Hello and welcome to our LIVE match coverage of the Premier League clash between Chelsea and West Ham Utd from Stamford Bridge. Kick off 19.45 GMT.

Ramires chopped down by Diame. Free kick but still no yellow cards as yet.

West Ham fans in good voice. What a bunch they are. They’ll keep singing if they’re getting beat 5 or 6-0 as they have been recently.

Good play from Oscar he gets his cross in and Collins forces it behind for a corner. A poor ball from Ramires and it’s out for a goal kick.

Nolan has a chance to find Taylor but it’s poor execution. Could have played him in there.

West Ham promised a physical encounter and so it’s transpiring. Not an easy match for them so far.

Hazard clattered by Taylor. It’s a strong challenge and Hazard gingerly gets to his feet. Got the ball and a chunk of Hazard.

Willian fires a shot just over the bar. He’s yet to score at Stamford Bridge, his two goals coming away at Norwich and Southampton. Great run by Hazard who knocks it back to Eto’o but he skews his shot over the top.

POSSESSION: Chelsea 63%-37% West Ham

Tomkins nearly scored with a header there but incredibly, West Ham are still the only team in the PL not to score a headed goal!

Cahill brings down Diame and West Ham have a free kick in a dangerous area. Downing whips it in, Tomkins heads it towards the corner and Cech saves onto Nolan and out for a goal kick! West Ham close to opening the scoring.

Oscar really oozes quality. Any chance of a shot just outside the box if the defence backs off and he’ll take it.

A bit of niggle between Collins and Ivanovic before the corner comes in. West Ham clear.

Hazard feeds Ivanovic and his pass almost finds Ramires in a great position. It comes back to Oscar and his curling shot is touched onto the bar. Good save!

A warning for Chelsea that West Ham do offer something up front. The visitors have started well.

Well West Ham had a good claim there. There was contact but perhaps the slippery surface was a factor in the referee’s decision.

Big penalty shout! Taylor finds Downing and he crosses to Andy Carroll. The big man goes down in the box looking for a penalty under a challenge from Azpilicueta.

Hazard already looks really sharp. Beats three men easily before his through ball to Oscar is intercepted.

Chelsea have won 12 of the last 15 Premier League meetings against West Ham.

Hazard feeds Azpilicueta and his cross is deflected behind for a Chelsea corner. Willian takes and Carroll clears the danger.

Samuel Eto’o setting up as the long striker with Willian and Hazard providing support on the flanks. Could be a torrid time for the West Ham defence. West Ham force an early corner though. Oscar heads clear.

Referee Neil Swarbrick blows the whistle to get us underway here at a rainy Stamford Bridge. Anything other than a Chelsea win would be a huge surprise tonight.
