Good afternoon and welcome to LIVE coverage of the Premier League fixture between Chelsea and Aston Villa from Stamford Bridge.

FULL TIME! Chelsea 3 Aston Villa 0

We'll play three more minutes here.

Schuerrle has a shot closed down. He's not added too much other than fresh legs here, but then that was the idea really.

Frank Lampard has just scored his fourth goal in a week for Man City. If Chelsea weren't so absolutely boss at the moment, maybe they'd regret letting him go....

Remy runs through to head a raking delivery straight at Guzan, but he was caught by the trap anyway.

Chelsea sit back, Chelsea get the ball in their third, Chelsea press forward, Chelsea pull it back, Chelsea hold possession for a while. Rinse and repeat. Formulaic stuff but it's been pulled off perfectly.

Chelsea have won all four previous PL matches where Willian has scored.

Standing ovation for Costa as he makes way for Loic Remy.

Willian deserved that. He's had a great game. Goal, assist and a hand in the build to the other.

GOAAAAAAALLLL! On the counter to that Villa push, Costa controsla long ball with ease, comes into the danger area, fakes out Senderos and though his drive is saved Willian is there for his first of the season on the rebound. 3-0!

Delph almost catches Chelsea off guard with a great run down the left but Cahill blocks.

Stifling change by Mourinho sees opening goalscorer Oscar replaced by holding midfielder John Obi Mikel.

Fabregas free-kick finds the crowd well. Matic rises highest after surging forward to head it just wide. His move forward did trigger the flag, however.

Darren Bent does not look like he is 100% match fit. In a Luke Shaw way, not an injury way.

Chelsea quietening down which is half Villa standing up to them well, admirably so since the game's all but done, and also because they're calming down the tempo themselves.

20 minutes to go in the 3pm kick-offs, it's all happening elsewhere, too:

And a double change for Villa sees Darren Bent and Charles N'Zogbia on for Richardson and Weimann.

Here comes Andre Schuerrle, who was a busy man for Chelsea midweek in the cup, for Hazard.

Costa almost gets his own second as an acute-angle drive flashes across goal.

Chelsea's tails are up. Full pomp and swagger now.
