Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE digital coverage of tonight's early Champions League kick-off, as Zenit welcome Chelsea to the Gazprom Arena. Team news to follow...

Barkley fails to beat the first man and it's cleared.

Chelsea are having a good spell here. They're being patient with their build-up and have earned a corner.

Lukaku had a half chance to get a shot away, but couldn't get the ball under control and loses possession.

The Chelsea player has an effort just inside the box but it doesn't trouble the keeper too much, Chelsea still on the attack...

Barkley looks to bend a speculative effort towards goal but it's straight at the goalkeeper.

Andrey Mostovoy comes on to replace Wendel.

It looks like Wendel has felt something after going down unchallenged. He'll be replaced...

Hudson-Odoi makes a run down the right but his cross towards Werner was intercepted.

No changes to tell you about at half-time.

We're back underway in Russia.

Zenit lead at the break!

There will be one minute of added time to be played at the end of the first half.

It could have easily be three for Zenit! Azmoun makes a great run beyond the Chelsea defence again but his effort is denied by a strong hand from Kepa.

What a turnaround! Chelsea are dispossessed in the middle of the park which enables Malcolm to slip in Azmoun who takes the ball around Kepa to tap in to an empty net.

Chelsea will be angry with this one, they had two chances to clear their lines but failed to do so. Douglas Santos picks the ball up on the left-hand side and swings in a delightful ball for Claudinho who makes a late run and heads the ball beyond Kepa at the near post.

Game on!

Azmoun makes a good run down the right-hand side but the angle is slightly acute, which allowed Saul to track back and clear before it could find one of the three Zenit players queuing up to shoot.

Lukaku whips in a good ball towards Mount at the back post but Kerzhakov makes a great stop to deny a Chelsea second.

Saul flicks on Barkley's corner at the near post but he diverts it over the bar and out for a goal kick.

Chelsea have a corner.

Azmoun has a header from close-range but he puts it wide.

Zenit have grown into this game which is now wide open!

Kepa makes a great one-on-one save to deny Malcolm pulling the score level.
