15'
SAVE! Good save from Dahlin as he comes out quickly to block Ziyech shot
13'
The corner is taken short by Chelsea as they look to work the ball into the box, but the attack breaks down
13'
Messy from Dahlin as he spills the ball out for a Chelsea corner
11'
For the most part Chelsea have been clean and tidy in possession, but just can't find that final pass to unlock this Malmo defence
10'
CHANCE! Malmo were nearly in there as Loftus-Cheek got caught in possession and the break was on. Nanasi drove forward with the ball, but couldn't find the angle to get his shot off
6'
So far so good for Malmo, they are working hard as a unit, looking for opportunities to punish Chelsea
3'
Havertz has gone down inside the box and the Chelsea players are calling for penalty, but it's not given
2'
A nice move from Malmo as they work the ball out from the back, moving quickly up the pitch, but the final pass is cut out and the attack breaks down
1st Half
1'
Referee Felix Brych blows his whistle as Chelsea get the game underway at the Eleda Stadion
17:40
Kick-off is less than five minutes away as both sides make their way out onto the pitch
17:35
The Londoners are unbeaten in our past seven meetings with Swedish opposition across all competitions, winning four and drawing three against them. The last three have all been against tonight’s opponents, each ending in a Chelsea victory amounting to nine goals for, one against.
17:30
Despite Lukaku being absent this evening, Chelsea will take confidence in the fact that 34 goals this season have come from 17 different players
17:25
These two sides met a fortnight ago, in a match which saw Chelsea run riot in a four nil thumping at Stamford Bridge. On the night Jorginho grabbed a brace, while Havertz and Christensen also got their names on the score sheet in what turned out to be a routine win for the champions of Europe
17:20
Malmo are back in the big time after six years away, after securing their 21st Swedish title and fifth in the last eight Allsvenskan campaigns. But the Swedish champions have had to do it the hard way having started in the first round of qualifying
17:15
Despite being clear favourites for this evening, Tuchel isn't taking anything for granted "Malmo have nothing to lose. They can play with a lot of freedom, and a lot of courage in front of an emotional crowd. These are the things we have to face."
17:10
Malmo should take some confidence coming into this game having come from behind against Sirius to win 3-2. Substitute Antonio Čolak scored twice in the closing stages taking the Croatian forward to 13 for the season.
17:05
For Chelsea, they can go top if they grab all three points in the early kick-off before Juventus host Zenit St Petersburg. A win this evening would all-but seal the holders' passage through to the knockout stages.
17:00
They may sit top of the Allsvenskan table but Malmo have found the going considerably tougher in the Champions League. The Swedes are yet to score in this season's competition and sit rock bottom with 11 goals conceded in their three games so far.
16:55
And here is the side Chelsea have opted for...

Here is how the hosts are set up for this evening....
