Follow Daily Mail Sport's live coverage for the latest updates as Liverpool host Chelsea in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, plus updates from Manchester City's clash with Brighton and three more cup ties. Goal:Man City 2-2 Brighton (Cherki 72')Another challenge right on the very edge of the box. Rutter gives it away, tripping Foden about 20 yards out. He wants a penalty, going flying into the area, but it will be a free-kick.Cherki takes... IN! CITY ARE LEVEL!It was a costly foul close to goal and Cherki went for power with the free-kick. I think Steele had it covered, but Reis got a foot on it and re-directed. It will be the defender's goal.A little over 15 minutes to find a winner now!Man City 1-2 BrightonAlmost a lovely goal, that, following good play from the likes of Doku and O'Reilly. Brighton stand firm, though, as they start to drop back a bit.Cherki can work his magic when he gets on the ball in central areas, and he feeds Lewis in the box, but his effort is poor. That said, no one is helping him in the box.That's not far wide! Cherki is showing fantastic feet in the box after good work from Doku, and his effort is deflected off Costinha for a corner..That, though, is wasted.Man City 1-2 BrightonA good chance for City this time and Doku is involved right away. The ball is dragged back from the left, and Yalcouye just gets to it before a sky blue shirt.Oh, he is causing all sorts of problems. Gets the better of Svoboda this time and his pass is dangerous too before Brighton clear.Blimey, where is Rulli going?! Hinshelwood this time hits the byline on the left and the goalkeeper rushes out again. He chips into the box but, fortunately for the City man, a home head meets it first.'Araujo is a madman'Lewis Steele at Anfield:If you're at the game, it's worth just watching Ronald Araujo for a minute. The bloke is a madman. One minute he's on the floor in his own half praying, the next he's charging into the box trying to score.GREAT CHANCE! Man City 1-2 BrightonRutter should do better to make it three!Brighton are all over City here. And it should be another for them.Rutter make a great run down the right and Rulli is in no man's land. Rutter goes round him, but, rather than cutting it back, shoots from an awkward angle and it's into the side netting.Doku is on for City, meanwhile. Allan makes way.HALF-TIME: Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea All square at the break.What had been one of the dullest games I have come into life sprung to life just before the half-time whistle.Two stonewall penalties, both finished expertly, and we have a game on our hands here at Anfield.Much more fun to come, I now suspect.SAVE! Man City 1-2 BrightonRutter has been so good today. He gets the better of Guehi, who is left scrambling, and the England defender has to get back to concede a corner.Boscagli crosses. It's behind for another. Reis, I think it was.Gross comes across to take this one. It's headed out, then volleyed wide by Boscagli.CLOSE! A great save from Rulli after more fantastic play by Brighton. Rutter is again central to it and looks to bend one into the far corner with his left, but the City goalkeeper pulls out a truly fantastic side to almost keep his team alive!Two corners are dealt with.SUBSTITUTION: Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea Oh no.Maxence Lacroix looks like he has pulled his hamstring and will play no further part in this tie.Xabi Alonso is forced to turn to the out-of-form Levi Colwill, who races on to replace him.Not ideal.CHANCE! Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea Liverpool have come alive!Cody Gakpo is on one now and he looks for second in double quick time with a brilliant strike.The Dutchman drives forwards and then stings the palms of Mike Penders from distance.Anfield is rocking now.Goal:Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea (Gakpo PEN 43')LIVERPOOL ARE LEVEL!The Reds weren't behind for very long, Cody Gakpo buries his spot kick into the bottom corner.The tale of two penalties at Anfield has brought this game to life at last; what a joy.Game on.PENALTY TO LIVERPOOL!Oh my word!Liverpool have the chance to hit straight back, they have a penalty of their own.Wesley Fofana handles the ball in the box and that may be even more stonewall than the last.Cody Gakpo has the chance to level.'Gravenberch did not need to make the foul'Lewis Steele at Anfield:It's 1-0 to Chelsea and the away end has gone wild. Liverpool are aggrieved but not because of the awarding of the penalty, mainly because Ryan Gravenberch did not need to commit the foul. Moises Caicedo was going nowhere.
