Good afternoon and welcome to LIVE coverage of Chelsea against Crystal Palace. A 3pm kick-off in this one as Jose Mourinho's side continue their push for the title. Teams coming right up for you.

There goes the final whistle! A fortunate 2-1 win for Chelsea. Three points in the end. Mourinho applauds the fans. It is all over here.

We are into four minutes of time added on. Chelsea have not been great, but look to be on their way to the three points here.

Two magnificent stops from Speroni to keep out the effort by Schurrle before getting back on his feet to make the stop from Demba Ba. Stunning piece of goalkeeping.

Marouane Chamakh departs the scene to be replaced by Dwight Gayle for the visiting side.

Mourinho looking far from content about the goings on at Stamford Bridge. This has been a tough old examination for his side.

Chance for Ramires to finish off Palace once and for all. But he can't come up with the pass for Oscar and Speroni dives on the loose ball. Should have been all over there and then.

Off goes Torres and on comes Demba Ba for the home side. Another change. Another striker appears.

Gabbidon comes up with a timely tackle to win the ball from Hazard before Schurrle knocks a shot miles over the bar.

Palace have been superb in this second half. Probably deserve a draw from this match for their effort alone.

On comes Andre Schürrle, and off goes Willian. Plenty of life yet in this one.

César Azpilicueta back to win the ball ahead of Jerome out wide. Another change on the way for the home side.

Tony Pulis is winless in all 10 Premier League matches as a manager (all for Stoke) against Chelsea (D2-L8). He suffered his biggest Premier League loss as a manager at Stamford Bridge, when his Stoke team lost 7-0 in April 2010. Frank Lampard scored twice that day.

Delaney heads wide at the near post from the Puncheon corner. Torres marking fresh air when Delaney got that header in.

Chelsea defence all over the back. Brilliant move by Palace. Jerome with the cross. Chelsea couldn't clear and Cech forced to knock the ball away from the O'Keefe effort with Terry then clearing the smothered shot off his line. Ivanovic then with a vital block. Frantic stuff.

Torres offside from a loose ball after Essien attempted a shot at goal. Good save in the end from Speroni from the Oscar effort.

The Palace fans continue to make the most noise inside Stamford Bridge. Luiz forced to thump clear a ball from inside his own area.

Poor ball by Jedinak trying to pick out Yannick Bolasie on the run. He couldn't keep it in. Has to be better than that.

Speroni off his line to drill the ball away from Willian as he closed in on goal. This game not yet put to bed by the home side. Work still to be done by Chelsea.

Speroni almost under an Ivanovic cross ball. The delivery flies a bit too long in the end. And on we go then with Chelsea clinging to this 2-1 lead.

There are obvious uncertainties about Chelsea when they are forced to defend dead ball situations. They never do it with any relish.
