35'
Chelsea have had 71 per cent possession so far.
34'
Fabregas's free-kick lands on the head of Christensen, who gets ahead of the ball and ends up knocking it away from goal.
33'
Fabregas has been the main threat to Huddersfield, with lots of time to pick out long passes.
30'
That's better from Chelsea. Fabregas clips a near-post cross towards Morata, who helps it towards goal on the volley. Lossl gets down to his left to make a comfortable save.
29'
Azpilicueta's cross is headed away by Kongolo. Chelsea are starting to show a few signs of frustration, on the pitch and in the stands.
27'
There are a few grumblings of dissatisfaction around the ground, with Chelsea struggling to get behind this excellent Huddersfield defence.
24'
After a very cautious start, Huddersfield have had an even share of the game in the last few minutes.
20'
Huddersfield enjoy their first extended spell in the Chelsea half. Mooy's cross is booted clear by Christensen, and that's about it.
17'
Huddersfield are so well organised defensively. Chelsea, for all their possession, haven't yet created much of note in open play.
15'
Here's more on the news that Sir Alex Ferguson is no longer in intensive care.
14'
There are unconfirmed reports that Huddersfield just crossed the halfway line.
12'
WHAT A CHANCE! Rudiger misses from two yards. A right-wing corner was headed across goal by Azpilicueta, and Rudiger arrived to volley it wide of an open goal. Oh dear.
11'
Mooy concedes the first corner of the game down the Chelsea left. It's half cleared to Willian, who beats Billing on the left corner of the box and curls a dangerous cross shot just wide of the far post.
9'
A decent effort from Willian, who dances away from Billing and drives a low shot wide of the far post from 20 yards.
8'
Huddersfield have come for a point. Even the two forwards, Depoitre and van La Parra, are playing as auxiliary defenders at the moment.
5'
It's all Chelsea. Huddersfield have barely had a kick - but Lossl has had a touch, beating away a stinging near-post shot from Alonso.
2'
Lots of early Chelsea possession, as you'd expect. Huddersfield haven't quite parked the bus, but they are sizing up a space on the edge of their own area.
1st Half
1'
Peep peep! Chelsea kick off on a balmy night in west London.
19:41
Some great news about Sir Alex Ferguson, who is no longer in intensive care at Salford Royal Hospital.
19:40
It's nearly time for business. Any predictions? I'll go for 2-0 Chelsea.
19:35
Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois is out with a back injury. Nobody knows anything with backs, but he might be a doubt for the FA Cup final in 11 days' time.
