A good opportunity for Tottenham now with a free-kick on the right of the box...

Just under 10 minutes to go until the break and Ange Postecoglou will probably be happy to get in at the break with the current scoreline and try to regroup. They've been second best.

Tottenham haven't had a shot on goal since the sixth minute and Ange Postecoglou looks far from happy as he shouts instructions from the touchline.

Defending set-pieces is a real problem for Tottenham. Four of the last five Premier League goals they have conceded have come from them.

Chelsea fans are now chanting "stand up if you hate Tottenham". They are having a grand old time as Mykhailo Mudryk bends an effort just wide of the top corner.

The way this is going it could be another 4-1 to the Blues.

If Tottenham are not careful they will concede a second soon. Their defence is all over the place as Mykhailo Mudryk charge into the box, but his square ball takes a slight deflection but enough for Guglielmo Vicario to gather it first.

Chelsea fans were probably just getting a bit nervous there, but the goal stands!

Chelsea lead 1-0.

Chelsea 1-0 Tottenham

This is a long check, was Brennan Johnson blocked off by Marc Cucurella?

Chelsea go direct as Mykhailo Mudryk arrows a great ball out wide to Noni Madueke, who cuts inside and then drives a decent effort just over.

Thiago Silva who is ruled out with injury this evening, stands up behind the Chelsea bench to wave to the fans as they sing his name. He announced that he will be leaving the club at the end of the season earlier this week.

First real sight of a Tottenham threat as Djordje Petrovic makes a crucial intervention to get a hand to a dangerous cross with Richarlison lurking.

Chelsea keep up the pressure as Alfie Gilchrist hammers a first-time effort over from a cut back inside the Tottenham box.

Micky van de Ven has done more cleaning up than one of those nifty little robot vacuum cleaners as he takes advantage of Marc Cucurella's heavy touch inside the box to thump the ball behind for a corner.

Guglielmo Vicario gets lucky as he pushes the first delivery into the packed box, but the ball deflects behind for another corner that comes to nothing.

Tottenham have pretty much every player back defending their box as Chelsea pass the ball about, looking for an opening. It has been a good start by the hosts, but they need to make it count.

Here come Chelsea again as Moises Caicedo tries to find Nicolas Jackson inside the box but his cross is cut out by Cristian Romero.

Tottenham then think they should have a penalty as Emerson Royal goes down inside the box after a challenge by Noni Madueke, but he went down very easily and nothing is given.

Only Erling Haaland (30) and Darwin Nunez (26) have missed more big chances than Nicolas Jackson in the Premier League this season (22 - 24% conversion rate from big chances).
