    Chelsea 0-0 Southampton

    Southampton have woken up!

    Mario Lemina forces Willy Caballero into his first save of the day.

    It's a tame, low effort from distance but it's a start.

    It has been a really tentative start from Southampton, no real confidence, they just want to stay in this game. When they get a chance they have to take it.

    Wow!

    Cesc Fabregas has played 30 passes so far - 19 more than any Southampton player.

    Chelsea 0-0 Southampton

    I've just noticed there's a considerable number of empty seats in the Southampton end.

    Why?

    There's a few in the Chelsea end too.

    Nevertheless it's a cracking atmosphere at Wembley. Noise, noise, noise...

    Chelsea 0-0 Southampton

    Alex McCarthy has the ball at his feet. The Southampton goalkeeper is in no rush to get rid of it as he looks to disrupt Chelsea's flow.

    The Blues are breaking at will. Surely it's only a matter of time before they score.

    Chelsea 0-0 Southampton

    Southampton have not turned up.

    They're giving the ball away and making silly fouls.

    Chelsea win a free-kick just outside the Saints penalty area. Willian likes the look of this.

    Here he comes...it lands on the roof of the net.

    It's a really strong start by Chelsea.

    Southampton are camped inside their own half.

    There's a moment of respite before Shane Long gives away the ball.

    They have so much pace in this Chelsea side, they are set up to counter. Eden Hazard drives through the middle, spots Willian who cuts back onto his left and unfortunately hits the crossbar, Alex McCarthy wasn't saving that one.

    Chelsea 0-0 Southampton

    Chelsea are well up for this!

    Eden Hazard has made an excellent start and he drives through the middle before releasing Willian who sends a delicious curling shot towards the Southampton net.

    It crashes against the bar.

    Charlie Austin seems to be playing in a deeper role, with Shane Long up top looking to be the one to stretch the Chelsea back line. I am not sure about Austin in that role, he likes to be up on the shoulder of the defender.

    Chelsea 0-0 Southampton

    First shot in anger...and it's just over the bar from Eden Hazard who lets fly from outside the area.

    Southampton respond quickly as Charlie Austin sends a snap shot just wide.

    Frantic, helter-skelter start, long balls pumped into both penalty areas. It's 100mph stuff but both teams are yet to settle.

  17. 'Conte right to play Giroud'published at 14:57 British Summer Time 22 April 2018

    I am surprised Arsenal let Giroud go. He has been a fantastic at Chelsea, a different type of striker, his link up play is very underrated.

    The issue at Chelsea is Antonio Conte has been indecisive about who to play. Giroud gets the nod and I think that has been the right decision.

    IPOBWarrior: As hopeless as Morata is, I still prefer him in a two man attack with Giroud.
