    Time:90'
    • Chelsea
    • Roma
    • 90+3' That's it!!! Chelsea have all three points, and deservedly so. They move three points clear in Group A. The knock-out phase beckons!!
    • 90' Paulo Ferreira replaces Eurosport's pundit supreme, Anelka.
    • 89' Chelsea are comfortable now, playing out the remaining minutes without much sign of attacking intent from Roma.
    • 85' Panucci gets a silly booking for dissent.
    • 84' Free-kick to Chelsea on the left, level with the edge of the box. LAMPARD GOES FOR GOAL!!! Fine save from Doni.
    • 81' Riise is the next to make way for Roma. Max Tonetto takes his place.
    • 80' Roma bring on Jeremy Menez to replace Taddei on the right.
    • 78' GOOOOOAAAALLLL!!!! TERRY GLANCES HOME LAMPARD'S LEFT-WING CORNER TO PUT THE HOME SIDE AHEAD!!!
    • 75' 19-year-old Franco Di Santo enters the fray for Chelsea, replacing Kalou.
    • 74' Chelsea pressing down the right, but Carvalho can't quite reach Deco's pass. Goal-kick to Roma.
    • 69' Free-kick for Chelsea, central and 30 yards out...Lampard takes aim...INTO THE WALL!!
    • 65' Fine ball from Deco to find Kalou on the left edge of the box, but he wastes it with a woeful cross.
    • 63' Mikel lets fly with a very hopeful effort from 35 yards. Well wide.
    • 61' KALOU IS UNMARKED AND HIS HEADER FROM LAMPARD'S FREE-KICK IS WELL SAVED BY DONI!!! Chelsea's best chance so far. They're getting closer.
    • 60' Change for Roma. Perrotta replaces Aquilani.
    • 46' Chelsea make a change at half-time. Juliano Belletti replaces Florent Malouda.
    • 45+1' Half-time at Stamford Bridge and we're still goalless. Chelsea have just about shaded it, but they've yet to open Roma up. The Italians look dangerous on the break and will be pleased with the way the match is going.
    • 41' Chelsea are furious!! Deco bursts forward and is crudely hacked to the floor by De Rossi on the edge of the box, but the referee plays advantage only for Lampard to lose possession.
    • 38' Bridge to Deco, who backheels into the path of LAMPARD...whose weak shot drifts past the post.
    • 36' GLORIOUS STUFF FROM TOTTI!!! He turns his marker, slips another blue shirt and sends a reverse pass through to Vucinic...but Chelsea are alert to the danger.
    • 32' Fine defending from Vucinic, who clears up the danger after a forward burst from Malouda and sets Roma on the counter.
    • 28' Kalou cuts in from the right, but his weak left-foot shot does not trouble Doni in the Roma goal.
    • 26' Fascinating start to this match. Both sides are defending tightly and packing midfield. It's going to take a moment of inspiration to set the game alight.
    • 22' Mexes trips Jon Obe Mikel and concedes a free-kick in a very dangerous position, 25 yards out to to the right. Lampard and Deco take aim...LAMPARD HITS THE BAR!!! WHAT A STRIKE!!!
    • 19' Kalou races away down the right and finds Lampard on the edge of the box, who shapes to shoot...but Aquilani makes a fine tackle to rob him before he can pull the trigger.
    • 16' Lampard crunches Alberto Aquilani and is lucky to escape without a booking. De Rossi and John Arne Riise line up the free-kick, fully 40 yards out...De Rossi's shot is well wide.
    • 13' Kalou plays in Jose Bosingwa on the right flank, but his cross is blocked. Chelsea come again with Lampard, but the England midfielder gets the ball stuck under his feet.
    • 11' Good period of pressure for Chelsea, before Deco fouls Daniele De Rossi to give Roma the chance to clear.
    • 8' Totti picks up possession and glides forward, before unleashing a swerving shot from 25 yards. It's well wide to Cech's left.
    • 4' Both sides start well, with Roma passing the ball fluently and looking to Totti at every opportunity.
    • 1' And away we go in southwest London!! Both sides in their familiar home strips - Chelsea in blue, with Roma in maroon. The pitch is in immaculate condition and it's a clear night. Perfect for football.
    • - TEAM NEWS: Francesco Totti will indeed start for Roma, who also name Matteo Brighi among their starters. Simone Perrotta will start on the bench. Roma line-up: Doni, Panucci, Cicinho, Mexes, Aquilani, Vucinic, Totti, Taddei, De Rossi, Riise, Brighi.
    • - TEAM NEWS: Ricardo Carvalho returns for Chelsea alongside John Terry at the back. Deco is also recalled as expected, with Nicolas Anelka leading the line. Chelsea line-up: Cech, Bosingwa, Terry, Carvalho, Bridge, Kalou, Lampard, Mikel, Malouda, Deco, Anelka
    • - Chelsea have four points from their opening two matches, the same as CFR Cluj, while Roma have three; Bordeaux are bottom with a big fat zero.
    • - Roma arrive in London smarting from a 4-0 defeat to Internazionale, but will be able to call on defenders Philippe Mexes and Christian Panucci - who were both suspended for the Serie A encounter. Francesco Totti made his first league start in eight months against Inter, having undergone knee surgery in April.
    • - The Premier League leaders hope to welcome back goalkeeper Petr Cech after he suffered a thigh injury on international duty with the Czech Republic and missed the Blues' 5-0 hammering of Middlesbrough at the weekend. Portuguese midfielder Deco could make his first start in a month with Michael Ballack, Michael Essien and Joe Cole all ruled out through injury.
