Welcome to Eurosport-Yahoo!'s live coverage of the Premier League clash between Stoke City and Chelsea at the Britannia Stadium!

Jones capitalises on some slack defending from Terry to skip past the Chelsea skipper and force his way into the box, only to lose his composure with a poor final touch!

STAT: Stoke are enjoying 53 per cent of the possession so far in this first half.

Jones powers down the right for Stoke, but Pennant's touch lets him down outwide as the ball runs out of play.

Delap wins a towering header on halfway as another Chelsea move is ended abruptly.

Malouda has a crack with his weaker right foot as the ball drops to him out on the left, but his effort dips over the crossbar.

STAT: After going six games without a win on the road, Chelsea have won three and lost none of their last four Premier League away games.

I cannot get over the quality of that goal from Walters, who showed incredible composure and class in beating Essien and Luiz before drilling his shot beyond Cech!

Essien and Shawcross challenge for the high ball as a corner is whipped over by Lampard from the right, and the defender comes off best.

STAT: Chelsea have won the last seven games against Stoke and the last eight in the league.

GOAL!!!! WALTERS GIVES STOKE THE LEAD! The forward skips past Luiz superbly, before driving to the left byline, cutting inside Essien and powering a clinical finish beyond Cech - what a goal!

Huth concedes a corner, turning the ball behind for the set piece after challenging with Drogba.

Tony Pulis patrols the touchline in very focused fashion as he sports his trademark baseball cap, and he looks very fired up indeed...

David Luiz wins a towering header at the back for the blues, before Lampard brings the ball down and begins to link up the play once more.

Chelsea stroke the ball around at the back, and Ramires whips over a stunning delivery into the box which is not met by anyone in a blue shirt!

Marc Wilson does superbly to hold off Anelka and clear upfield with a strong challenge, and that's superb defending.

Pennant's delivery evades everyone in the box, and Chelsea are able to build from the back now.

Ramires is the culprit as he trips the Stoke winger, and the hosts then win a free kick which Pennant will whip over...

The first half is underway at the Britannia Stadium, and Stoke settle quickly into their stride as Etherington powers down the left and wins a free kick.

In today's lunchtime kick-off, a hat-trick from Wayne Rooney saw Manchester United come from behind to claim a stunning 4-2 Premier League win over West Ham at Upton Park.

Today's referee at the Britannia is Peter Walton. The Northamptonshire offical has shown six red cards this season, including Bolton's Ivasn Klasnic in the Trotters' 2-1 win over Stoke back in October. Only Phil Dowd (7) and Martin Atkinson (9) have sent more players off this term.

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti and defender David Luiz have clinched the Premier League's manager and player of the month awards for March. Centre-back David Luiz, who joined the club from Benfica in January for £21.3m has enjoyed an outstanding start to his career in the Premier League. Ancelotti receives the award for the second time this season and the third time in his career after guiding the Blues to three consecutive wins, which has propelled the champions into third place in the table.
