    50'
    The corner is headed out at the near post, and the second corner is worked into a third. The third is over hit and deflected out for a Chelsea throw.
    49'
    The game is yet to settle down into a particular rhythm. Ivanovic passes wide to Oscar, who wins a corner.
    48'
    Frank Lampard is warming up. Is he what they need? Not particularly.
    47'
    The ball is hoofed out of play by Cole. Free Juan Mata!

    We're off, and it seems that neither side have made a change to their sides.

    No. That's it for the half.
    45+1'
    Chelsea have one shot after another, but now Fulham break in the last minute of the half. Riether crosses, and Cole slides the ball out for a corner. A chance for a shock?

    Close for Chelsea. Cole flicks the ball into the centre, the ball is played right, and Ivanovic blasts goalwards, but it's deflected to the right of the goal. The corner is wasted.
    45'
    Oh dear.
    44'
    A long ball to Eto'o is caught by Stockdale.
    43'
    God, Jose Mourinho is handsome.
    42'
    Mikel is tackled by Kasami, who finds Bent, but his first touch is heavy and that's the end of that. Fulham are reluctant to bring men forward to support their striker, which makes sense.
    41'
    Cahill brings the ball forward, and gives Hazard the chance to cross. Badly.
    40'
    Chelsea have struggled to break Fulham down so far. They should bring Mata on.
    39'
    Richardson on the left again, back to Sidwell, whose pass is put out by Cahill for a throw.
    38'
    It's Fulham's first corner of the match, and it's headed away. The ball is put back into the box but Chelsea take control and attack down their right wing.
    37'
    Hazard finds Eto'o in the right channel, but the pass is intercepted and Fulham break with Kačaniklić on the left wing. The cross from Duff is deflected for a corner.
    36'
    Chance! A cross from Ramires finds Eto'o in the centre, but his header isn't strong enough. Eventually the ball is back for Eto'o to have a shot deflected, but the corner ends with a shot put wide by Hazard.
    35'
    Richardson free on the left, works the ball to Kačaniklić, back to Richardson, and into the advertising boards.
    34'
    Oscar and Schurrle stand over the ball. It's Oscar who takes, clipped into the wall, high into the air, and Stockdale is under no pressure when he gathers it.
    33'
    Hazard jinks left, and is tripped by Kasami, earning Chelsea a free kick to the left of the D, twenty five yards out. This is an excellent chance.
