3m ago 14.41 EDT 10 mins: The ball is played ahead of Emerson Royal’s run into the Chelsea penalty area. He feels Madueke’s arm touch his left shoulder and collapses. I’ve seen them given – but they never should be, and this one is not. Share

5m ago 14.39 EDT 8 mins: Brennan Johnson has had decently promising possession a couple of times so far. The first time he ignored the fact that Cucurella was blocking his path to goal and blasted a shot, well, straight at Cucurella, as if hoping he might just conveniently cease to exist. Then just now he had time and space to measure a cross, but sent the ball floating out of play. Share

8m ago 14.36 EDT 5 mins: Chelsea go close! Jackson is played through, and Vicario half-comes, stops, and gets stuck in no-man’s-land. Jackson’s shot hits him but looks goalwards, until Van de Ven hools it clear but right onto the instep of Cole Palmer, six yards away from a completely open goal. It comes to him very quickly, and somehow ends up going over the bar! View image in fullscreen Vicario embraces Micky van de Ven after clearing the ball off of the line from a Nicolas Jackson effort.

10m ago 14.34 EDT 4 mins: Vicario, the Spurs goalkeeper, has kicked the ball twice so far and has to a greater or lesser degree but not yet a disastrous one messed it up both teams. Share

11m ago 14.33 EDT 2 mins: Not a lot has happened, and all of it hasn’t happened down Tottenham’s right/Chelsea’s left. Share

14m ago 14.30 EDT “A word on 16-year-old Mikey Moore on the bench for Spurs today,” writes Alexandra Ashton. “Won the Under-17 and Under-18 cups last season, played for the Under-21s at 15, and has trained with the first team for the past week after allegedly impressing Postecoglou and the coaching staff. A tricky winger, he may well develop into exactly the sort of player we’ve been missing in the last few months.” Share

17m ago 14.28 EDT The players are out and, as I type, doing performative hand-clasps. Share

22m ago 14.22 EDT I do like the way the home dressing-room at Stamford Bridge has a large-font reminder for any confused players of precisely whose ground they are in.

28m ago 14.16 EDT So five changes for Spurs, which seems quite a lot. James Maddison is on the bench, and Richarlison is back in the starting line-up. Here’s a bit of Ange Postecoglou: Look, it’s about freshening up the team tonight. I thought in general our football was decent the whole game [against Arsenal]. We paid the price for a lack of focus but we fought back in the second half and have shown resilience all year and we’ll need that resilience tonight. Mauricio Pochettino has given 20-year-old Alfie Gilchrist a second start, and has a terrifically young bench: That is the reality that we are living for the whole season and today a higher expression. But we need to be positive and of course the kids are in the club because they want to have the opportunity to go through to the first team. Share

50m ago 13.54 EDT A reminder of what the league table looks like pre-match. Whatever happens tonight Spurs will end it fifth but Chelsea could go up to eighth with a point or more, or down to 10th if they lose by, um, 12 goals or more. Share
