    GOOOAAAAALLL CHELSEA!!! The home side are rewarded for their continuous hard work as Eden Hazard is finally allowed into some space and makes Wolves pay for it. He releases an absolute bullet that Rui Patricio is unable to stop!
  • 90'
    Four minutes of added time indicated.
  • 90'
    Hudson-Odoi produces Chelsea's best cross of the game so far but the other substitute, Ruben Loftus-Cheek can't quite jump high enough to power it towards the target.

  • 68'
    Despite taking the lead, Wolves are back to their first-half tactics of sticking tight in defence to deny Chelsea. They're looking a little uncomfortable but their lead prevails so far!

de Wolves en el 56'
  • 56'
    GOOOAAAALLLL WOLVES!!! The visitors take the lead after a swift counter-attack! Diogo Jota lays it off to Jimenez who does just about enough to send the ball over the line after Azpilicueta slides in for the challenge! Great start to the second half!
  • 50'
    Doherty grabs Hazard's arm and brings him to the floor, Michael Oliver gives a free-kick as it happened millimetres outside the box. David Luiz takes it but it deflects off the wall and out of play.
  • 45'
    And we're back underway for what we hope will be a more exciting second-half!
  • 45'
    HT: Chelsea 0-0 Wolves. Well, thank god for half-time! It's safe to say that that was 45 minutes of football that nobody will remember. Chelsea dominating possession but unable to break through an airtight Wolves defence. Join us in praying for a more exciting second-half!
  • 45'
    One added minute at the end of this less-than-memorable first-half.
  • 44'
    Given this is a Premier League match between the sides sat in sixth and seventh, it's a rather boring encounter so far... will the second-half offer anything more?
  • 41'
    Diogo was almost through for Wolves but for his lack of ball control resulting in a handball and Chelsea reclaimed possession in their own half.

  • 37'
    Doherty is the first to go into the referee's book for his challenge on Eden Hazard.
  • 34'
    Kovacic attempts to release Hazard but the pass is just too heavy and Wolves can let it go for a goal-kick.
  • 32'
    More of the same from Chelsea as they continue to try and pass their way through, or around for that matter, the Wolves defensive line. It's a waiting game at Stamford Bridge...
  • 27'
    Chelsea have had a couple of penalty shouts after possible handballs in the box but neither were convincing enough for the referee to intervene.
  • 26'
    Higuain's effort ended up wide and the two Wolves defenders look to be alright.
  • 25'
    Saiss and Coady collide with each other after both attempting to clear the danger in their box as Higuain approached.
  • 21'
    Instead of trying to break through Wolves' defence, Chelsea try to go over the top of it but Matt Doherty is there with a clearing header.
  • 17'
    Despite their relentless attempts, Chelsea cannot find their way through Wolves' compact defence. There is no space for Hazard to break into space and do what he does best.
  • 15'
    Still Chelsea with all the possession as Pedro attempts an ambitious volley.
  • 12'
    Higuain posts Chelsea's first real sight of goal after Pedro's pass but his shot is deflected behind after Saiss' block.
  • 10'
    Finally Wolves manage to advance out of their own half! Nothing comes of it but it's a positive move!
  • 9'
    It looks like Wolves' tactic is to smother Chelsea in attack. It's working so far to be fair.
  • 7'
    Chelsea starting to build pressure as the ball has hardly left Wolves' half in the last few minutes. The visitors are doing well so far to keep Chelsea at bay and the home side will have to be patient and keep testing Wolves' defence.
  • 4'
    Possession being shared fairly equally at the start of this afternoon's encounter from a sunny Stamford Bridge.
  • 3'
    Kovacic has an early attempt on goal but Neves charges it down well.
  • 1'
    Michael Oliver blows his whistle as action gets underway at Stamford Bridge!
