34'

CHANCE! Zappacosta wins a corner after a challenge from Phillips. Fabregas' delivery is flicked on by Christensen, it takes a deflection and falls to Giroud whose bicycle kick goes wide. Decent effort.

30'

Phillips' cross is blocked by Zappacosta for their fourth corner. Its whipped into the box but Chelsea easily clear at the near post.

28'

CLOSE! Krychowiak is brought down for a free-kick. Brunt's cross towards the back post finds Dawson whose header is blocked by Courtois but the defender is flagged off-side.

Chelsea have scored the first goal 14 times this season - and have won all 14 games.

26'

The Belgian has been quiet but has come to the party. Fabregas found Hazard before he was set up by Giroud using his strength.

25'

GOAL FOR CHELSEA! Hazard hammers the ball into the bottom corner after good link up play with Giroud.

23'

Chelsea have a free-kick near the edge of the box after Pedro goes down easily under Hegazi's challenge.Hazard's free-kick hits the top of the wall and the Baggies clear.

22'

We have approached the midway point of the half and both sides should have found the back of the net. It's been an entertaining affair.

21'

CLOSE! Moses' cross near the byline is blocked for a corner. Its played short to Hazard whose low cross finds Giroud whose first-time shot is blocked, he should have scored from there.

18'

GREAT SAVE! Azpilcueta's low curling cross falls to Zappacosta at the back post and his shot from a yard out is brilliantly blocked by a diving Foster.

16'

Morata is wearing a Bane-like mask as he sits on the bench next to Cahill.

15'

Nervy start from Chelsea summed up by Rudiger's performance so far. West Brom are playing like the home side.

11'

WHAT A MISS! Rudiger's woeful header back towards the keeper finds Rodriguez who for some reason decides to shoot first time from outside the box and it trickles wide.

11'

Chelsea have a corner after Giroud cannot get a shot away from Azpilcueta's cross. The corner is a poor one though and the Baggies clear.

Dawson is lucky to stay on the field after a shin high challenge on Zappacosta. The referee was not in a good position to see that.

CLOSE! A ball is played over the top for Giroud whose low shot from a tight angle is blocked.
