End of match

  • 93'
    FT: Chelsea 4-0 Malmo! A comfortable win to get back on track after the defeat in Turin, but the cost of it will only be revealed when news of the severity of the injuries to Lukaku and Werner is confirmed, with the former's knock looking especially unpleasant. They were excellent throughout and could – maybe should – have had more than four, but it's another home win without conceding a goal in the UEFA Champions League. Job done. Thank you very much and see you next time!

    GOAL for Chelsea! Same result! Jorginho wheels away to a corner to be mobbed by his teammates after converting another cool penalty, powering his strike slightly to Diawara's right as the goalkeeper plunges in the opposite direction. Spot on again from Chelsea's penalty king!

Goaaaaaal!
de Chelsea en el 48'
  • 48'
    GOAL for Chelsea! This move starts just outside the hosts' penalty area on the left, where Hudson-Odoi sets off on a scintillating run that covers most of the length of the pitch and culminates in the midfielder cleverly drawing Nielsen towards him before sending Havertz away inside the penalty area on the left. From a tight angle, his fellow substitute dinks a neat finish beyond the unfortunate Diawara, whose first duty after entering the action is to retrieve the ball from the back of his net!
  • 45'
    Malmo double HT sub: Veljko Birmancevic is recplaced by Malik Abubakari and goalkeeper Diawara on for Dahlin.
  • 45'
    HT: Chelsea 2-0 Malmo! The first half ends with a bittersweet taste for Chelsea. Christensen and Jorginho scored, but Lukaku and Werner were injured. A quiet game for the Blues and completely under control. See you in 15 minutes!
  • 45'
    45+2: Thiago Silva is adjudged to be in an offside position.

    The rain is pouring down here but it's not taken any of the sting out of Chelsea, who are well on top.
  • 33'
    Havetz is flagged for offside.
  • 30'
    Havertz has stepped into Lukaku's spot as the central attacker, but his natural instincts will mean he is more of a false 9, so Chelsea will have to adapt to that.
  • 26'
    Christensen is penalised for a foul on Birmancevic

  • 9'
    GOAL for Chelsea! Chelsea are ahead! Malmo clear a corner from their right, allowing Thiago Silva to pick up possession inside their half to the right of centre. The defender buys himself time with a dummy before curling in a dangerous cross that the unlikely dangerman of Christensen half-volleys powerfully into the turf and beyond Dahlin's dive from inside the penalty area. 1-0!

    Azpilicueta and Christiansen, the two captains, come together for the coin toss and we're about to start!
  • PRVW
    What a great atmosphere at Stamford Bridge! The Champions League anthem is now playing...
  • PRVW
    The teams make their way out here!
  • PRVW
    It's 14 degrees and partly cloudy in London for this one.
  • PRVW
    François Letexier of France is the referee for this one, while Alejandro Hernandez is the VAR.
  • PRVW
    Tuchel absolutely bounded into the stadium when Chelsea arrived just over 15 minutes ago. He has done a wonderful job since taking over here earlier this year.
  • PRVW
    The hosts are also unbeaten in their last six UEFA Champions League matches here, winning four of them.
  • PRVW
    The Malmö starters are the expected ones. Notably, left-back Olsson, who has Euros and World Cup experience, makes his first Champions League start. Another experienced defender, Moisander, starts on the bench, having just recovered from injury.
  • PRVW
    Chelsea have flirted with a 3-5-2 formation of late, but it has left Lukaku and Werner a touch isolated. It seems that Werner will move to the left-hand side tonight, with Mount on the other side, flanking Lukaku.

    Malmo bench: Ellborg (GK), Diawara (GK); Moisander, Eile; Bjorkqvist, Rakip, Gwagis, Nalic; Abubakari.
