Alan Frank: Sarri needs to look at the lack of contribution from Barkley and give Ruben Loftus Cheek the nod at h/t

N'Golo Kante has gone a bit early. This is his fourth season in the Premier League.

He has scored a single goal in each of the other three.

Going to be a long wait for his next one if he maintains that record.

So, so close to an immediate equaliser. Aaron Mooy's corner from the right wing is flicked on at the near post and finds Steve Mounie and he heads against the left upright from 10 yards out. A lucky let off for the visitors, who still lead 1-0.

A corner for Huddersfield, their first.

Rubbish. Willian's corner is hit towards the back post, but there is no Chelsea man there and Ben Hamer, springing backwards, shows some good handling to catch it above his head.

Ah, here we go. Corner number one for Chelsea.

Thirty minutes gone in Maurizio Sarri's Premier League opener and his side have recorded no shots. None. Nothing. Not even a corner, either.

Chelsea are keeping the ball well. Alvaro Morata is finding space and Pedro is carrying the ball in dangerous areas. Difficult start for Huddersfield. The Chelsea bench is incredible with the likes of Eden Hazard waiting on the sidelines.

Alan Frank: Huddersfield were always going to play with big numbers in defence and midfield. Add the ineffective Morata to the equation and the lack of fire power from both teams and one goal either way could win this.

Bitten Apple Football:#Barkley, external not keeping the ball. Loftus-Cheek would have been a better option in the middle.

Loftus-Cheek is on the bench, alongside Eden Hazard and Olivier Giroud.

A second attempt for Huddersfield, again from outside the box. Steve Mounie strikes it well, but can't keep it down and it sails harmlessly over the top.

It is interesting to note how different Maurizio Sarri's touchline strategy is to that of his Chelsea managerial predecessor Antonio Conte.

Conte was manic, with his pointing and arm waving. It almost felt like he wanted to get on the field and join in at times.

Sarri looks a bit untidy, with his blue shirt outside his tracksuit bottoms. He does quite a bit of prowling in his technical area but his words are largely reserved for colleagues in the Chelsea dug-out rather than instructions to his players.

Not much love for Alvaro Morata, who very much seems a confidence player. Only three goals in his past 24 appearances though. He screwed one well wide, although was offside and then wasted another potential chance when the ball bounced off his heel and the opportunity was lost.

Jared Maobe: What is @AlvaroMorata, external doing in this team @ChelseaFC, external surely? Sarri picking him says a lot of the kind of manager he will be.

Lee Sykes: Looking at this Chelsea team as a fan and i feel it's actual a good team, a keeper who wants to play for us, back four who are all solid (Luiz most time) middle three can all play and front three all deadly on day Morata has his confidence back and Eden for Pedro

And my reverse psychology works perfectly with our first shot on target straight away after that.

Well, it doesn't really deserve to be called that as Alex Pritchard's 25-yard effort is weak and straight at Kepa. Easily dealt with by the new boy.

No shots, no corners and one foul.

Chelsea are trying to find a way through, but Huddersfield are defending narrowly on the edge of their box with nine outfield players smothering the danger. Made for some Hazard magic off the bench to open up the hosts later on, perhaps?

FEMI JOHN ATOYEBI: Bad vibe as a #Chelsea, external fan for this game at #Huddersfield, external with #Morata, external leading the line.

Eden Hazard and Olivier Giroud are sitting on the bench if needed though, Femi.

A half chance for Chelsea as Willian breaks, he tries to slot it through to Alvaro Morata but the ball bounces off the Spaniard's heel and the chance is wasted.

At the other end, Kepa the keeper comes off his line quickly and sprints out of his box to get to the ball before Steve Mounie can collect a long punt forward. Better from Chelsea's goalkeeper.

That kicking practice I spoke about earlier didn't do Kepa much good then.

With Huddersfield's energetic forwards pressing Chelsea back, the new arrival attempted a punt downfield.

It didn't come off. Instead Kepa sliced the ball not that far out of his penalty area.

Thankfully for the visitors, defenders were around to tidy up.
