Rennes are not sitting back but they are not seeing much of the ball either.What a miss! How on earth are Chelsea not in front?! Callu Hudson-Odoi whips in a perfect low cross from the right and unmarked Timo Werner should be there to simply sweep the ball home unmarked. Instead he blasts it way, way over the bar and probably into orbit.Rennes now have had a kick inside the Chelsea half. Now they need to build an attack. Baby steps for the hosts who have been given the run-around so far.News from the other game has seen Ivan Rakitic score for Sevilla in Krasnodar, that means as it stands Chelsea will be going through even if they can only draw this evening.Rennes have weathered that early Chelsea storm and have come into the game a little bit. Chelsea are still calling the shots but their attacks have looked a little blunt in the last few minutes. Rennes continue to sit back but it's not a flat back five defending as they still look to match Chelsea's 4-3-3. Chelsea continue to knock the ball about albeit with not much purpose right now.Lovely goal, this. Mason Mount plays a wonderful forward pass from inside his own half over the Rennes defence and it allows Callum Hudson-Odoi to get in behind before slotting almost effortlessly under the Rennes stopper.What a save that is! Chelsea are pushing for what would be a deserved 2-0 lead and nearly grab that second goal. Ben Chilwell cuts the ball back for Mason Mount eight yards out, but his stabbed effort is brilliantly saved by Alfred Gomis leaping to his near post to push the balll away.Rennes' best chance. After Kurt Zouma blocks a shot inside the box, but the ball falls for Lea SilikiChelsea have taken their foot off the gas it seems as we approach the final few minutes of the first half, Rennes are seeing a lot more of the ball now but are not doing too much with it.Mendy is called into action in the Chelsea goal though as he is forced to dive down low to deny Serhou Guirassy.The opportunity is wasted though due to hesitancy with Thiago Silva cutting out a squared pass on the edge of the box.There is taking your foot off the gas and there is falling asleep behind the wheel. Absolute careless from Ben Chilwell whose really poor pass back is latched onto by a Rennes attacker.Good start to the half for Chelsea. Timo Werner heads home from a Cesar Azpilicueta cross curled to the back post after a swift attack from midfield featuring some quick neat passes. However it is ruled out, correctly, for offside.Rennes ended the first half arguably the better side and they have not started this period that badly either. It remains quite an even contest but you just fancy Chelsea's quality is going to see them through this evening still. The hosts are still struggling to put much pressure on the Chelsea defence. Hamari Traore is the first to make the Chelsea defence earn their corn, with Hamari Traore's near post shot from the edge of the box well blocked behind by Thiago Siva. A draw for this evening has been taken off the table for Chelsea, for now at least. Wanderson has equalised for Ludogorets at home to Sevilla, but the Blues would still progress to the last-16 if they win.Since Werner had that header ruled out for offside, Chelsea have not really looked the same in attack. You still sense a second Blues goal will kill the game, but there are little signs of that materialising right now.Romain del Castillo is Rennes' first change as he comes on in a like-for-switch to replace James Lea Siliki.Right on cue. Kante replaces Mason Mount, while Giroud has the fresh legs to replace Tammy Abraham.Double change for Chelsea, with Kai Havertz and Hakim Ziyech replacing Mateo Kovacic and Callum Hudson-Odoi.Eduardo Camavinga departs to make way for Clement Grenier as Rennes continue to press for an equaliser.84min: Just to clarify, with Sevilla still drawing 1-1 in Krasnodar, Chelsea are on course to reach the last-16 of the Champions League.There was only going to be one way Rennes would score this evening and that was through set-pieces. Finally they make one count as Serhou Guirassy leaps hightest inside the box to head powerfully past Edouard Mendy and put a road block in the path of Chelsea's progression.
