You can see the dodgy pitch break up under Willian's feet as he runs with the ball. Like ice cracking on a lake.

Olivier Giroud has either scored or assisted in each of his last four starts for Chelsea - three goals and one assist).

Dynamo Kiev would need to score five goals now because of the away goal rule.

If this was the Champions League then I might believe it could happen...

Antonio Rudiger half-clears the corner and Mykola Shaparenko completely air-kicks the ball from the edge of the box.

They still haven't had a shot on target in this tie.

An early Dynamo goal might make things interesting. And Davide Zappacosta does well to turn a dangerous free-kick over his own bar.

Chelsea straight on the attack but Willian's left-wing cross is chested away.

We are under way in Ukraine.

A 7-0 defeat by Manchester City has cost Schalke's manager his job.

Dynamo Kiev reached the semi-final of the Uefa Cup in 2008-09 before losing to domestic rivals Shakhtar Donetsk.

But they have not managed to go further than the quarter-finals in six attempts since the competition was rebranded as the Europa League.

Those appearances in the last eight came in 2011 and 2015, when they went out to Braga and Fiorentina.

Chelsea star Eden Hazard has been linked to Real Madrid, even more so after Zinedine Zidane's return as manager.

The 28-year-old Belgian has previously described Real as his "dream" move and Zidane his "idol".

Blues boss Maurizio Sarri said: "I don’t know, you have to ask Hazard. I didn’t speak with Eden about Zidane so I don’t know.

"I am not worried because you know very well my opinion. I only want players in my team who want to play for Chelsea, so I cannot be worried."

Blues team-mate Willian says "no doubt, he's focused here".

The Brazilian added: "He's never said something about Real Madrid or stuff like this. He just wants to continue to play for Chelsea."

Decent atmopshere at the Olympic Stadium. Of course who can forget the Kiev Olympics...?

ope: #bbcfootball For Dynamo Kiev to stand a chance of sneaking into the last 8, the team will surely need a midfielder in the mould of the ex Man Utd and Oxford Utd freshly fired manager. PAUL SCHOLExit

We appreciate all your tweets at #bbcfootball (well the non-offensive ones) but sometimes I see one that I just cannot get my head around.

So ladies and gentlemen I give you...

Terryfic Otobong: Leno's fine form is needed in today's game. It's crucial.

Elliot Leaver: Chelsea can complain about the pitch all they want, but they DID cover Stamford Bridge with sand to play Charlton a number of years ago.

Willian spent six years in Ukraine with Shakhtar Donetsk, winning the league four times and the Ukrainian Cup on three occasions, including two final victories over Dynamo.

He was also a Uefa Cup winner with Shakhtar in 2008-09, playing in both legs against Dynamo in the semi-final.

He has scored two stunning free-kicks for Chelsea against Kiev in Europe, including one in the first leg.

Arsenal midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan will have a late fitness test.

The Armenian midfielder missed Sunday's league win over Manchester United with a back injury but trained on Wednesday.

Striker Alexandre Lacazette will be available after his three-match ban was reduced to two on appeal, and Lucas Torreira returns from a domestic ban.

Sokratis Papastathopoulos is banned after being sent off in the first leg.

Khuram Soldado: Jorginho on the bench!?! I predict then that his game will move forward instead of sideways.

Andriy Shevchenko is the highest profile player to play for both Chelsea and Dynamo Kiev.

The Ukraine manager was speaking to the Blues website about tonight's game: "Chelsea are very good with a lot of experience. Kiev are a very young team with less experience.

"I expect a great atmosphere, Chelsea already played there a few years ago in the Champions League. It’s always warm [atmosphere] in stadiums in Ukraine."

There are a few big teams in action in the 20:00 GMT games.

Inter Milan are at home to Eintracht Frankfurt, having drawn 0-0 in Germany. Sevilla take their 2-2 draw to Slavia Prague - meaning they need to score or they'll be out on away goals.

Villarreal are looking in good shape, at home to Zenit St Petersburg, having won 3-1 in Russia. The other game sees Benfica host Dinamo Zagreb. The Croats won their home leg 1-0.
