    • FT And there is the full-time whistle - the right response from Chelsea after their defeat to Barnsley but Derby were truly awful once again. Thanks for joining us.
    • 90+1 Drogba sees a deflected long effort go just wide.
    • 89' With this win Chelsea will now just be five points behind Arsenal with a game in hand - there are certainly back in the the title race.
    • 87' On last goal is the winner rules Derby are just three minutes away from a famous win!! And they look like they might hang on.
    • 85' A late booking for McEveley
    • 83' Derby actually doing as much attacking as Chelsea now - one more and they will be right back in it - or....maybe not!
    • 79' Chelsea showing a bit of mercy now - they seem happy to just pass it around.
    • 75' Shevchenko on for Joe Cole and Essien has also come on for Makelele
    • 73' ANOTHER GOAL - but this time for Derby - Jones is found at the back post and he calmly places home. Well Derby would have half a chance if it was last goal the winner - I'd still back Chelsea though.
    • 72' FOUR FOR LAMPARD - SIX FOR CHELSEA - Derby are just standing off Chelsea it is pathetic really - Cole set him up a nice little spin move from Lampard and he then places home another.
    • 69' Carroll forced to make another save to push away Kalou as he was played through - it is like Chelsea have two or three extra players at the moment.
    • 67' More bad news for Derby - Drogba's now on - Ballack makes way.
    • 66' GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL - Frank Lampard gets to take the ball home - he has scored a hat-trick - He had all kinds of space outside of the area to line up a shot and fire home low into the corner of the net. Getting embarrasing for Derby now.
    • 64' And it is four - Joe Cole gets his name on the scoresheet - easy stuff again - Makelele cuts the defence with a great ball and Anelka is sent clear one-on-one. His low effort is saved by Carroll but Cole is there to place home the rebound.
    • 61' So the only real interest in this game now comes from a Fantasy perspective. I'm sure all of you with Chelsea defenders in your team are hoping for a clean sheet - I think you might be ok !!
    • 58' Second change for Derby as Jones comes on for Lewis.
    • 57' THREE FOR CHELSEA - Great play from Anelka down the left as he puts Cole away - the winger then races into the box and right to the byline before checking it back to Lampard who has the easy task of tapping home two yards out.
    • 53' Looks like Derby have decided to "go for it" - Earnshaw is on for Ghaly.
    • 51' Kalou puts in a good cross and Anelka flicks a header on but it goes just wide.
    • 50' Lampard is found in the box he keeps looking to find space for a shot but his final effort is blocked by Leacock and flashes across the face of the goal. Joe Cole comes so close to turning it in.
    • 49' Well the second-half again is follow a trend - Derby have just had a rare attack going forward but Eddie Lewis then crossed to nobody.
    • 47' A back pass to Carroll is a little short but the keeper gets there just ahead of Anelka.
    • 46' And away we go with the second half.
    • HT And there is the half-time whistle - very comfortable for Chelsea but then again, it is not as if they are playing a world class side like Barnsley.
    • 44' Superb save by Carroll to deny Kalou but it has come a minute too late you feel.
    • 42' TWO NIL FOR CHELSEA - Lampard looks to play in Anelka who outsprints Moore. Carroll comes out to clear but makes a mess of it and then Kalou is able to hit the ball into an empty net first time.
    • 38' The game in a bit of a lull at the moment...I wouldn't blame some of the home fans going out and getting their half-time cuppa early.
    • 35' Lampard under pressure from a sliding challenge from Ghaly can only sky over a shot after a typical run into the box.
    • 33' Well the score may have changed but the pattern of play has not it is still a case of Chelsea trying to break past the Derby "bus" that is parked in their own box.
    • 30' Kalou and then Anelka in quick succession can't get on the end of a couple of decent Chelsea crosses.
    • 29' Kenny Miller of all people gets his head on a Lewis free kick and gets it on target - the problem was it was too straight though and Cudicini saves with ease.
    • 28' GOAL CHELSEA - Lampard calmly places the ball home after sending Carroll the wrong way. It was a clear penalty too and a silly trip for Leacock as Lampard was moving away from goal.
    • 27' PENALTY FOR CHELSEA - Leacock trips up Lampard in the box...
    • 25' Nice move by Chelsea down the left - Kalou chips it into the box and then Ashley Cole with one touch looks to tee it up for Joe Cole but the winger can't direct his half volley and it goes wide.
    • 22' And hand ball from Makelele gives Derby a free-kick in a central position 35 yards out. Lewis can only fire it straight at the wall though.
    • 19' Ballack hammers the ball into the next from the edge of the area but he was JUST offside.
    • 18' First sub and now first booking McEveley sees yellow for a bad foul on Cole (Joe)
    • 17' Early blow for Derby - they have been forced into a change - Stubbs fell awkwardly after shielding the ball from Anelka and has had to make way - Leacock comes in.
    • 15' Cole again races down the right wing (where he is playing tonight with Kalou on the left) and moves all the way into the box but his cross is too close to Carroll.
    • 14' Chelsea's final ball needs to be a bit better - they just worked the ball well from right to left but Cole's cross was too hard.
    • 11' Derby have settled into this match a bit now but you still feel it is going to be a long, LONG night for Paul Jewell's side.
    • 9' Marc Edworthy has had a bang on the head and has had to return to the pitch with a bloody "Terry Butcheresque" bandage and a jersey without a number.
    • 6' STUNNING SAVE by Carroll - he denies Cole from point blank range after a Lampard flick on but the Chelsea man was offside anyway.
    • 5' And now Kenny Miller has a little half chance but his half volley goes well wide.
    • 3' OFF THE POST FROM LAMPARD - and he really should have scored too - Kalou slipped him in behind the defence and just needed to side foot home from inside the box but he rolled it onto the inside of the post.
    • 1' Derby already on the back foot in the early stages - Edworthy has to be alert to get in a tackle after Kalou nearly got on the end of a low cross.
    • 1' And we are underway....
    • - For Derby - Robbie Savage is back - he will be part of a five man midfield with Kenny Miller playing up front on his own.
    • - The big team news is that Didier Drogba is left out again, although he is on the bench. Andriy Shevchenko is also on the pine with Anekla, Kalou, J Cole and Lampard all starting. Ashley Cole replaces Wayne Bridge - Carlo Cudicini remains in goal with Cech injured.
    • - Welcome from Stamford Bridge as Chelsea look to bounce back from defeat against Barnsley with a win over Derby (well they couldn't have asked for an easier game could they?)
