    When was the last time Moses delivered a decent cross? Zappacosta offers more for me - he's more dynamic.

    Chelsea 1-0 West Ham

    Chelsea have a three-on-three scenario but Alvaro Morata tries to go it alone. He ends up running into two defenders - leaving Willian and Eden Hazard exasperated on either side.

    Chelsea have broken from goalmouth to goalmouth there and no West Ham player has got within 10 yards of the ball, except Declan Rice when he dives to block the shot. It's way too easy for Chelsea.

    Chelsea 1-0 West Ham

    Marcos Alonso gets away down the left and Chelsea have players in numbers in the middle. His low cross is just inches away from Willian and doesn't fall nicely for Alvaro Morata at the back post.

    But Morata then tees up Victor Moses, who comes charging into the box - only for his effort to fly high over the bar and harmlessly into the stands.

    Chelsea 1-0 West Ham

    Eden Hazard really has been excellent in this game. He dribbles with balance and pace - linking up with several players before finding Cesc Fabregas's darting run into the box.

    The Spaniard keeps it in play, just, but his cut-back is gathered in by Joe Hart.

    There's an intensity about the game in this second half so far. Can West Ham maintain it and put pressure on Chelsea?

    West Ham really rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in last week against Southampton, but there hasn't been anywhere near that kind of fight today.

    Marko Arnautovic then has a pop at the other end from the edge of the area but it was never really going to test Thibaut Courtois as he gathers it comfortably into his arms.

    Eden Hazard, Willian and Alvaro Morata are involved this time. But it's all about Hazard and Willian, and on this occasion, Willian just gets his angles wrong with the shot. West Ham didn't do enough to slow Chelsea down then.

    Eden Hazard flicks it onto Willian and the Brazilian has space in the box to shoot. He can't quite get it out of his feet though and his poked effort just trickles wide of Joe Hart's right post.

    Great start by Chelsea!

    You'd hope West Ham realise the importance of this game, but they've offered nothing so far. They've got to have a go, and they've got to support Marko Arnautovic. At the moment they're going down with a whimper - Chelsea are there to get at.

    Well that was quick.

    Just seconds into the restart we see the game's first booking as Mark Noble pulls back Eden Hazard.

    Jay L: So frustrating watching CFC at the moment. We need a hard man striker against packed defences - and we sold him.

    Coolisha: Rudiger shooting from the half way line is the epitome of frustration of Chelsea fans at the front three who are trying to walk the ball in the net.

    Shamsheer: It had to be Azpilicueta for Chelsea, the man with incredible love and passion for the club.

    Chris: As bad as some of the teams at the bottom of the league are West Ham will have to work very hard to go down. They're six points above Southampton and I can't see them getting two more wins than West Ham.

    Chelsea 1-0 West Ham

    West Ham need a goal to get back into this game - and looking at their average positions in the opening half they might need to be a little more adventurous after the restart.

    Chelsea 1-0 West Ham

    Back at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea are well and truly in control of this match but it's not been a thriller.

    Just the one goal separates the two teams and we've had just two shots on target in the game - both from Chelsea.

    Will it get a bit more exciting in the second half?
