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+3
There's the final whistle - Chelsea win 1-0, moving level on points with fourth-placed Arsenal but behind the Gunners on goal difference.
90+2
Chelsea at least have territory now, winning a series of throws deep in the Stoke half.
90+1
Three minutes added time as Chelsea waste the corner. They retain possesion though, but Drogba runs it out before blasting a shot in.
90'
Sturridge on the run now, he has support from Mata and Lampard but cuts inside from the right to shoot - just wide though!
89'
Throw to Chelsea deep in their half, then more advanced but Drogba gives away a free-kick.
88'
Great free-kick from Mata that Begovic can't reach but off the bar! It lands to Luiz, who rolls it in for Ramires to score but miles offside.
87'
Whithead with a foul as he initially clears but loses control of the ball under pressure from Ramires.
86'
Sturridge shoots wide after some interesting build-up play, the little fella holding off some challenges with great strength.
85'
Shotton on the move again but Lampard tracking back slides in. Throw Stoke, no, it goes to Chelsea.
84'
Stoke have now seen more of the ball in the last five minutes or so. Chelsea have eased off hugely.
83'
Drogba finds Cole on the left but through-balls aren't his forte and Stoke clear. Now Jerome gets away, he is given far too much space by Cahill and has a pop but just wide!
82'
Looked a dive from Palacios over Ramires's challenge but Stoke have a free-kick on the left, Whitehead to take... Easy for Cech though.
81'
Poor ball in by Whitehead, way too heavy and deep and out for a throw.
80'
Drogba tangles with Jerome and the former is penalised - he's furious too. He did block him though. Free-kick Stoke on their right wing...
79'
Ramires and Lampard combine in what has become a rare Chelsea attack nowadays. Cleared though.
78'
An attempted lob from Wilkinson sails well over a smiling Cech and the bar.
77'
Shotton hurls it in but Chelsea clear.
76'
Good spell this from Stoke as they get a throw on the left - shame Delap is less than fully fit.
75'
Excellent cross by Shotton, flicked away by Terry! Now Walters bicycle-kicks it across goal but Luiz hacks away for a throw!
