Good afternoon and welcome to today's live coverage of Stoke City v Liverpool, a game with literally nothing riding on it as we enter the final hours of the 2014-15 season. Rejoice, it's nearly over.

FULL TIME! STOKE 6-1 LIVERPOOL. Quite extraordinary really. A dreadful way for Steven Gerrard to bow out, and a result that brings extra scrutiny onto Brendan Rodgers' future at the club. The Reds have been thoroughly embarrassed here, and a great result for Mark Hughes and Stoke.

Three minutes of added time. Humiliation for Brendan Rodgers and Liverpool today.

GOAL! Stoke 6-1 Liverpool. Peter Crouch piles on the misery for Brendan Rodgers. He's afforded a free header from Diouf's left wing cross and powers it home from six yards. More woeful defending from Liverpool.

Odemiwngie lets fly from 20 yards but it's straight down Mignolet's throat.

Arnautovic makes way and Peter Crouch comes on to face his old club.

Lallana is hustled off the ball inside the penalty rea by Pieters but the referee is unmoved.

Yellow card for a crunching tackle by Eric Pieters on Henderson.

Any thought of a Liverpool comeback slightly poo-pooed by the last five minutes or so with Stoke looking very comfortable again. Phil Coutinho smashes a shot over the bar.

GOAL! Stoke 5-1 Liverpool. Steven Gerrard has his goal, he's played through by a Rickie Lambert flick on (who's just come on for Allen) and he finishes calmly beyound Begovic.

Good move from Liverpool, Ibe runs down the left and lays it on for Gerrard whose shot from 25 yards flies just over the bar.

Peter Odemwingie makes his return, coming on for Jon Walters.

Pressure on the ball from Stoke and Liverpool are opened up, three against one. But Arnautovic skies his effort.

Another save for Begovic to make with Gerrard forcing him into a fine one handed stop low down to his left.

Martin Skrtel lucky to still be on the pitch after trying to take down N'Zonzi on the left hand touchline. Anthony Taylor gives him the benefit of the doubt. Lallana then has a close range strike saved by Begovic.

No change in the scoreline but Jordon Ibe has had a decent cameo since coming on at half time, full of running and effort down Stoke's left but they've come to nothing so far.

Stoke are just siting back, waiting for Liverpool to commit men forward and then break. They come close to doing just that but Arnautovic's pass is overhit.

Liverpool still can't get going despite those half time changes. Very much damage limitation this now.
