Ballack: Scored opener
FULL-TIME Chelsea win 2-0, but the game was in the balance until Lampard's 87th minute effort. Anthony's dream of a Utd v Chelsea final is alive but they must overcome Liverpool now. Thanks everyone for your views.
90 (+2) mins - Essien 'Goal' Essien puts the ball in the net from a cross but is adjudged off-side, with replays showing it is unlucky.
90 (+1) mins - Fenerbahce corner Fenerbache win a corner on the left and everyone is up apart from the keeper but Cheslea hold firm and clear.
90 mins - Carvalho booked Carvalho is booked for a rash challenge.
89 mins - Bilgin on Bilgin on for Wederson.
89 mins - Injury time Three minutes of injury time are announced.
87 mins - GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Essien crosses from the left after beating off two defenders and Lampard is there in the middle to shoot into the top of the net.
86 mins - Essien booked
85 mins - Joe Cole subbed Malouda comes on for Cole.
84 mins - Lampard shot Lampard has a point-blank effort blocked after good work by Joe Cole.
81 mins - Fenerbahce unlucky Gonul has a shot from the left cleared off the line by the despairing Hilario and then the keeper makes a great save from a Kazim-Richards 30 yard shot. He has earned his corn here.
More views Marc has been back in touch, saying: "Can't believe how many non Chelsea fans there are watching the game tonight, could it be jealousy? Please Avram get Nic on now, he was our saviour against the Gooners so give him his chance now."
Kingsley says: "I pray that Chelsea will come out victorious, because everyone seems to have written us off. I think Anelka should go in for J Cole, I don't want Chelsea to lose this match, because I sacrifice my sleep in far away China to follow your commentary." Thanks for staying up Kingsley.
78 mins - Chelsea free-kick Drogba wins a free-kick 25 yards out in front of goal. He bends the free-kick over the wall but Demirel dives well to his left to save. Good effort and good save. Chelsea take the corner but Fenerbahce clear.
76 mins - Great break Chelsea hit Fenerbahce on the break and Joe cole is almost played through on goal but Demirel is out quickly and just gets to the ball before Cole and clears.
75 mins - Boral on Boral is on for Senturk.
74 mins - Lugano shot Lugano hits a powerful 30 yard shot from the left which is deflected wide by Makelele and also Terry but the ref gives a goal-kick, much to Lugano's dismay.
72 mins - Fenerbahce press Fenerbahce press the Chelsea box but the Blues hold firm. It is very tense here.
71 mins - Carvalho effort Chelsea win a free-kick on the right and the ball is put in the box but it is headed out to Carvalho on the left but he puts his effort from the edge of the box over.
68 mins - Chelsea free-kick Chelsea win a free-kick 35 yards out on the left and Belletti takes but Fenerbache clear.
66 mins - Drogba shot Drogba shoots from 25 yards on the right but his effort rolls easily for the keeper to gather. He seems the only threat for Chelsea at present, with some in the crowd singing: "We're supposed to be at home." Chelsea need a second here.
65 mins - Gonul shot Wederson puts in a looping cross from the right and the ball eventually falls to Gonaul who shoots on the left but his effort is blocked.
64 mins - No chances No more chances as the teams cancel each other out.
More views Michael says: "Chelsea are going to tire themselves out and Fener will get them on the hop!! Hopefully anyway!!" I take it you are a Spurs fan Michael?
Razwan says: "Chelsea will dominate this game until the 70th minute and then Fenerbahce will push them hard for about 10 mins then Anelka will be put on and he will score to make it 2-0. C'mon Chelsea!" Bring on Anelka quick!
60 mins - Kezman on Kezman comes on for Maldonado. Fenerbahce need a goal and have put on a striker for a holding midfielder to try and achieve their aim.
58 mins - Belletti on Belletti comes on for Kalou, with Essien going into midfield and Belletti into the right-back role.
55 mins - Unlucky Ballack plays a dummy on a ball coming into the area from the left and the ball goes through to Drogba who knocks it on for Ballack but the keeper gets to the ball first.
53 mins - Essien cross Essien puts in a powerful cross from the left but Edu clears.
51 mins - Good move Chelsea break quickly and Joe Cole puts in a teasing cross from the left but Kalou can not get on the end of it and Fenerbahce clear.
49 mins - Cole down Joe Cole goes down injured after knocking in a cross and it looks like he will be signalling to come off but he carries on for now.
More views Roman says: "Chelsea need to keep the pressure on and not get complacent if they want to win. Grant needs to bring on Anelka if they don't score in the first 10/15 minutes of the second half. Hoping for a 2-0 win at least and that Liverpool wins."
Sam says: "Anelka is yet to fit into Chelsea. Again he was brought in for the fear of Chelsea not having strikers during the Africa Cup of Nations."

47 mins - Drogba shot Drogba has another effort on goal but his shot is saved by Demirel.
46 mins - Chelsea free-kick Chelsea win a free-kick and Terry heads on in the box but Kalou can not convert. Fenerbahce break down field but Hilario gathers.
45 mins - Re-start Chelsea re-start the game.
English final? In response to Anthony hoping it will be an all-English final, Rach says: "Anthony, It will never be an all English final, it always seems to go all wrong at one stage!!!"
Danny says: "I think it will be an all English final but I can't see Chelsea in the final. My thoughts are a United - Liverpool final after Liverpool beat Arsenal tonight on penalties."
HALF-TIME The teams go in at half-time with Chelsea just in front on away goals after Ballack's fourth minute leveller. It is very tight here and could go either way. It looked like Chelsea would over-run the Turks after a whirlwind start but Fenerbahce weathered the storm and are now right back in this match.
45 mins - Chelsea corner Joe Cole wins Chelsea a corner. Lampard takes but the ref sees a push and blows for Fenerbahce.
45 mins - Injury time One minute of injury time is announced.
43 mins - No chances The game is still in a lull. Chelsea's build-up play from the back is slow, allowing Fenerbache to get men back and tightly mark.
40 mins - Kalou shot Kalou gets away from his marker and gets into the Fenerbahce box but his effort is weak and Demirel gathers easily.
39 mins - Terry header Fenerbahce are coming more into the game and Terry needs to head a cross from the right out.
37 mins - Lull There is a lull in the game as the teams cancel each other out and can not keep possession for long periods.
Anthony's dream Anthony is predicting an all-English final. He says: "Man Utd vs Chelsea in the final, the extra games will push the premiership to the wire and Man Utd will get revenge on a bigger stage for the FA Cup!" I think Chelsea fans will have something to say about that Anthony! Please send your views to: steve.pass@bskyb.com or if you are using the scorecentre you can use the feedback button.
32 mins - Drogba shot Drogba is coming more into the game and shoots from the right after being found by Joe Cole but the keeper saves.
31 mins - Should have scored Fenerbahce win a free-kick 35 yards out and the ball is floated to Lugano in the left-back position in the Chelsea box and he has a free header from 5 yards out but puts his header just wide. He should have scored and it is a massive wake-up call to Chelsea to not get complacent.
30 mins - Senturk shot Senturk shoots from 20 yards out but his left-footed effort goes just wide of the right-upright.
28 mins - Alex down Alex is down on the edge of the box following a Makelele challenge but the ref gives the free-kick the other way.
26 mins - Hilario on Cudicini goes off injured after kicking the ball and is replaced by Hilario. The physio does not come on to see to Cudicini, suggesting he had an injury before the game which he gambled on.
Marc's view Marc says: "Marc Seymour here watching the Sky Sports vidi printer for our game tonight onboard HMS ILLUSTRIOUS out in the Gulf. Unfortunately this is how I have been watching most games in the latter half of the season as our ship is currently on operational tour in the Gulf. Come on Chels - I'm going for a slender 2-0 win tonight that hopefully sets us up third time lucky against the pool. How sweet would that be to travel with Roman back to Russia for the final against UTD. I think Joe will feature heavily tonight as he has tasted Champs League and will relish more. Hope to see Anelka make an appearance also." Thanks for your view Marc and good luck with the rest of your tour - we do appreciate your efforts back here.
21 mins - Drogba effort Drogba has just changed his boots and comes back on to receive a Lampard pass on the right edge of the box. He has a shot and it is just over the bar. Unlucky!
20 mins - Makelele challenge Makelele challenges Deivid and it looks like he is going to get booked but the ref just has a stern word with him and lets it go.
19 mins - Deivid effort Deivid has a go from 30 yards out but it is way wide of the left hand post.
17 mins - Lampard effort The keeper throws the ball straight at Lampard and he has a go but Malonado blocks.
15 mins - Fenerbahce press Fenerbahce win a free-kick in front of goal 35 yards out. The ball falls to Deivid who heads across goal from the left but no-one is there to get on the end of it and Chelsea clear.
13 mins - Almost Ballack tries to feed Lampard in the box but Edu gathers the pass. Unlucky.
10 mins - Blues possession Chelsea enjoy good possession as they continue to dominate the game.
7 mins - Hit post Cole hits the right up-right after getting on the end of a great Kalou cross from the right. Ballack then sends in a shot seconds later but the keeper is down well to save. The Blues are going for the win.
More views Carl says: "In reply to Barry's comment regarding Anelka, I believe he was brought as a direct replacement for Drogba when he moves on at the end of the season."
Danny thinks it will be 3-0 but Michael thinks Fenerbahce will get 2 goals in the second-half to enable the Turks to spring a surprise.
5 mins - Chelsea corner Chelsea win a corner put Fenerbahce clear. It is all Chelsea at the moment.
4 mins - GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ballack puts the Blues in front. He gets on the end of a Lampard cross and nods home from the left across the keeper into the bottom right hand corner.
2 mins - Fenerbahce free-kick Fenerbahce win a free-kick on the left but the ball is nodded back to Cudicini and he clears.
1 mins - Bright start Chelsea make a bright start with Cole releasing a through ball for Drogba but it is too far.
Kick-off The game gets underway.
Barry's view Barry has been in touch questioning the decision to keep Anelka on the bench. He says: "If Anelka was worth so much, why is he again on the subs bench? He is good enough to cost a mint yet not to play at this level!!! What is Grant up to?" We shall see Barry.

My prediction I have seen Fenerbache several times this season and it would be unwise to write them-off but I think Chelsea will progress 3-1 on the night. Please send your views / predictions to: steve.pass@bskyb.com or if you are using the scorecentre you can use the feedback button.
