A late chance for Vidi after Zappacosta concedes a free-kick on the right but Morata is back on defensive duty to clear the danger.
90' +1
The fourth official has signalled three minutes of additional time.
89'
Vidi have not let their heads drop and are continuing to throw players forward in chase of an equaliser but it seems unlikely that they will deny Kepa a clean sheet.
87'
Hazard steals the ball in midfield and feeds a pass through to Morata, who charges to the byline and drills a low ball across the face of goal that nobody can stab home.
85'
Vidi have certainly given Chelsea plenty to think about and Sarri will want to see improvements in the coming games, as a better side could have made the Blues pay.
83'
M. Pátkai enters the game and replaces A. Hadžić.
A. Hodžić enters the game and replaces G. Milanov.
Double change for Vidi, the first of which sees Patkai introduced for Hadzic.
Hodzic has also come on, taking the place of the lively Milanov.
WHAT A SAVE! Huge moment for Vidi as Kovacs bursts into room and drills a low shot that Kepa needs to get a strong hand to, with Moses then clearing the loose ball inside the six-yard box to prevent an equaliser.
81'
Chelsea are now cruising towards their second consecutive win in the Europa League but, just like against PAOK, it has been far from convincing.
79'
Time is running out for Vidi to mount a comeback and, in truth, there has been little to suggest they could actually beat Kepa. A few decent moves but not too much to get excited about.
77'
I. Kovács enters the game and replaces S. Huszti.
OFF THE POST! Hazard clips a free-kick from the left into the area where Barkley rises above the defenders to flick a header towards goal but is denied his first Chelsea goal by the woodwork.
First change of the game for the visitors, who bring on Kovacs for Hustzi.
Minute
Description
74'
V. Moses enters the game and replaces Willian.
Third and final change for Chelsea as Moses takes to the field to replace Willian.
72'
A real kick in the teeth for Vidi, who were within tocuhing distance of a famous result. They have done tremendously well but it did always feel like a Chelsea goal was inevitable.
70'
Álvaro Morata has scored a goal for Chelsea! Assist by Willian.
GOAL! 1-0 Chelsea! Fabregas plays a superb pass over the top to Willian, who flicks a header on at the near post for Morata to smash home with a single touch.
A brilliant attacking move for Chelsea finally breaks down Vidi's resilient defence. Willian has the assist but Fabregas, as he often does, created the opportunity.
68'
Nego, formerly of Charlton, has been Vidi's best player this evening and he continues to pop up in dangerous positions. He has certainly kept Chelsea on their toes.
66'
Álvaro Morata gets yellow.
R. Barkley enters the game and replaces R. Loftus-Cheek.
Chelsea make their second change, introducing Barkley for Loftus-Cheek.
Morata lets his frustration boils over as he loses his cool following a tussle with Juhasz and is booked for dissent.
63'
Milanov leads another charge for Vidi as they grow in confidence but they cannot test Kepa, instead winning a corner which comes to nothing.
61'
OVER! Vidi continue to have half chances to test Chelsea and Milanov shifts the ball onto his left foot before lashing an effort way over Kepa's net.
60'
An hour gone in West London and still nothing to separate the two sides. Vidi deserve credit for their efforts but Chelsea have been very poor.
58'
Hadzic is penalised for handball right on the edge of the box on the right side, giving Hazard the chance to deliver. However, his cross is too powerful and is wasted.
56'
G. Milanov gets yellow.
It is perhaps earlier than Chelsea would have wanted to turn to Hazard but it shows just how poor the hosts have been this evening.
Milanov becomes the third Vidi player to be booked after pulling back Willian on the halfway line.
54'
E. Hazard enters the game and replaces Pedro.
Chelsea are in need of inspiration and Sarri turns to Hazard, who takes the place of Pedro.
52'
Once again, Chelsea's corner comes to nothing and the Blues have to start their attack all over again.
51'
Chelsea win a free-kick in a decent position on the right side and Willian curls a delivery into the middle, where Cahill's touch is deflected behind for a corner.
47'
SAVE! Nego begins the second half as he finished the first by causing Chelsea problems, striking a fierce shot at goal that Kepa is forced to push away.
46'
Vidi get the action restarted for the second period.
45'
Another corner is wasted by Chelsea, who have been disappointing in the first half.
HALF TIME: CHELSEA 0-0 VIDI
44'
S. Huszti gets yellow.
Hustzi, tracking back from an attacking position, clips the heels of Kovacic and earns a yellow card.
43'
SAVE! Nego is proving to be a thorn in the side of Chelsea's defence as he threatens again, cutting inside from the right and striking a poor shot that Kepa easily gathers.
41'
Now it's time for Vidi to have strong appeals at the other end as Nikolov charges through the defence and is brought down by Cahill just outside the box but the referee waves for play to continue.
40'
Warning signs for Chelsea as there is miscommunication between Kepa and Christensen, which allows Nego to latch onto a long ball and get his toe to the ball. Fortunately for the hosts there is no threat to their goal.
39'
NO PENALTY! Loftus-Cheek bursts into the box and is bundled over by a clumsy challenge from Vinicius. The referee is not interested in the protests though and instead gives a corner, which again comes to nothing.
38'
Morata's chance was certainly the best of the match and his woeful miss brings back memories of Fernando Torres' infamous effort against Manchester United shortly after his arrival at Chelsea.
35'
Superb work from Loftus-Cheek who latches onto a through ball and weaves through the defence before being crowded out and winning a corner.
33'
Chelsea get another chance from a corner and Willian floats his delivery into the middle where it is easily headed away by Nego.
31'
Vidi have also offered very little but it is no more than you would expect.
29'
For all of Chelsea's dominance, the Blues have been disappointing and wasteful in the final third. There seems to be no urgency in their approach.
27'
The hosts have a free-kick from a central position quite a way out from goal and Chelsea opt for a training ground routine, as Willian clips a ball over the top to Morata but he cannot get onto the end of it.
25'
Chelsea win another corner but the delivery floats over the head of Cahll and out to the opposing side of the pitch, where the Blues are forced back.
23'
SAVE! Chelsea have their first shot on target as Pedro fires an effort from outside the box but it is a comfortable save for Tujvel.
22'
Pedro is looking bright but he cannot find the room to test the goalkeeper in his latest surge forward, as Vidi's defence crowds him out.
20'
Vidi have their backs against the wall and there is plenty of room in the wide areas to exploit, although Chelsea are yet to capitalise.
18'
All the play is for Chelsea at the moment but they are yet to find a breakthrough. Morata's woeful miss pretty much sums up his woes at the moment.
16'
MISS! Superb build-up play hands Morata a glorious opportunity to take the lead and he has the goal at his mercy after rounding the keeper but he hits his effort wide of the mark.
14'
L. Négo gets yellow.
Nego earns the game's first booking for pulling the shirt of Loftus-Cheek, who has to go to the sidelines to get a new one.
For all of Chelsea's pressure, the hosts are yet to test Tujvel between the sticks for Vidi.
12'
Chelsea are starting to find room to fire at goal but Willian's shot is deflected behind for a corner. The Blues go short but the opportunity is wasted.
10'
OVER! Emerson weaves his way through the defence and breaks into space but fires his effort over the top of the crossbar.
8'
The first corner is flicked on by Juhasz before being headed over the bar by Emerson and the second set-piece is then dealt with easily.
7'
Vidi hit Chelsea on the counter and Milanov tries to feed a low cross into the middle but Cahill puts the ball behind for a corner.
3'
Chelsea are moving the ball around well in the opening minutes and have not allowed Vidi to get any time in possession.
1'
We are underway at Stamford Bridge, where the hosts get the action started.
Willian's first delivery is met by the head of Cahill and is pushed behind by Tujvel for another corner. The Brazilian goes towards the near post this time and is headed away to the edge of the area, where Zappacosta lashes an effort way over the bar.
Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Europa League clash between Chelsea and Vidi, where the Blues host the Hungarian champions at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are unbeaten in nine matches this season and won their opening Europa League group stage match against PAOK, although they only one by a single goal. Maurizio Sarri will be hoping for a more comfortable result this evening in West London.
Hungarian champions Vidi, meanwhile, have won all three of their domestic matches since being defeated at home by BATE Borisov in the opening matchweek of the Europa League. Very little will be expected of Marko Nikolic's side, who are playing English opposition for the first time since 1985.
Vidi XI (4-3-2-1) Tomas Tujvel; Attila Fiola, Roland Juhasz, Paulo Vinicius, Stopira; Loic Nego, Anel Hadzic, Boban Nikolov; Szabolcs Huszti, Georgi Milanov; Marko Scepovic.
Chelsea subs: Willy Caballero, Eden Hazard, Victor Moses, Marcos Alonso, N'Golo Kante, Ethan Ampadu, Ross Barkley.
Vidi subs: Adam Kovacsik, Krisztian Tamas, Szilveszter Hangya, Istvan Kovacs, Mate Patkai, Zsombor Berecz, Armin Hodzic.
Sarri completely overhauls his squad with eight changes from the side that draw 1-1 with Liverpool, with only Kepa, Willian and Kovacic retaining their spots. Loftus-Cheek makes his first start of the season in midfield, where Fabregas also gets a chance.
Vidi make just one change that defeated Diosgyor in the Hungarian League on Sunday, with Nikolov coming into the side and Kovacs dropping to the bench.
Chelsea XI (4-3-3): Kepa Arrizabalaga; Davide Zappacosta, Gary Cahill, Andreas Christensen, Emerson; Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Cesc Fabregas, Mateo Kovacic; Pedro, Alvaro Morata, Willian.
Chelsea have had the lion's share of possession and have put Vidi under a consistent amount of pressure but they have been poor in the final third, with Morata someone missing the Blues' best chance of the game. The Hungarian side have looked dangerous on the counter, particularly in the latter stages of the half, and will be delighted with how things have gone so far.
Sarri certainly will not be happy with his side's performance in the final third and may look to his bench in the second period for inspiration, while Vidi will need to be more effective with the half-chances they are earning if they are to secure a historic result.
Chelsea take all three points against Vidi but the Hungarian champions made the Blues work hard, with Morata exercising his demons with a winning goal to end his drought and redeeming himself for a woeful first-half miss. Vidi did have chances though and forced Kepa into action on a number of occasions, so can go home with their heads held high.
Chelsea extend their unbeaten run under Sarri to ten matches and will be confident of extending that run against Southampton this weekend, with their next Europa League clash coming later this month against BATE Borisov. Vidi, meanwhile, will hope to take points off PAOK when they travel to Greece.
Thanks for joining our coverage today. Until next time, goodbye.
