The full-time whistle goes at Anfield, and Liverpool have thrashed an off-colour Chelsea 4-1 courtesy of goals from Henderson, Agger, Shelvey and an own goal from Essien. Ramires grabbed one back for Chelsea and Downing missed a penalty. Di Matteo's side suffer a big blow to their hopes of grabbing fourth spot, and Liverpool are left to celebrate a fine win. Thanks for joining us.
90+2'
Agger heads wide of the far post as he dives to meet a cross from Carroll, and that is another reprieve for Chelsea.
90+1'
Liverpool break down the right through Sterling, and he is lightning quick as he finds Suarez, who wins a corner.

There will be three added minutes at the end of this second half as Carroll is named the official man-of-the-match. Do you agree with that?
89'
Kuyt forces his way down the right and combines with Suarez, but it results in the latter slicing a shot narrowly wide of the near post!
87'
Lukaku takes the ball down the right for Chelsea, but he lacks support and invention from the byline.
86'
Henderson drives a low shot wide of the near post, and Chelsea are really under the cosh in the final stages of this match.
85'
Lukaku continues to work exceptionally hard in attack for Chelsea, despite missing that chance.
84'
Sterling immediately gets in with yards of space, but he volleys wide on his left foot. What an impact that would have been!

Raheem Sterling also comes on as Downing is withdrawn. His wait for a goal goes on after that missed penalty.

Maxi Rodriguez waves goodbye to the Liverpool fans as he is subbed off, with Dirk Kuyt coming on in his place. He will seek pastures new in the summer.
81'
Dalglish looks poised to make a string of subs now as he has all of his replacements warming up.
80'
Skrtel fouls Torres 25 yards out, and Chelsea have another free kick which Malouda and Essien stand over...
79'
Suarez stands over a free kick on the edge of the Chelsea box, but his effort is blocked by the wall.
78'
Malouda fires a stray shot wide of the target in what is a rather speculative effort, and Chelsea are losing all hope here.
77'
Torres wins a free kick for Chelsea as he takes a long ball down in his stride and is fouled by Maxi, but the resulting set piece is wasted.
76'
Chelsea continue to stroke the ball around at the back, but the visitors are perhaps keen to just ensure that they do not concede further goals at the back with this scoreline.
75'
Carroll is left with few options outwide on the left, but he hooks a speculative effort agonisingly over the crossbar - what a fine attempt!

CHANCE! Lukaku heads on target from close range, and it's a clear-cut chance for the striker after a fine cross from Malouda, but Reina makes a fine reflex save!
