Chelsea will feel they hold the slight advantage ahead of next Tuesday's second leg at Stamford Bridge but it was only thanks to goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who made a succession of saves as Liverpool pressed for a precious second goal, having 20 attempts on goal to their opponents' two. 

The winners will face either Tottenham Hotspur or third-tier Sheffield United in the English season`s first major final on March 1,2015

 In 11 previous semi-final appearances, Chelsea have reached the final just six times
