Don't forget you can watch highlights of this match, along with every Premier League game, from 00:01 on Monday morning (UK only).
90+4'
The final whistle goes at Stamford Bridge, and Chelsea will finish the weekend as league leaders thanks to Ashley Cole's late goal.
90+2'
Walters has the ball from that corner and goes charging up the line on the break. David Luiz desperately lunging in and up-ends the forward. That's a booking for Luiz, but Stoke's players want him sent off. Walters has a bit of a barney with Terry, whose only been on the pitch two minutes!
90+1'
Chelsea have a corner, but it's a poor short one from Oscar that gifts possession straight to Stoke.
89'
Chelsea substitution: John Terry replaces Mata.
87'
Chelsea break from a Stoke corner and Moses is played in by Mata. Wilson steams back to make a sliding tackle just as the chelsea man is about to shoot.
86'
That's Ashley Cole's first league goal for Chelsea since May 2010!
85'
GOAL!! Chelsea have scored,a nd it's Ashley Cole! Lovely one-touch move from Chelsea whcih culminates in Mata casually backheeling into Cole's path and the England left-back scores from close range!
84'
Jones rises at the back post but his header ricochets off the back of his marker and then against his arm.
83'
Etherington is tripped by Ivanovic as the winger is doubled up on by the big Serb and Oscar.
81'
Chelsea substitution: Frank Lampard replaces Mikel.
79'
Jones well to head a long ball back into the box from the byline and it sits up invitingly for ETHERINGTON... Struck wide of the far post!
78'
Stoke are on course for a sixth straight draw, going back to their 2-2 with Bolton on the final day of last season. They haven't won a game since April 7, a 2-1 win over Wolves.
77'
Lovely play from Torres to steer the ball into Mikel's run with one deft touch. The midfielder bombs on and shoots, but the effort from an angle is blocked Begovic catches the ball as it loops into the air.
75'
Stoke substitution: Kenwyne Jones replaces Crouch.
74'
If things stay this way then Chelsea will register their third draw in eight days.
72'
Stoke substitution: Matthew Etherington replaces Kightly.
71'
Whelan has a poor effort go high and wide after good build-up play by crouch and Walters.
70'
Oscar at it again with a deft touch and turn before he hits a low strike that whistle past the foot of the post! Begovic looked beaten there!
69'
Owen is playing very deep. Mikel does well to intercept a ball headed for him and instigate another Chelsea attack.
