    • - Thanks for joining us today... two games to enjoy on Sunday, join us then.
    • 90'+2 There goes the final whistle! All over at the Hawthorns and it's a great win for Chelsea, who made it look easy with that burst of goals at the end of the first half!
    • 87' Ooh! Malouda heads over at the far post when he really should find the target!
    • 86' Here comes another Chelsea change... off goes Terry and on comes Ferreira.
    • 82' Ooh! Kim goes so close to pulling one back for the Baggies! He fires a first-time volley just wide of the far post!
    • 78' This will be a yellow for Ivanovic, for a little clip on the heels of Miller.
    • 75' Chelsea make another change now as Anelka is brough off... for Didier Drogba, who comes on to a chorus of boos from the home crowd.
    • 74' Malouda breaks free of the West Brom back line... but he drags his shot well wide of the far post!
    • 72' Carson comes for a cross only to collide with Donk and spill the ball to Anelka! But the Frenchman sees his drive deflected over the bar!
    • 70' Lampard collides with Olsson and both will need a bit of medical attention.
    • 69' Here comes Ballack, on for Kalou, while West Brom bring on Ryan Donk at the expense of Meite.
    • 67' Zuiverloon delivers a teasing cross which Cudicini has to paw away...
    • 65' Michael Ballack looks like he's coming on...
    • 64' Kalou breaks forward, but the Ivorian blazes over the bar just as it opened up a little ahead of him!
    • 60' Teixeira nearly has an immediate impact on the game! He cuts inside Bosingwa before prodding a shot that flies just over Cudicini's bar!
    • 58' And that is the end of Morrison's evening... on comes Teixeira to replace him.
    • 58' Bosingwa blots his copy book with a terrible challenge from behing on Morrison... and he rightly goes into the book
    • 56' Anelka! This time he goes for goal! It's heading in, but Zuiverloon sticks out a leg to make a brilliant block!
    • 55' Deco fires goalwards again moments later, but this time it sails high over the bar!
    • 54' Unselfish play from Anelka... he's on a hat-trick but he still lays off for Deco when perhaps he should have shot himself! Deco's shot is blocked the chance goes begging.
    • 51' Miller pushes the ball past Terry... the England captain's beaten all ends up, so he shoulder barges Miller on his way past! Yellow card!
    • 49' Robinson looks for Valero, but his forward pass is far too strong for the Spaniard and the ball runs out for a goal kick.
    • 47' Morrison runs straight at the heart of the Chelsea defence... but Bosingwa is there to mop up the danger.
    • 46' One change to tell you about... Roman Bednar has been replaced by Kim Do-heon.
    • 46' Back underway at the Hawthorns!
    • 45'+2 THere goes the whistle... and Chelsea head in three goals to the good!
    • 45'+1 GOAL! ANELKA MAKES IT THREE! Kalou finds the Frenchman with a lovely pass... and he's not going to miss when in this kind of form! 3-0 and this one is all over even before half time!
    • 44' Just a minute of added time to be played at the end of the first half.
    • 42' Chelsea have a swagger about their play now...
    • 40' That's a shame... West Brom started so well, but you just get the feeling that this is over as a contest now.
    • 38' GOAL! ANELKA MAKES IT TWO! He's put through from Malouda's header... no one's going to catch him as he bares down on goal... Carson stays on his line so Anelka just waits for him to finally make a move before dinking over him! 2-0 and Chelsea are looking good.
    • 36' Malouda! He's put through by Kalou, but there's no way past Carson this time!
    • 34' GOAL! AND WHAT A GOAL IT IS! Bosingwa cuts inside Koren out on Chelsea right before unleashing an unstoppable drive into the top right hand corner! Carson gets a hand to it, but it's too powerful a strike to keep out! 1-0 Chelsea!
    • 33' Malouda's allowed to run right at the heart of the Baggies' defence now... he unleashes a drive which Carson does well to parry away to safety!
    • 31' Miller attacks Bridge on the right wing now... Bridge looks worried, but this time the powerful Baggies striker can't get past him.
    • 28' Robinson again puts it behind for another Chelsea corner... he's taking no chances at all today, the West Brom full-back.
    • 27' Brilliant stuff from Miller... first he easily beats Terry before a minute later he delivers a dangerous ball into the six yard area that Cudicini has to deal with!
    • 24' Brilliant footwork from Deco to get past Morrison... but his final ball is poor and runs out for a goal kick.
    • 23' 'Super Frank Lampard' sing the Chelsea fans, but his finish wasn't too super that time...
    • 22' Chance for Lampard! He latches onto a brilliant first time ball through from Malouda... Meite does a disappearing act! But Carson stands firm to make the save!
    • 21' Miller brings an 'oooh' out of the crowd with a 30 yard effort... but it's never going to trouble Cudicini, who watches it go high and well wide.
    • 19' It opens up for Malouda now... the Frenchman fancies his chances! But his shot ends up in exactly the same place as Kalou's earlier effort... in the stands.
    • 18' Miller bursts forward once again... this time Terry slides in to make the challenge! He's looking a handful already, Miller....
    • 17' Anelka feeds Lampard who turns the ball out to Kalou! The Ivorian attacks Robinson before letting fly! It's wild though and the ball rockets into the stand behind Carson's goal.
    • 15' Miller breaks forward on the right form Valero's pass... but his final ball is neither a cross nor a shot and the ball rolls behind for a goal kick.
    • 12' Bridge centres towards Malouda... and Robinson takes no chance by putting behind for a corner.
    • 10' Bednar and Terry enjoy a 'coming together' on the floor... that match-up could well prove to be explosive tonight...
    • 9' Malouda clashes with Zuiverloon, but referee Steve Bennett refuses to blow up... the locals don't like that one!
    • 8' Valero now fires goalwards! But the Spaniard drags his effort wide of the mark slightly and Cudicini is not troubled.
    • 4' It's a damp evening in West Bromwich tonight...
    • 2' Look at this! Morrison bursts forward and as it opens up for him a little, he lets fly! Inches over the bar! Great start from the hosts!
    • 1' Here we go! Underway in the Black Country!
    • - Baggies defender Abdoulaye Meite and midfielder James Morrison are back in the side, at the expense of Ryan Donk and Kim Do-Heon.
    • - So, Drogba has to be content with a place on the bench, Nicolas Anelka asked to lead Chelsea's line today. Petr Cech has a calf injury so Carlo Cudicini starts in between the sticks.

    • - Chelsea: Cudicini, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Bridge, Lampard, Mikel, Deco, Kalou, Anelka, Malouda. Subs: Hilario, Ashley Cole, Drogba, Ballack, Sinclair, Ferreira, Mineiro
