Happy New Year and welcome to LIVE commentary as Chelsea host Southampton. Kick-off at Stamford Bridge is at 19:45 GMT. There is some interesting team news to follow...

FULL TIME: Chelsea are left frustrated as it finishes 0-0. Gunn and Yoshida were the stars for the Saints, who defended brilliantly throughout to earn a deserved point. Thanks for following the game with us..

Stephens is on for Redmond..

PENALTY APPEAL! Alonso goes down under a challenge from Long who put his arm into his back, that looked soft, and Jon Moss waves play on.

There will be 4 added minutes. Alonso blazes a long-range effort over the bar, that was ambitious.

Charlie Austin is on for Armstrong.

Brilliant challenge from Yoshida on Kante, who was through on goal. Long is around 30 yards away from a team-mate.

Cedric hobbles off to get treatment after a collision with Kepa.

Six minutes left, its surprising that Sarri has not made further subs with Ampadu on the bench.

Hazard slips it through to Fabregas, but his touch is heavy and he fluffs the chance.

Romeu is booked for bringing down Hazard. This will be a good point for the Saints but they will drop into the drop zone as Burnley are beating Huddersfield 2-1.

GOOD SAVE! Chelsea break, Loftus-Cheek finds Morata whose effort from a tight angle is kept out. Another impressive stop, standing tall.

Rudiger is booked for leaning in with his elbow, the Blues look frustrated.

Kante with a nasty looking challenge on Redmond, it did not look deliberate, he escapes a booking.

DISALLOWED GOAL! Morata puts the ball in from Fabregas' pass but he is flagged off-side, that was the correct decision but was marginal.

Cesc Fàbregas replaces Barkley, the former Everton man has been quiet.

CHANCE! Jorginho breaks forward and tries his luck from distance but his shot is easily caught by Gunn. Chelsea being restricted here, surely time for a substitution?
