With Antonio Conte as their manager, Chelsea have never lost a lead.

HUDDERsfield are in big trouble in little China now; how are they going to force a response without getting monstered on the break?

GOAL! Huddersfield 0-1 Chelsea (Bakayoko) This is superbly taken, but what a ricket from Lossl who slips as he makes a clearance, trying to play out. Moses is first to the loose ball, Hazard leaps and plays a square pass behind one leg with the other, Willian slides Bakayoko in, and he lifts the ball over the keeper before Lowe makes sure, trying to clear and hurting himself in the process.
22'
David Wagner will be entirely satisfied with how this has gone so far; Chelsea have done nowt.

Long ball into the channel seeks Ince but Azpilicueta is as quick, causing him to lose patience and administer a shove. "Ince will tear you apart again," sing the home fans.
18'
Smith gets forward from right-back, Rudiger falls over and Kachunga crosses - not very well, but Moses heads it behind anyway. The corner comes to nothing.
16'
Jose Mourinho made the same error when United came to Leeds Road - he went 3-5-2 in the second half, and struggled to get round the sides.
15'
I wonder if Conte might think about playing 4-3-3, because if Chelsea are going to go wide, some overlaps might be helpful.
13'
Good, low cross in from Moses, but Lossl does well to dive in and punch it away. For a second, it looks like Huddersfield can break, but they can't.
12'
Chelsea are trying to switch the ball quickly and work it wide to Alonso, who clouts his cross miles away from anyone.
10'
Kachunga goes down the right and stabs a cross towards the edge of the box, where Mooy catches it nicely on the volley, but hits it straight at the defender.
9'
Huddersfield aren't bothering to engage Chelsea in the Chelsea half, only starting to move once they cross halfway. Or, as Arsene Wenger would say, they're cheating.
7'
It's Hazard in the middle, by the way.
6'
Willian slots Pedro in and he slots home, but he's gone about 10 minutes too early. I can't see Huddersfield getting their trap right every time though.
5'
First little flash, Azpilcueta picking a lofted pass over the top for Hazard, who's in acres but can't control as the ball drops. It therefore trickles behind, but that's a warning.
4'
Chelsea pass it about, Huddersfield sit and run simultaneously. Football lingo is great.
3'
I said it's cold; it's also raining. More news as I get it.
1'
Chelsea are straight onto the attack, and Pedro is caught offside. I'm imagine that'll be a rarity, as I can't see Huddersfield offering much space in behind.

Away we go, as they late, great Ron Pickering might've said.

I wonder if no Morata will help Chelsea tonight - the speed and deftness of their front three might be just what's required to move Huddersfield's deep defence around.
