CHELSEA (3-4-3)
Edouard Mendy: Produced some big saves as Liverpool threatened to steamroll Chelsea - but none bigger than his stop from Mane in the shoot-out. 8

Marcos Alonso: An unlikely goal threat but the Spaniard missed two golden opportunities for his team before rattling the bar with a wicked free kick. 7
