Evening all, and here we are again for what is a rather large game. If Chelsea win, it'll look even blacker for the chasing pack; if Liverpool lose, well, dearie me. On the other hand, if Chelsea lose and Spurs and don't, well, here we go; if Liverpool win, it might just save their season.

Anyway, thanks all for your company - night.

That's a pretty nifty result for Chelsea, all the more so given results elsewhere. And it's not bad for Liverpool in a way, given they were behind, needed to save a penalty, and had lost their last three home games. Chelsea still lead Spurs by eight points; Liverpool extend their lead over Manchester city to three points and Manchester United to five points, but both those sides play tomorrow.

Full-time: Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea

"You'd expect him to score those sort of penalties," says McManaman of Costa. Er, ok.

Quick Michy, it's your big chance! Batshuayi replaces Costa.

Mane flips a cross into the box, AND FIRMINO IS IN FRONT OF GOAL, SIX YARDS OUT! But rather than head down, he nods straight, and Courtois collects easily one he should've got nowhere near.

Lallana goes off; Origi comes on.

There shall be three added minutes.

Lovely from Kante, backheeling to himself wide on the left and sweeping a pass into Pedro, who swipes a low shot from around the edge of the box that worries Mignolet. He still saves it, but.

Lovely from Fabregas, picking up possession outside the Liverpool box and easing a square ball into Pedro. He miscontrols, but still transfers it into his stride; he's just about to shoot, when Henderson slides in to perform a superb and goal-saving tackle.

Lovely control from Costa, back to goal, Mark Hughes-style, and he turns left, away from Matip, and skirts around the Liverpool back-four, none of whom are interested in risking another penalty. so he swivels into a cross-shot, which skids into the hands of Mignolet.

A long, slow period of Chelsea possession before, eventually, they hit Costa, who wins a thrown deep in the Liverpool half. It comes to nothing.

And in a way this change suggests as much, Fabregas replacing Willian. Of course, he's still a dangerous passer and finisher, but also adept at keeping the ball.

Looks like Chelsea will accept a point.

Mane gets down the line for the first time tonight and crosses, but it's easy for Courtois to collect.

The rest of tonight's games are in the books.

Arsenal 1-2 Watford

Swansea 2-1 Southampton

Burnley 1-0 Leicester

Bournemouth 0-2 Palace

Boro 1-1 West Brom - Negredo levels after Morrison opener

Sunderland 0-0 Spurs

"I just get the feeling that was Chelsea's chance, the penalty." Cheers, Glenn.

Willian is booked for something or other.
