisson gets the nod in goal. Andrew Robertson starts with Trent Alexander Arnold in the fallback positions. Tiago starts alongside Fabino in the center of midfield. And a miss tactical setup they have just the one player in attack must take the lead here. That’s a fairly easy say for any keeper to make. And a look at the Chelsea starting 11. Kappa stands between the posts. Tiago Silva plays alongside Cuddy do, Kuli Bali and central defense Matio Kovacich starts alongside Denny Sakahia in the center of midfield. And rather than use a strike partnership, they’ve gone with just the one player in attack.
Well, most Sana knows how to light up any game, I think it’s fair to say. Stewart, well, he’s such a natural finisher. He has everything. A good goal score and needs composure, technique and awareness. He will certainly need to be tightly marked. Today, Havis is with Hakim Ziash Zakaria and here Z ash habits and male fee. Will they deserve it?
Well, just look at his movement. He knows exactly how to find space. And it’s also a tidy finish. That’s a nice goal.
And Liverpool get the ball moving again, looking to find a reply to that setback. Mosala noon. Yes, another effective shielding under pressure. It’s a good Liverpool move in the making. This is Tiago. Let’s go square the game. Sound piece of goalkeeping.
Zakaria, here’s cover. Change mouse. How about no chance? A smart stop here in a short corner. Let’s see. Zakaria Kenny make account. Well, the challenge was clean, but the danger not clear. Not a huge chunk about a time, one minute, the first half here comes to an end. Certainly have got to get this man high marks for his work up to this point.
Stewart. Well, I thought he had a really effective first half. Not only did he get the goal that gave him the lead, but his general play was really good. He was a constant threat. And I’m sure we see more of him in the second half. It should be a match to look forward to. Chelsea get it underway.
