    FT: Chelsea 1-0 Newcastle!! All over at the Bridge and Havertz's 89th minute goal gives Tuchel's side the points. However, Newcastle put up a great fight and deserved a draw from it. They'll be far from happy with the refereeing as Havertz should've been sent off before HT for an elbow on Burn and then the Magpies should've had a pen in the second half after Chalobah fouled Murphy. Thanks for joining us and see you now for Arsenal v Leicester!
  • 93'
    Havertz denied by the GK and the bar!! Kante gives to the German, he gets into the box and shoots, Dubravka gets hands to it, the ball goes in the air and it strikes the bar.

    Rudiger sees yellow.
  • 91'
    Four extra minutes!
  • 90'
    That's what great teams do, but I think a draw would be fair and Havertz shouldn't even be on the pitch.

Goaaaaaal!
de Chelsea en el 89'
  • 89'
    Havertz puts Chelsea ahead at the death! And now Newcastle won't be happy!! Jorginho plays a terrific pass to Havertz in the box, who controls the ball beautifully and then beats Dubravka, but should the German be on the pitch?

  • 87'
    Kovacic is cautioned for a foul on Guimaraes.

    Schar!!! The Swiss gets his head to the ball, but it's easy for Mendy.
  • 84'
    Chelsea go forward and Kante has a foul given against him.

    Guimaraes has his name taken for a clear foul on Kovacic. Cynical.

    Newcastle have a pop which goes wide now.
  • 76'
    Havertz! Ziyech's cross finds Havertz and his header is caught by Dubravka.
  • 76'
    I think this will end 0-0.

    Newcastle get the ball clear and then win a free-kick.

    Still 0-0 here, but this could still go either way!

  • 63'
    Chelsea double sub: Werner is replaced by Lukaku and Kovacic is on for Mount.
  • 62'
    Kante picks out Werner and Dubravka clearly trips him and the officials give offside! It's very close, but I think it's just offside.
  • 60'
    And another foul by Chelsea near the box.
  • 59'
    Seeing it again, Murphy should've had a pen as that was a clear shirt pull on Murphy. Newcastle should have a penalty and be a man up, but the inexperienced John Brooks decided not to correct his colleague on both occasions.
Card

Yellow card

a Chelsea
  • 58'
    Ziyech fouls Guimaraes and is deservedly booked. That's a stupid tackle and a fight breaks out.
  • 57'
    Murphy wants a penalty after contact by Chalobah, but the ref says corner!! Chalobah takes a chance there! There's a shirt pull and some lower body contact and that's really an on-field call. Had it been given, it wouldn't have been reversed.
  • 54'
    Corner for Chelsea, their seventh.
  • 53'
    Kante makes a run into Newcastle's half, he gives to Ziyech, whose shot is then blocked by Burn.
  • 52'
    Mount is penalised for a handball after feeling he is fouled.
Card

a Newcastle
  • 50'
    Murphy is booked for a pull-back.
  • 48'
    Chelsea have a bit of ball now.
  • 46'
    Guimaraes!!! The ball is thrown to Guimaraes and he hits just wide of the post! It should've been a corner as Mendy got fingers to it.
  • 46'
    Newcastle get us going again!
  • 45'
    HT: Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle! Half-time at the Bridge and a draw is fair. The hosts started better and had a chance through Christensen, but Newcastle picked up. Almiron forced a great save right on HT while Chelsea should be with 10 men as Havertz got just a yellow despite elbowing Burn in the face, leaving him with a very visible lump. Back shortly!
  • 45'
    45+2: Almiron!!! The set piece is only half-cleared and Almiron's volley from distance is saved by Mendy to his left! The first shot on target!
  • 45'
    45+1: Free-kick to Newcastle on the far side.
  • 45'
    Two added minutes.
  • 44'
    Chelsea get themselves a corner.
  • 43'
    Newcastle attack and Chelsea get it away.
  • 40'
    Burn is furious with Havertz after getting treatment and Coote has to calm him down. He has a lump above his right eye. VAR says just a yellow, but that's a red for me.
Card

Yellow card

a Chelsea
  • 39'
    Havertz catches Burn in the face and it's a fully deserved booking. In fact, it's an elbow and this could be a red. It's very naughty.
  • 38'
    Chelsea win a free-kick in their own half for a foul on Ziyech. Targett felt he won the ball.
  • 38'
    Still goalless here and I think that's how it will be until the break.
  • 34'
    Burn!!! Rudiger only half clears the corner and Targett's ball back into the area is headed just wide by Burn!
  • 33'
    Corner for Eddie Howe's men.
  • 33'
    The ball strikes David Coote and Newcastle get the ball back.
  • 31'
    Mount goes for a goal and he hits the sidenetting!
  • 30'
    Havertz puts a ball across the box, but there's no one there and Ziyech gets a free-kick on the far touchline.
  • 29'
    Chelsea go forward and Werner's effort goes for a corner after deflecting off a defender.
  • 27'
    Chelsea earn a corner, but Mount hits over.
  • 26'
    Targett's free-kick finds Schar at the back stick, he looks to square for a teammate in the 6 and Mendy gets there first.
  • 25'
    Kante fouls Guimaraes and Newcastle have a free-kick 25-30 yards out.
  • 21'
    Chelsea are having some ball, but it's been quiet after the first five minutes.
  • 19'
    Murphy has a pop at goal, but the effort goes well wide.
  • 18'
    A ball is played for Havertz, but Schar shields the ball out for a goal kick.

    Chelsea have not been as dangerous in the last five minutes or so.
  • 13'
    Murphy is fouled and it's a free-kick to the Magpies.
  • 11'
    Rudiger puts a ball into the box and it's cleared.
  • 9'
    Newcastle try and go forward, but it comes to nothing.
  • 8'
    Havertz is fouled in his own half.
  • 7'
    Newcastle send a long ball forward to Almiron and the flag is up.
  • 4'
    Rudiger gets his head to the corner and it goes out for another corner.
  • 4'
    Chelsea win themselves a corner here.
  • 3'
    Chelsea make a lovely run down the middle through Mount, but the pass to Werner doesn't reach its intended target.
  • 2'
    Christensen!!! The Dane goes for goal from 25 yards and it flies just over the bar!
  • 1'
    Lascelles commits the first foul of the game at midfield.

    Chelsea get us going in the blue from left to right while Newcastle are in the black and white!

    The players come out here at the Bridge!
  • PRVW
    The build up to the match has been dominated by the sanctions imposed on Abramovich. He cannot sell Chelsea and the club cannot renew contracts or sign new players. In fact, only season ticket holders or people who have already bought tickets for a game can go to Stamford Bridge.
  • PRVW
    Chelsea also make four alterations from the 1-3 victory away to Norwich last Thursday. Rudiger, Sarr, Kante and Ziyech are in while T Silva, Saul, Kovacic and Azpi are out.
  • PRVW
    A reminder that Chelsea have a Champions League last 16 second leg game away to Lille on Wednesday. The Blues won the first game 2-0 while Newcastle are away to Everton on Thursday in a rearranged Premier League game.
  • PRVW
    Newcastle make four changes from Thursday's 1-2 win at Southampton. Almiron, Lascelles, Manquillo and Sean Longstaff come in for Shelvey, Willock (both ill), Krafth and Fraser. Almiron's last start came in the 0-4 defeat to Man City back on 19th December.
  • PRVW
    David Coote is the referee while John Brooks is the VAR.

    It's 11 degrees and raining in West London for this one. This is one of five Premier League games starting at 15:00 CET.
