Mount's low shot is parried by Adrian.

Pedro scampers into space and strikes just wide of the post.

Good save by Adrian to thwart Mount's drive following Abraham's pass.

Two minutes to be played at the end of the first half of extra-time.

Adrian saves Abraham's close-range shot.

Gomez drives forward and has an effort deflected into the gloves of Kepa.

He's operating at left-back following Robertson's departure.

Two minutes of additional time to be played in Istanbul at the end of the 90...

Zouma heads over from a corner.

Chelsea enjoying a late spell of pressure, here. As it stands, we're heading for extra-time.

Mane slides agonisingly across the face of goal from Salah's pass... but he was flagged offside anyway.

Chelsea open up Liverpool, but Pedro's shot from Kante's pull-back is blocked by Van Dijk.

Salah's shot from the free-kick is deflected over the bar by the head of Abraham in the wall.

Off the bar!

Wijnaldum tees up Salah for a clear shot in the box following a corner routine from Henderson. The Egyptian's effort is parried by Kepa after deflecting off Christensen. The Chelsea goalkeeper then recovers to tip Van Dijk's follow-up onto the crossbar.

So close for Liverpool.

Pedro picks out Pulisic's run towards the edge of the area; however, Gomez blocks the former Borussia Dortmund man's shot.

First-half stats, provided by Opta...

Adrian produces a fine - and crucial - stop at the feet of Kovacic after Pedro had slid him in.

Mane plants a firm downward header goalwards from a Milner corner. It's too close to Kepa, though.

Van Dijk meets a Milner corner ahead of Kepa, though he loops it over the crossbar.

Pulisic sweeps a low ball across Liverpool's six-yard box, but there's no Chelsea shirt there to tuck it home.

Giroud is foiled by Adrian after a break sends him clean through... but he'd have been flagged offside had he scored, anyway.

Giroud hoists an overhead kick well wide of goal. Bit ambitious from the Chelsea forward, but the Blues enjoying a good spell here.

Off the bar

Pedro scampers into space on the right of Liverpool's box and cracks an effort against the crossbar from an angle.

Robertson produces a fantastic challenge to nudge out Pedro after Kovacic had attempted to play him clean through on goal with a pass from deep.

Chance!

The Blues break and Giroud drags a low effort well wide of Adrian's far post.

Christensen cuts out Henderson's attempted ball to the unmarked Mane in the six-yard box. Important interception for Chelsea, that.

Pedro cuts in from the left and bends one towards the bottom corner, but it's wide of the post.

The ball breaks invitingly for Fabinho inside the box from a free-kick, but his attempt to drive it into the centre left-footed is cut out by Kepa's gloves.

Mane has a go with a spectacular overhead kick from Henderson's cross. It hits the arms of Christensen but the referee isn't interested in the penalty appeals.

Important challenge from Matip inside the box to prevent Pulisic getting a clear shot in after a quickly taken free-kick into his path by Jorginho.

Here come the teams - and the Champions League and UEFA Cup trophies with them...

And now it's time for the opening ceremony...

Naby Keita fitness latest

Keita will miss tonight’s clash due to a muscle strain.

The muscle strain occurred around the hip area and Keita will be assessed further by the Reds’ medical team in the coming days.

The stage?

It's set.

Rule reminder

Remember that extra-time will be played tonight if scores are level after 90 minutes and potentially a penalty shootout afterwards.

Did you know?

Liverpool have made five previous appearances in the UEFA Super Cup, though it should have been six.

However, fixture congestion meant their 1981 tie with Dinamo Tbilisi could not be scheduled.

The gaffer's view

We sat down with Jürgen Klopp ahead of the Super Cup final and the boss gave his thoughts on what to expect from Chelsea under new boss Frank Lampard.

"I think Frank showed last year with Derby that he's a very, very, very good manager because he changed Derby pretty much overnight," he said.

"I didn't know Derby too well but what I heard about it and when I saw them playing last year, especially against United if you want, it was: 'What a game!'

"So, proper football, really high intensity, all that stuff, it's all there, what you need. Good defending [and] high defending, so it will be a challenge. It will be a really interesting game and for us a proper job to do."

"It's a chance to start the season well with another European title. It'll be a good fixture against a team that we, of course, have been competing against for titles domestically as well in England.

"I think [winning] it would give us more confidence. Every time you win a title, your name goes down once again in the club's history. Of course, with the team that we have, our mentality and ambition is to win.

"So we're going to compete for this title. I think it will help our confidence greatly."
