    Half an hour left. Can Chelsea turn a decent point into a very very good win?

    Ajax 0-0 Chelsea

    So close! Ajax hit the post from that corner as Edson Alvarez stoops to flick a header on. Daley Blind then shoots low and hard but it's an easy save for Kepa. Ajax unlucky.

    David Thackeray: The Ajax goal was offside by a big toe. The law has been changed a couple of times since the 1950s not necessarily to the benefit of the game.What would happen if offside was completely scrapped?

    Christian Pulisic was a key man when he came on at the weekend, time for him to shine again?

    Ajax get the ball into a good area but again, the pattern of the game continues, the cross is cut out.

    Kurt Zouma and Fikayo Tomori have grown. At the start of the season I had reservations with Zouma but this evening they've done well together. It's been a frantic game and so far they've been composed and in control.

    STILL one shot on target in the game.

    I know there are calls for Cesar Azpilicueta to lose his place from some Chelsea fans but he's been excellent at the back tonight. He steps across to cut out a one-two between Dusan Tadic and Quincy Promes and clear.

    Game needs a goal.

    It's a shocking tackle by Dusan Tadic. He totally wipes Willian out. His arm goes across his face and he hits his knee.

    It was unconventional the way he left his body in there. If the ref had given a red card we wouldn't be saying 'that was harsh', we'd have said 'fair enough'.

    Mason Mount has his hands up and raised, always wanting the ball. His cross is cut out, corner ball.

    That's a high tackle at the rugby World Cup, never mind in the Champions League! Dusan Tadic gets himself in a tangle and clotheslines Willian to the floor! A mess off a challenge. He's lucky perhaps to only get booked there.

    Chelsea need to have a little bit more quality in the final moment. They've been brilliant until that moment. They need a little bit of calmness to finish off these moves.

    Dusan Tadic wins an early corner - it's nodded across his own goal and away by Fikayo Tomori.

    Ajax play like this for a reason. The ballboys get the ball back onto the pitch within half a second for a reason. They're used to it, they want this tempo. Whether or not they can play like this for two halves is questionable but Chelsea might have to think 'we need to consolidate a bit here. When we win the ball we've got enough, we fancy Abraham to expose Blind or the other centre-back Veltman with his pace'. Maybe that will be their tack.

    As it stands Ajax would top the group, three points clear of Chelsea, with Valencia just a point behind with a game in hand...

    It's been a brilliant half, totally entertaining with some brilliant football, brilliant tackles, goalmouth action and a few mistakes as well. It's had a bit of everything thrown in.

    Barcelona make two changes from Saturday's 3-0 win over Eibar. Gerard Pique is back in the team after a La Liga suspension and replaces Samuel Umtiti, who is injured.

    Nelson Semedo replaces the injured Sergi Roberto at right-back.

    The front three of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Antoine Griezmann clicked well at the weekend, all scoring - and they all start again.
