    Chelsea 1-0 Newcastle

    There haven't been many chances for Newcastle, but Ciaran Clark almost finds the net with a ball dinked into the area by Christian Atsu.

    The Blues look a little peaky here.

  3. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 85 mins

    Steve Bruce plays all his cards.

    Christian Atsu comes on for Joelinton and Dwight Gayle is on for Allan Saint-Maximin.

  4. GREAT DEFENDING!published at 80 mins

    Chelsea 1-0 Newcastle

    Tammy Abraham thought he was set to score his 10th goal of the season, only for DeAndre Yedlin to arrive 'same-day delivery' to put in a brilliant block.

    Ten to go!

    Marcos Alonso

    It was coming, tbf.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 71 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle

    Somewhat surprisingly it's not a straight swap.

    Miguel Almiron comes off to be replaced by Andy Carroll.

    Expect balls pumped up.

  7. OUTSTANDING SAVE!published at 70 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle

    Martin Dubravka punches the air like he's just knocked out Thanos.

    The Slovakia stopper produces a point-blank stop to prevent Christian Pulisic from finding the net after Callum Hudson-Odoi attempted shot fortuitously arrives at his feet.

    Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle

    It's Tammy Abraham again!

    This time the England forward heads over the bar.

    Talking of aerial threats....Andy Carroll is warming up.

    Chelsea win their eighth corner... they surely have to make one of these count!

    The Magpies defence clears again - they are going to be kept busy in this last half hour of the game though.

    Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle

    Newcastle skipper Jamaal Lascelles concedes a free-kick about 25 yards from his own area.

    Mount over it on the right.

  13. Postpublished at 60 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle

    More last-gasp defending from Newcastle. This time Cesar Azplicueta's diagonal low ball has to be hoofed clear two yards from goal.

    Will the Blues deliver a punch?

    Or will Newcastle deliver a sucker-punch?

  14. OFF THE BAR!!published at 57 mins

    Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle

    Tammy Abraham jostles for position and nods the ball against the crossbar!!!

    It's the closest either side have come to a goal.

    Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle

    Newcastle once again win possession in Chelsea's half - to more Blues protests because they believe it was unfairly won - but the visitors don't make anything of it.

    The second half has yet to take off, but there is a sense that it won't be long before a goal comes.

    Play stops as Ciaran Clark and Tammy Abraham unintentionally bang heads together.

    They both seem OK. The Blues have a free-kick on the right of the area but nothing comes of it.
