Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of the Champions League clash between Chelsea and Juventus. If the holders avoid defeat against the Group H leaders they will book their spot in the last 16. Kick off 20.00 GMT.

CHELSEA CHANGE: Kante goes off injured. Loftus-Cheek on.

SUPER SAVE! Szczesny flings himself to his right to get a fingertip to James' low strike from the far side of the area. Rudiger meets the resulting corner but guides his header wide.

VIDEO: Chelsea open the scoring.

There was a VAR check on that Chelsea goal but the update to the rule means it rightly stands.

An incredible clearance! Thiago Silva charges back towards his own goal-line and hooks it to safety after Morata had raced into the box and lifted a lobbed shot beyond Mendy.

Boom!

GOAL! The hosts have the breakthrough. Juventus fail to deal with another corner and Chalobah is able to turn and rifle a shot into the back of the net.

James goes direct for goal from the left-wing free kick and almost catches the keeper out at the near post. Szczesny does get there though and is able to beat it to safety.

Cuadrado is booked for hooking down Hudson-Odoi after the Chelsea man had looked set to wriggle free down the left.

*Chortle

Rudiger ghosts into space on the left but drags a miscued shot right across the face of goal.

Chelsea are still the side on the front foot despite a slight improvement from Juventus. Not much for either keeper to do so far though.

UEFA STAT: Juventus have won each of their last three away games against English opponents in the UEFA Champions League, beating Manchester City in 2015 and Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United in 2018. If they win this game, they will become the first team to win four consecutive away games against English opponents in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League.

Juventus are not defending corners well. Cuadrado rushes a clearance behind after a left-wing delivery had somehow been left to fly right across the six-yard box without being turned home. The corner from the right is just missed by the head of Chilwell and Chalobah can only nudge wide after being surprised it made its way to him.

UEFA STAT: Chelsea's last 10 games against Italian opponents in the UEFA Champions League have seen the Blues record only one victory (D3 L6), beating Napoli 4-1 in March 2012. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in all 10 games in this run, conceding 21 goals in total.

It's been all Chelsea early doors. Juventus have barely made it out of their own half.
