FULL-TIME: Chelsea had more than enough to get the job done today. They were quiet for much of the second half but still hit the woodwork three times during the second period alone. We have another programme of Champions League fixtures tomorrow - hope you'll join us for those!
90+2'
McEachran brought down for a free kick. Chelsea are in no hurry to take it - and as soon as they do the whistle is blown!
90+1'
Lucho tries a shot from distance - Marseille have tried that far too many times, and they simply haven't caused Chelsea any concern. Forty seconds left.
90'
Two minutes of stoppage time to play.

POST AGAIN FOR ESSIEN! Another crisp hit on his left, but he finds the outside of the post once more.
89'
Remy wastes possession on the right. He's been more anonymous as the game progressed - but he's not long been back from injury.

Here comes McEachran - and Mikel takes a rest.

STURRIDGE MISSES - HOW? It was another flowing move and Malouda's cross from the left needed a good connection and not much more to be turned in - but Sturridge doesn't make that connection.
87'
Essien, Mikel and Ivanovic stroke the ball around as it looks like McEachran is set to get a run-out.
86'
Ramires makes a bolt down the left hand side but is tackled by Kabore before he can get his cross in.
85'
Valbuena, who's played well since his arrival, cuts in on his right shot and tries a placed shot from distance to the far corner. No problems for Cech.
84'
The second half has drifted by quite quickly and without great incident, and Chelsea despite not being at their best look to be strolling to another three points.
83'
Cisse tries a volley after Lucho's set piece bounces back his way - it's a good hit, but he cannot keep it under the bar.
82'

Booking for Mikel - and a pointless one, after he knocks the ball away after tackling his man.
81'
Ramires looks to unleash Anelka, but not this time. The striker has been scoring his goals in braces recently - can he repeat the trick today?

From OptaJoe on Twitter: "26 - John Terry had gone 26 games for club and country without finding the back of the net, a run dating back to March. Captain."

MARSEILLE CLOSE! Lucho's free kick seems to land at Heinze's feet, but he cannot stub the chance past Cech from a couple of yards out and the Chelsea keeper makes the ball his own.
78'
Ayew tries a hit from range. If it was dangerous - and it probably wasn't - the deflection it took off Alex drew the sting out of it.
77'
Sturridge's ball doesn't quite reach the charging Essien but the Ghanaian wins the ball back. That gives Malouda a chance to have a hit from distance but he's slipped it over the bar.
76'
That's the story of the second hald - Chelsea have been far from their best, but when the Blues string play together they are capable of making their visitors look ordinary.
