Play by play
- 94'
FULL-TIME: The whistle blows and unbelievably that result means all four of the 'big four' have drawn this weekend. West Ham could even have won it at the death but they will be more than pleased with this point. Chelsea though may be wishing they could play all their games away from Stamford Bridge.
- 93'
Bellamy is withdrawn to make way for David Di Michele.
- 90'
Behrami comes through the middle and threads it to Cole in a superb position. He speeds towards goal and, with just Cech to beat, looks poised to score with a low shot but the Czech keeper makes a great save to deny him.
- 89'
Deco's cross from the left is crying out for a Chelsea body to throw themselves at it but instead it arcs straight in to the welcoming clutch of Robert Green.
- 88'
Lampard has a loud shout for a penalty as Lucas Neill brings him to earth with a trip. It looked a definite penalty and the Hammers got out of jail there.
- 87'
Lampard's free-kick beats the wall but not Green who is securely behind his pacy effort.
- 86'
Meanwhile Luis Boa Morte comes on for Collison.
- 86'
Davenport gives away a free-kick in a dangerous area with a careless handball under pressure from Anelka.
- 85'
Lofted pass from Deco towards Drogba but there is just too much pace on the pass and West Ham have a goal-kick.
- 82'
Bosingwa picks out Kalou with an accurate pass but the substitute is almost on the eighteen yard line and the ball is head height. He fails to test Green with the long-range header.
- 80'
Bellamy wins a corner and takes it himself but Drogba is first to the ball when it comes down and he boots it away.
- 79'
Lampard over-hits his pass towards Ashley Cole and the ball goes out for a West Ham goal-kick.
- 77'
Rob Green almost punches the ball in to his own goal as he went for a Chelsea corner. A terrible attempt and he was grateful to see it headed away by Scott Parker on the goal-line. Lucky for Green there.
- 76'
John Terry and Craig Bellamy chase the same ball and seemed to be tugging at each others shirts.
- 75'
Kalou gets straight in to the action as he cuts in from the left but his shot is too close to Green to threaten his goal.
- 73'
Joe Cole comes off and Salomon Kalou replaces him.
- 72'
Deco's long-range shot is charged down by Upson once more who is having another assured game in the West Ham defence.
- 71'
Noble comes off to be replaced with Hayden Mullins.
- 70'
Bellamy tries a rather optimisitic shot from an unlikely angle which goes well wide.
- 69'
Neat play from Parker to find Collison who just keeps the ball in. He plays a cross in from the right but Chelsea are back in numbers to cover it.
- 68'
Cole seemed to grab John Terry's head as he went to ground which is a bit naughty and not really in the festive spirit.
- 67'
Chelsea take, and waste, that corner and another and West Ham can breathe again. For now.
- 66'
Alex wins a corner with a deflected shot. Lampard takes it once more and this time Drogba brings a wonderful save from Green with a volley on the turn. It's another corner for Chelsea.
- 65'
Carlton Cole is appealing loudly (not for the first time) as he believes West Ham were denied a corner. Mike Riley is not interested though.
- 64'
There is nobody waiting in the West Ham box to meet Alex's cross but the ball then breaks to Lampard whose trademark long-range effort is at first spilled by Green who takes it at the second attempt.
