Chelsea - Scunthorpe United live updates

CLOSE! Good effort from Fabregas and Daniels tips it over the bar. Was probably going over anyway.

That’s the first shot on goal for Chelsea, or first chance if you like. That’s what sets sides like these apart.

Indeed Scott Laird is credited with that own goal.

GOAL CHELSEA! The ball is whipped in by Ivanovic on the right and Costa scores via a touch from Laird. May be an own goal…

Dawson gets tangled up with Pedro and concedes a dangerous free kick. Willian to whip it in and Laird heads clear well.

So far, so good for Scunthorpe. Costa looks a little isolated and Daniels hasn’t had a shot to save so far.

POSSESSION: Chelsea 80% - 20% Scunthorpe

Van Veen breaks forward with success down the left and his cross is cut out by Willian. Encouraging signs for the visitors.

Scunthorpe fans all over the world enjoying this big day for their side.

Williams skips away from Costa and wins his side a throw in the Chelsea half. He’s looked good already.

Scunthorpe were the first to score here against Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea 11 years ago. They’d love that again.

A confidence-building first claim for keeper Daniels, leaping high to clutch Fabregas’ ball into the box.

Patient play from Chelsea, everyone behind the ball for Scunthorpe. Bishop hoofs clear before Costa has the chance to shoot.

An early run from Williams through the middle and he has a pop at goal from outside the box. It hits Cahill and bounces away to safety. That will give Scunthorpe some confidence.

Chelsea setting up 4-3-2-1, Scunthorpe 4-3-1-2. The Blues with the early possession, as expected. That will be the pattern for the game.

Referee Craig Pawson blows the whistle to get us underway here at Stamford Bridge. We all know what’s going to happen. Don’t we?

FIVE MINUTES TO KICK-OFF: The players are lining up in the tunnel and about to make their way out onto the pitch. Will Chelsea notch a cricket score against Sir Ian Botham’s old side? He’s also a Chelsea fan too…
