Chelsea vs Crystal Palace LIVE: FA Cup result, final score and reaction today

38 mins: Oh, that is shameful from Havertz.

The German gallops into the penalty area and goes down after skipping beyond Guehi. There was absolutely NO contact and referee Anthony Taylor brilliantly spots it.

He books Havertz. Deservedly so.

38 mins: Chelsea have been warned. That was the best opportunity of the game and it fell to a Palace shirt.

Thomas Tuchel will want to see more from his own side in the final third. They have been very quiet so far.

36 mins: BEST CHANCE OF THE GAME!

Eze sends the free-kick in from the far side and when Christensen heads it away to the edge area Kouyate volleys it goalward but Mendy gets down smartly to parry it away.

Andersen follows it up with an effort of his own which Mendy is equal to as well, but the Palace man was offside anyway.

36 mins: Schulpp and Mateta double up on Jorginho and snatch the ball off him midway inside the Chelsea half. Schlupp tries to instantly slide through Zaha but Rudiger cuts it out.

Chelsea are still a little disorganised here though and Palace earn a free-kick which Eze is preparing to send into the box.

34 mins: Chelsea probing, searching for a way through this stubborn Palace defence.

Jorginho tries to find Azpilicueta out wide but Schlupp quickly comes across to hack it away from danger.

Chelsea then work themselves into a decent area as Jorginho lays it off for Mount on the edge of the box... only for the England international to sky his effort over the top.

31 mins: Werner does excellently down the left as he outpaces Ward before sending a cross to the back post for Azpilicueta. The Spaniard is there to meet it but barely makes any contact with the ball as he slices it harmlessly away for a goal kick.

The game finally heating up a bit now.

30 mins: Andersen intercepts another through ball towards Werner. This time he can only turn it behind for a corner to Chelsea.

James sends it into the box and Ward powers it behind for another corner. Take two, Mr James.

In it comes again and this time it’s Zaha who scoops it away. Palace then try to break but the pass through to the onrushing Zaha is too far in front of him.

28 mins: A glimpse of goal! Almost a chance for Palace. Eze clips the central free-kick over the high Chelsea line and for a moment it looks like Andersen is going to meet it, but Mendy just gets there ahead of the centre-back.

28 mins: The Palace fans in fine voice at Wembley. Safe to say it isn’t for anything that has happened on the pitch so far. There really has been very little to shout about.

Eze draws a foul from Mason Mount. The Chelsea midfielder needs to be a little careful, that’s a few free-kicks he has given away already.

26 mins: Kovacic fails to last half an hour. He limps off and is replaced by the talented Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
