...Cudicini dives full length to his left to push the ball away, great save by the Chelsea goalkeeper

Koumas does well on the edge of the box to create space for himself again. Koumas has the chance to shoot and it takes a slight deflection...

...Hoult again does well to come out and claim ahead of De Lucas

Zola's ball into the box is cushioned down by Hassalbaink for De Lucas to run on to...

Chelsea spread the ball around nicely, in control of the game

A ball over the top finds Zola on the edge of the box. He holds the ball up well and waits for the run of Hasselbaink before playing the square ball...

Roberts creates space for himself and comes forward, but he holds on to the ball for too long and is closed down

Zola took the return ball in his stride and superbly placed his shot in the bottom right hand corner, giving Hoult no chance. 0-2!

GOAL!!!!!

...Hoult prodcues another good save to block Hasselbaink's shot with his feet and the Baggies survive

West Brom finally showing some attacking desire in the second period

...somehow Dichio heads AWAY from goal rather than towards it. Very bizarre

Koumas finds Roberts at the back stick and he heads back across for Dichio...

On this evidence, West Brom deserve to be on their way back to the First Division - we can only pray for the merest hint of excitement in the second period

The only bright spot was the goal, well worked from the corner but the Baggies defence went to sleep.

That was one of the worst halves of football this season. Very little quality, very little goalmouth action

And there goes the half-time whistle

Le Saux fells Roberts on the right flank - a chance to deliver into the box but Terry flicks clear ahead of Gregan

Three minutes of stoppage time to be added

Stanic crosses into the box, Sigurdsson wins the header and eventually West Brom clear

Zola's ball into the box goes to no-one. Hoult claims

It's a cracker in the Scottish CIS Cup final. If only we could say ther same about this game

Melchiot tries to put Hasselbaink through, only for the offside flag to be raised

Lampard tries a shot from 20 yards but it's straight at Hoult

Chelsea deserve the advantage - surely West Brom will show more attacking desire now?

Le Saux fizzed the ball into the box and Stanic made a fine run to the near post, and made no mistake in flicking the ball into the back of the net with his head. Chelsea lead!

GOAL!!!!!

Chambers does well against Zola but has to give away a corner. Le Saux takes from the right and Stanic is there...

Koumas shows a rare bit of skill to bring the ball forward... before running the ball out of play

Gregan hopelessly runs the ball out on play for a throw. Melchiot tries a long one but the ball ends up with Hoult

West Brom really are an awful side. Very little invention, very little class

Free-kick to Chelsea this time, in the centre circle, taken short

Morris blocks off the run of Wallwork mid-way inside the Chelsea half. The ball is chipped into the box but Terry can head clear

...a tame effort from Zola, straight into the hands of Hoult

Hasselbaink is dragged down by Chambers just outside the box - this is dangerous. It's just to the right, and Zola shoots...

West Brom give the ball away cheaply - but Gudjohnsen then plays an appalling ball to absolutely nobody. Terrible ball

Le Saux plays the ball down the wing, only for the offside flag to go up against Gudjohnsen

Gudjohnsen almost gets through on goal, but Hoult is alive to the danger and comes out to claim

Roberts tries a quick long throw to Roberts, but Melchiot guides the ball back to his keeper

Chelsea win a string of corners, but eventually Hoult punches to safety

...the onrushing Hoult makes a fine save, pushing Hasselbaink's powerful shot over the crossbar

A defensive error gifts the ball the Hasselbaink. The Dutchman shows a turn of pace to sprint though on goal and has the chance to break the deadlock...

A short spell of pressure for the home side, until Hughes tries to hook a cross over his shoulder and only finds the gloves of Cudicini

Corner to Chelsea on the right. Le Saux delivers - straight into the hands of Hoult

Only one tame, off-target shot in the opening 20 minutes. Dismal stuff

Flag goes up for offside against Hughes after Chambers' ball over the top

Terry plays a fine ball over the top for Gudjohnsen in the box, but his control is poor and that will be a goal-kick

Udeze does brilliantly to nip past two defenders on the left flank, but the final ball is poor with three players waiting in the box and Cudicini collects

West Brom are forced into a double change. Darren Moore and Derek McInnes are replaced with James Chambers and Ronnie Wallwork

Now Derek McInnes is struggling

Even the atmosphere is flat - it's a dull, dull game

Moore is stretchered off

Moore looks in trouble, his right knee the problem

Hasselbaink and Moore collide on the left flank - the Baggies defender stays down and needs treatment

Chelsea win a free-kick for a push by Moore, taken short

Udeze crosses from the left, but it's poor and behind for a goal-kick

A tight start to this game, neither side able to take control in the early stages

Roberts wins a free-kick in the centre circle. Clement plays it long into the box but the Chelsea defence can deal

Moore is wasteful with a long ball that goes straight out of play for a throw

...but Roberts can't get a decent connection on the shot, and although Cudicini scrambled across his goal it was always rolling wide of his right-hand post

Balis makes good progress down the right flank, gets to the byline and pulls the ball back across the face of goal. There's no-one there but the clearance only goes as far as Roberts on the edge of the box...

West Brom get the game started

Graeme Le Saux and Mario Stanic are restored to Chelsea's starting line-up while Marcel Desailly shrugged off a hip injury but had to be content with a place on the bench

Jason Roberts returns from suspension. Megson drops seven-goal leading scorer Daniele Dichio to the bench to accommodate Roberts while full-backs Igor Balis and Neil Clement also return

West Brom know that defeat against Chelsea could well end their survival hopes, while Claudio Ranieri's men need a victory in their bid for Champions League football. Join us live from 16.05 GMT.
