We're underway at Stamford Bridge.
After a rocky patch in their campaign in October, Chelsea appear to be firing on all cylinders once again. Antonio Conte's men are unbeaten in their six matches in all competitions, including their 3-1 triumph over Newcastle at the weekend. Conte will be determined to end the group stage on top of the table - therefore expect his side to go for the kill to knock out a potential rival for the Champions League crown.
Chelsea are through to the next stage of the Champions League, but a win this evening will send them through as winners of Group C. Atletico need to win to have any hope of qualifying for the knockout round. They're two points behind Roma in second place and the Spanish outfit know that even a win in London this evening may not be good enough.
Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the Champions League clash between Chelsea and Atletico Madrid at Stamford Bridge.
Diego Simeone's men are unbeaten in their last 13 matches in all competitions. However, the majority of those results were draws that have cost them in LaLiga and the Champions League. They have won their last four matches, including their 2-0 triumph over Roma last time out in the competition, and will need a similar performance this evening against the Blues to have a hope of qualifying.
The team news has been announced and we'll start with the home side.
Chelsea subs: Caballero, Rudiger, Alonso, Drinkwater, Pedro, Willian, Batshuayi.
ATLETICO MADRID (4-4-2): Oblak; Gimenez, Savic, Hernandez, Filipe Luis; Koke, Partey, Gabi, Saul; Torres, Griezmann.
Atletico Madrid subs: Moya, Godin, Carrasco, Correa, Vrsaljko, Vietto, Gameiro.
Chelsea have made three changes from their win over Newcastle last time out. Gary Cahill, Davide Zappacosta and Tiemoue Bakayoko all come into the fold for the Blues this evening. Eden Hazard and Alvaro Morata continue to spearhead the attack.
Simeone has made three changes from the side that defeated Real Sociedad at the weekend. Stefan Savic, Lucas Hernandez and Fernando Torres all start, with Angel Correa, Diego Godin and Kevin Gameiro dropping to the bench.
STAT ATTACK! Atlético Madrid have won only one of their four away games in the Champions League against English opposition. However, their only victory came against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in 2014 in a 3-1 triumph.
STAT ATTACK! Chelsea have scored in each of their last 25 home games in the Champions League. The last time they failed to find the net was in April 2011 against Manchester Utd (0-1).
The players are out on the pitch, so we should be underway shortly.
HALF-TIME: CHELSEA 0-0 ATLETICO MADRID
It's goalless at the break between Chelsea and Atletico Madrid at Stamford Bridge. The Blues have come closest to breaking the deadlock, with Jan Oblak needing to be on top form to deny Davide Zappacosta and Alvaro Morata. Diego Simeone's men need to win to have any chance of qualifying, but have not mustered an opening at goal, much to the frustration of the Argentine. The Spanish side have to improve in the second half.
The players are back out for the second half, so we should be underway again shortly.
ATLETICO MADRID ARE OUT OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!
FULL-TIME: CHELSEA 1-1 ATLETICO MADRID
Roma held out for their win therefore Chelsea finish second in the group, while Atletico Madrid are eliminated from the Champions League following the 1-1 draw this evening. Saul Niguez gave Diego Simeone's men hope, but Stefan Savic's own goal sealed their fate. They will now compete in the Europa League, while the Blues face the prospect of facing a top-ranked side in the next phase of the competition.
