40'
West Ham started this match brightly but they have really faded as the second half has progressed. They need the half-time break to regroup and come up with something of a new plan.

COSTA FIRES ONE OFF AT GOAL! The Spanish international shifts the ball on to his right foot on the edge of the box and smashes a strike at goal, but his effort flashes just over.
38'
37'
On comes Tore for his West Ham debut at the home of his former club Chelsea. He's on loan from Beskitas and will have the chance to make an impression at Stamford Bridge tonight.

West Ham change: Andre Ayew OFF, Gokhan Tore ON.
35'
Indeed, that's the end of this match for Ayew. The record signing will be coming off for West Ham. He's hobbling off the pitch as Blic prepares to make a change to replace him.

UH OH! Ayew has hit the turf and is holding his thigh. This could be a problem for the Hammers. Their record signing is signalling to the bench that his evening could be over.
33'
That was exceptional play from Hazard and suggested that he might be about to rediscover his best form under Conte. West Ham are struggling to keep him under control.

HAZARD COMES SO CLOSE! The Belgian drives at the West Ham defence, working his way into the penalty area, but his low effort flashes just past the far post. Adrian was beaten!
31'
Sam Allardyce is in the crowd tonight to watch his former club. There will be a few in both teams that he's scouting ahead of his first game as England manager next month.
30'
29'
Finally, West Ham are taking the chance to pass the ball among themselves, stemming the flow of Chelsea pressure that was coming their way. This is probably a wise move for them.

DANGEROUS CROSS! Hazard did really well to flash a low cross right across the face of the West Ham goal, but there were no takers. Nobody willing to gamble on getting on the end of it.
27'
After a bright start to the match, Carroll hasn't seen much of the ball in the last 10 minutes or so. That could be because West Ham haven't seen much of the ball as a whole in that time.
26'
West Ham also have a Europa League qualifier to play on Thursday night. I wonder if that will come into Bilic's thinking as this match goes on. Could he rest a few players later?
25'
First shot of Dimitri Payet on the West Ham bench this evening. Of course, he's missing out tonight after his involvement in the summer's European Championships. Might come on.
24'
23'
Costa has been lively early on in this match. Conte wants him to play more centrally than he did last season. The Spanish international was lacking in the way of goals last term.

YELLOW CARD: James Collins (West Ham)
21'
Reid did have his arms out, but Oscar made the very most of any contact. There didn't seem to be much in it. The referee probably made the right call not to award the spot kick.

PENALTY CLAIM! Oscar robs Noble of the ball on the edge of the box and drives into the area. The Brazilian goes down under the challenge of Reid, but the referee says no penalty!
