Match Report

Adrian saved from Tammy Abraham as Liverpool beat Chelsea 5-4 on penalties to win the first all-English UEFA Super Cup following a 2-2 draw in Istanbul.

Olivier Giroud gave Frank Lampard's side a deserved first-half lead on Wednesday, but the introduction of Roberto Firmino as a half-time substitute changed the game for the Reds.

Firmino quickly set up Mane for the equaliser and, in the first period of extra time, the Senegal star smashed home from his team-mate's pass again before Jorginho equalised from the penalty spot.

But it was the European champions who triumphed in the shoot-out, Alisson's deputy Adrian denying Abraham with his right leg to secure victory for Jurgen Klopp's side.

Preamble

We are minutes away from kick-off! Who will win this glorious trophy tonight? 

Former Blues assistant coach Gianfranco Zola has joined us in the studio! He thinks Chelsea have selected a balanced side! 

Our Twitter followers have spoken, and most of you are backing Liverpool for glory tonight! 

Now for Chelsea! Frank Lampard has made three changes and gone for a more experienced team. Oliver Giroud, N'Golo Kante and Christian Pulisic are the changes from the side that lost to Manchester United. 

TEAM NEWS KLAXON! Liverpool first up! Four changes to the side that eased past Norwich in the opening game of the season. Sadio Mane, Alexander Oxlade-Chamberlin, Joe Gomez and James Milner come into the team. Naby Keita is out with a thigh injury. 

Chelsea fans out in force tonight! Frank Lampard will be hoping for a much-improved performance from his side! 

Mohamed Salah, just being Mohamed Salah. Team news incoming! 

Whilst in another first, French referee Stéphanie Frappart will become the first female to officiate a men's final. Widely considered to be one of the best referees in the game today, Frappart oversaw the Women's World Cup final in the summer and has previously taken charge of Ligue 1 games. 

Believe it or not, this is the first time that two English sides will take part in the final. Which is nice! 

Liverpool has plenty of fond memories of playing in Istanbul... 

Chelsea will be looking to bounce back from a disastrous 4-0 defeat to Machester United. I wonder if Frank Lampard will keep faith with some of the youngsters he blooded at the weekend...
