Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE digital coverage of tonight's early Champions League kick-off, as Zenit welcome Chelsea to the Gazprom Arena. Team news to follow...

Kepa makes a great one-on-one save to deny Malcolm pulling the score level.

Malcolm drives at Chelsea's back line but his shot is blocked and out for a corner.

Zenit are testing Chelsea now after the early domination from the visitor's.

Azmoun made a great run down the left-hand side and would have been thouhg on goal, but Kuzyaev's attempted pass to slip him in was crucially intercepted by Azpilicueta.

Claudinho looks to bend one towards Kepa's goal from 25 yards out but its high and wide.

Zenit are enjoying a decent spell of possession for the first time this game.

The ball is cleared but only as far as Barrios, whose long-range shot is deflected behind for another corner.

Zenit get the ball in Chelsea's penalty area for the first time, but Azpilicuata heads it behind for a corner.

It looks as though Reece James has been deployed as a central midfielder in this game, with Hudson-Odoi playing right-wing back. Saul seems to be occupying the opposite wing.

The ball is floated in to Lukaku from Saul, who tries to head it back across goal to Werner, but he's offside.

Barrios overplays the ball in his own box, is dispossessed and the loose ball falls to Mason Mount whose cross is deflected out for a corner.

Barkley looks to slip Werner in but there's slightly too much weight behind the ball and its picked up by the keeper.

Lukaku looks for Werner inside but his cross is intercepted by Karavaev.

What a start! Timo Werner taps in at the back post from a corner!

We're underway

COUNTDOWN: Five minutes until this one gets underway.

Thomas Tuchel spoke about his team selection in his pre-match media duties.

Group H is all but decided, however Chelsea still have something to play for which could prove to be crucial in the knockout stages.

Both Chelsea and Juventus are through, but Juventus will finish first if they win and Chelsea do not, or if Juventus draw and Chelsea lose.

Chelsea sit top at the moment, so as long as they match the Italians result, they'll stay there as the group stages are concluded.

Zenit will finish third.

The last time these two sides played each other in the return fixture, Chelsea ran out 1-0 winners at Stamford Bridge.

Romelu Lukaku scored the game's only goal.

Some pre-match trivia for you.

Can Zenit make it three out of three against English opposition?

Thomas Tuchel has made eight changes to his Chelsea side who suffered defeat on Saturday to West Ham, most notably Romelu Lukaku making his first start since returning from injury.

The Blues need to match Juventus' result tonight to finish top of Group H.
