Godd afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's live coverage of Stoke City versus Chelsea. I don't think we'll have any planes towing banners, but there is a chance for the league leaders to go 13 points clear.

Costa slips in Willian who shows great awareness to in turn find Moses with a backheel but the Nigerian's low shot is blocked. Great play from Chelsea.

The goal remains the only shot of the match so far and, despite Willian's qiock thinking, will have to go down as a goalkeeping error.

Allen picks Kante's pocket and via Ramadan sets up Pieters to cross but the fullback puts the ball into the stands.

Costa, having felt he was fouled by Martins Indi, earns himself a booking for dissent.

Allen sythes down Pedro to pick up the first booking of the game.

GOAL! 1-0 to Chelsea! With Grant waiting for a cross, Willian fires the free-kick low at the near post and past the goalkeeper, who can't keep it out despite getting two hands to the ball.

Arnautovic fouls Alonso about five yards outside the box on Chelsea's left, giving them a great position for a free-kick.

Plemty of needle Costa and Martins Indi already, as the former is penalised for hauiling the latter to the ground.

Costa goes to ground very easily near Cameron, who gesticulates for him to get up, and the home fans also don't hold back in letting Costa know how they feel. No free-kick.

Alsonso overhots a through ball in search of Pedro, allowing Grant to come off his line and collect.

Ramadan tries to shepheard the ball out for a Stoke goal kick but it stops before the byline, forcing him to try and play his way out of trouble and, despite having Moses for company, he is able to do so.

As it so often is at this ground, it's a windy day. Both teams are in their traditional colours and we're yet to see any chances.

Chelsea get the game underway.

Anthony Taylor is today's referee.

The teams are on their way out and kick-off is imminent.

The Potters are unbeaten in eight home Premier League games.

Ten minutes until kick-off, so here's a reminder of the teams in full. STOKE CITY: Grant, Bardsley, Shawcross, Martins Indi, Pieters, Arnautovic, Cameron, Allen, Ramadan, Walters, Berahino. Subs: Given, Muniesa, Affelay, Whelan, Adam, Diouf, Crouch. /// CHELSEA: Courtois, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Cahill, Moses, Kante, Matic, Alonso, Pedro, Costa, Willian. Subs: Begovic, Zouma, Ake, Chalobah, Loftus-Cheek, Batshuayi, Fabregas.

This will be only the second Premier League game of the season where Hazard doesn't start for Chelsea. The other, away at Sunderland, they won 1-0.

Saido Berahino, meanwhile, hasn't scored a competitive goal in more than a year. His last came at the end of February 2016 in a Premier League win for West Brom over Crystal Palace.
