Southampton are forced into a change.

Armel Bella-Kotchap is replaced by Duje Caleta-Car.

West Ham then come close again as Paqueta smashes one over the bar from long range.

Bruno Fernandes gets to a cross from Casemiro but, under pressure from Kieran Trippier, he can't get enough power behind his header and Nick Pope makes a comfortable catch.

The crowd had to wait a while for the football to get going but not for the first chance.

Luis Sinisterra drills it inches wide of the post!

The Manchester United fans behind the Newcastle goal want a penalty as Nick Pope's save from Antony bounces up towards a Newcastle arm. Nothing from the referee, and nothing from VAR, though. That was a really good chance for Antony, but he couldn't beat Pope at his near post.

Looks like Graham Potter has had enough of Villa's dominance and has switched Ruben Loftus-Cheek to right wing-back instead of Raheem Sterling.

Playing Sterling at wing-back against RB Salzburg is one thing, playing it against Villa is another.

We're ready to go! Leeds will get us going again from the throw-in.

Deja vu.

Gianluca Scamacca curls it into the box for Paqueta at the back post. He heads it down into the ground and it bounces up and inches beyond the far post. So close! Another very good chance for West Ham, who really should be level. Southampton have come close through Che Adams but have had to defend heavily this half.

Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga has already made six saves, his joint-most in a single Premier League match.

It's driven in low by Tripper but the hosts are able to clear the danger.

Casemiro brings down Miguel Almiron as the Paraguayan nips in and threatens to break clear to the right of the Manchester United penalty area.

This is a chance. Kieran Trippier to take.

Referee Chris Kavanagh is testing the goalline technology again and each time he puts the ball over the line the crowd are cheering.

From the corner, Jarrod Bowen gets it on the edge of the box but his shot is deflected by a wall of defenders.

It falls for Gianluca Scamacca and he almost puts it under the bar - again heavily deflected - but it loops dangerously over. Getting closer...

Looks like we're almost ready to go which is good news. Mikel Arteta takes his place in the dugout. The fans have just been thanked by the stadium announcer for their "patience."

"We'll hopefully be back under way in a few minutes", they say.

The officials are just having another little warm-up now too.

No idea how Villa haven't got an equaliser here. In fact, I do, it's because of Kepa Arrizabalaga in the Chelsea goal. He has been brilliant.

Villa are getting lots of joy down the wings, and John McGinn has worked out there is loads of room down the left behind Chelsea's right wing-back Raheem Sterling.

That booking for Ben Chilwell won't help matters.

Joelinton is down now after a collision with Antony among a series of tasty challenges.

It looks like the Newcastle man just got caught in the face as Antony ran away from him.

Yellow card for Ben Chilwell, sliding in and catching Jacob Ramsey and the Chelsea man can't have any complaints.

Adam Armstrong comes crashing into Vladimir Coufal and is penalised. West Ham eventually win a corner on the far side.

Chelsea have a chance for a second but Kai Havertz, after being set up by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, can only shoot weakly at Emiliano Martinez.

Villa instantly nearly make them pay down the other end. Leon Bailey's cross from the right is headed by Danny Ings but it is an athletic save from Kepa Arrizabalaga, who is having a storming game, to push it over the top and keep it at 0-1.

Noel: Looks like even Leeds United can't afford to pay their electricity bill!

Anon: Somebody at Elland Road saw the writing on the wall and pulled the plug.

Tom: Good thing the balls are battery powered though. I always carry a few AA and AAA just in case. I got you Elland Road!

Lawrence: It's about time we asked the question, are United really any better under Ten Hag? I don't think we are.
