Give your Liverpool player ratings for 1-1 draw against Chelsea

Liverpool were unable to capitalise on Chelsea's first-half red card as Jurgen Klopp's men drew 1-1 with Thomas Tuchel's side.

The first half ended frantically with a sending off, a Reds penalty and even a heated exchange between the two sides.

The Londoners led through Kai Havertz’s opener on 22 minutes but defender Reece James was shown red having handled the ball after Sadio Mane raced in to poke it goalwards.

After a VAR review, Anthony Taylor awarded Liverpool a penalty in added time of the first period - which Mohamed Salah calmly converted.

Despite playing against 10 men in the second half, the Reds couldn't find a way to break Chelsea down and were unable to find a winner.

The starting line-up saw full-back Andy Robertson return after an injury he suffered in pre-season, with another start for Harvey Elliott and Roberto Firmino leading the line - yet, the Brazilian was replaced by Diogo Jota after suffering, as confirmed by Klopp after the final whistle, a suspected hamstring injury.

And a packed-out Anfield saw the Reds remain joint-top of the Premier League table, level on points with today's opposition.
