23'
Chelsea could easily be 2-0 up here. Villa must regroup quickly.
22'
Great chance from Chelsea. Great 1-2 from Mata and his chip hits the far post. It rebounds to Torres and his shot is again blocked by Baker. Frantic stuff.
21'
Good spell of pressure from Villa here. Ireland and Weimann link well. Cech eventually gathers the cross.
20'
Collins got a good head on it and flashed it over the bar. Good chance.

Villa corner headed clear by Terry. It's out for another corner.

Ireland tries to chip it to Weimann but Cech easily gathers.

John Terry can't keep it in and Villa win a throw. They seem to have weathered the storm since the goal.

Villa coming back into it, Cech slices clear under pressure from a pass back.
13'
Gardner races down the right and whips in a cross but Cech catches easily.

Agbonlahor breaks clear and bares down on goal. His shot flies just wide but the flag had already gone up for offside.
11'
Petr Cech gets his first touch for a Chelsea goal kick.
10'
Back flood Chelsea and with their attack, things look ominous for Villa early on.
9'
Tough on Warnock because it was a brilliant point blank block from Torres' initial shot.
8'
GOAL Chelsea! Torres has his first shot blocked from Mata's square ball. But it falls to Sturridge and he can't miss!

Torres runs at the Villa defence but shows too much of the ball and is easily dispossessed.
6'
Great pass from Lampard finds Kalou in space but Torres puts it out for a goal kick.
5'
Luiz finds Torres with a great ball. He bares down on goal and shoots but it's a smart save from Given. Should have scored to end his Premier League goal drought.
4'
An adventurous starting line-up from Di Matteo but Villa have looked comfortable on the ball early on.
3'
Weimann did well to get round the back and get a cross in but easy for the Chelsea defence to deal with.
