PENALTIES LOOM!
Just seven minutes left of extra time to play here!
Chelsea get forward again, this time with Loftus-Cheek down the right, and he is in space, and onside. He crosses into the box for Alonso at the far post, but he cannot get his head onto it.

POTENTIAL WORRY AGAIN FOR LIVERPOOL?
Andy Robertson looks like he is cramping up, and Kostas Tsimikas is warming up on the touchline for Liverpool.

ANOTHER PENALTY SHOUT?
This one looks really soft. James whips in a cross from the right byline towards the far post, but Ziyech goes down after a tangle with Alexander-Arnold, but there is not much in that.

HALF-TIME IN EXTRA TIME: CHELSEA 0-0 LIVERPOOL
It is still goalless here as it seems more and more likely that we could head for a penalty shootout!

SAVED!
Alexander-Arnold's corner from the right-hand side is punched away by Mendy and that is the end of the first period of extra time.

BRILLIANT DEFENDING
Alexander-Arnold gets in the way again following a cross towards Pulisic in the box by Ziyech. The ball goes out for a Chelsea corner.

OVER!

LIVERPOOL CHANGE
Luis Diaz is replaced by Roberto Firmino. He will feel hard done by as he has by far been Liverpool's best player on the pitch.
Jurgen Klopp may have done that just to preserve him for future games.

PENALTY SHOUT?
Clumsy from Konate, as he brings down Ziyech in the box with a slight nudge following Alonso's low cross from the left flank.
Craig Pawson immediately shakes his head and the incident is not referred to VAR.
94'
KANTE DOING WHAT HE DOES BEST
Liverpool break following a Chelsea corner, as Jota plays in Diaz on the right flank, who has the space of Wembley to operate. However, Kante does brilliantly to sprint back and nick the ball off the Colombian before any danger arrives.

ANOTHER BIG CHANCE FOR DIAZ!
What a chance for Diaz yet again!
He makes a brilliant run again down the centre towards the box, with Thiago Silva on his heels. He then checks back to cut inside onto his favoured right foot, which gives him a yard to try and strike one towards the far corner, but it once again goes narrowly wide of the post!
87'
NOT A CLEAN HEADER!
Liverpool have a free-kick from around 35-yards out, which Alexander-Arnold delivers towards the back post. Van Dijk is rises highest to meet it with his head, but he gets the connection all wrong, and it goes out for a Chelsea goal-kick.
