Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Chelsea v Stoke at Stamford Bridge. We'll have build-up and team news over the next hour, followed by full text commentary.

Shaqiri bursts forward on the break and his dinked cross picks out Diouf, totally unmarked, at the back stick. Stamford Bridge waits for the net to bulge, but he fails to make a defent contact and loops his effort wide.

Again @stokecity sum up the game perfectly. There's only one winner in the battle of official twitter accounts.

Traore and then Willian both have close-range shots blocked in quick succession. Chelsea have sparked into life. It's only taken them half an hour.

Chelsea seem to be treating this game as a light warm-up for PSG. The only surprise so far is that Stoke aren't ahead.

Cameron is in the wars and the game takes a brief hiatus as he receives treatment.

That's more like it! WIllian picks up the ball in midfield, surges towards the edge of the box and fires a powerful shot narrowly side. Chelsea's stand-out player of the year is at it again.

Stoke continue to boss this. A Shaqiri free-kick is flicked on by Cameron, but he fails to make strong enough contact and sends his header glancing wide.

Modern football...

Afellay injured himself in the act of putting in that cross, dislocating a couple of fingers by the looks of it. Ouch. He'll be fine to continue after getting taped up.

What a chance! Stoke break forward at pace and Afellay threads a peach of a cross towards the on-rushing Diouf coming in at the back stick. The forward has to stretch for it slightly and can't quite find the touch he wants, wasting a golden chance to open the scoring.

A Shaqiri corner is only cleared as far as Muniesa, but he balloons his shot from the edge of the box miles over the bar.

Afellay is given acres of space in shooting territory and takes advantage by fizzing in a shot that Courtois is forced to punch behind.

Oscar spins away from his marker, but a low shot is comfortably claimed by Butland in the Stoke goal.

I would drop in some official Chelsea tweets to this commentary, but turns out they're watching a different game.

Shaqiri plays a brilliant no-look pass over the top, but Diouf can't quite gather it.
