19:44: CHELSEA SUBS Malouda comes on for Ramires and Drogba is replaced by Torres as Roberto Di Matteo makes changes with Wednesday's game against Barcelona in mind.
19:40: GOAL! Lampard finds the corner of the Spurs net with a great free-kick from 25 yards. All over now. Surely...?
19:36: CHELSEA GOAL! Neat finish from Ramires who clips the ball past Cudicini. Lovely through ball from Mata.

19:28: Drogba causing a lot of problems for Spurs, whose defenders look fearful every time he gets the ball in their box.

19:18: CHELSEA SUB Luiz was injured in the build-up to the goal and Cahill is on to replace him.
19:16: GOAL! Spurs break, Adebayor goes round Cech who looks to bring him down, but Bale is on hand to slot the ball home. Game on!
19:08: GOAL! Shocking decision, as Mata is adjudged to have scrambled the ball over the line after Cudicini had made a great initial save. Nowhere near to being a goal, as TV replays confirm.

18:37: CHANCE! Terry clears off the line to deny Spurs.
18:33: King does just enough to stop Drogba heading home as he concedes a corner. Nothing comes of it though.
18:29: ALMOST! Kalou picks out Mata as he advances into the penalty area but there is just too much pace on the pass.
18:26: There are some meaty tackles going in. The ball eventually comes to Lennon but his shot is deflected behind for a corner. Kalou is forced to scramble away the resulting flag-kick..

16:10: Drogba fires in a free-kick from around 35 yards out but it clears the bar.
