For this live text and maybe for Jose Mourinho too. Another defeat for champions Chelsea, while at the other end, Leicester move level on points with leaders Manchester City. Is the Premier League table upside down?

Join me tomorrow for more top-flight action, Until then.

This would be some scenario...

Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir Begovic: "We definitely did enough to get a result here but when things aren't going your way you don't get the luck you deserve.

"We hit the post, we slipped over when we had open goals, we are making things hard for ourselves.

"You can see from the game today it [our problems] is not something you can pinpoint. We are getting punished for little bits and pieces but eventually it will turn.

"Jose Mourinho did the pre-match talk at the hotel and that was it.

[Are you concerned that there may be a change from above?] "That is out of our hands, we are behind the manager you can see that from our performances. We think he is the right man and someone we work hard for.

"His spirit and his presence is always there, we wanted to get a result for him."

Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir Begovic claims Jose Mourinho's "presence is all around us" in the post-match interview.

Maybe that is the problem for Chelsea at the moment.

More from Stoke boss Mark Hughes on BBC Sport: "We displayed great character today, all the qualities you need to compete against one of the best teams in Europe. They have world class players.

"We are really delighted. We have beaten them twice in a short period of time and both efforts were outstanding.

"Chelsea played well today, they weren't poor. They are struggling to get positive results but they will turn it around, no shadow of a doubt. Maybe they won't go up against sides as committed as we are every week.

"Erik Pieters stood up to be counted. It was a really bad bang, both nostrils were bleeding badly and his breathing was affected. All credit to him.

"Ryan Shawcross loves those challenges, You have to have physicality in the Premier League and you have to match strikers like Diego Costa. Ryan showed his qualities, he continues to be overlooked at international level but I haven't seen many players who understand the role like he does."

Jon Cooper: Chelsea dominated for the most part. One world-class goal, great keeping and more bad luck won that for Stoke.

Rob Savage: How can we play so well and still lose? We were all over Stoke, we should have had a penalty and a red card for the foul on Remy, and the effort was faultless. Keep fighting, Chelsea - we will overcome this blip.   

Tigran Ashot Aleksanyan: Thank goodness my phone's screen is big enough to find Chelsea on the table...

Stoke City boss Mark Hughes on Match of the Day: "We are all been in that situation, you just have to keep winning so the focus goes elsewhere.

"I have had similar situations and sometimes you go under. Jose Mourinho has enormous credit at Chelsea, he has delivered trophies and surely people should cut him a little bit of slack.

"I see no reason why they should make a change but there is always focus in the Premier League."

Stoke manager Mark Hughes says his side "deserved the luck of the game". He's chuffed and why would you not be.

Full quotes to come.

Kevin in Ireland: Jose surely skating on thin ice tonight. Does anybody think Chelsea might be this season's Borussia Dortmund and struggle all season domestically?

Shaun from Bristol: My personal view on Chelsea's demise is Mourinho's decision to ignore buying British players in favour of Latin and African footballers. By doing so he is reducing the influence of British players to non-existent, and bang goes the spirit and fight...

Stoke captain Ryan Shawcross on Sky Sports: "Diego Costa gets in your face, he wants to bully you so you have to stand up to him. He is a fantastic player who plays close to the line, so to keep him quiet is fantastic.

"We have a fantastic spirit and a good team now. Look how many Champions League winners' medals we've got in the squad now."

It's the first time since October 1999 that Chelsea have lost three league games in a row.

That was at a time under the halcyon days of Gianluca Vialli.

Chelsea have now lost seven games in the league this season. Only the bottom three of Bournemouth, Sunderland and Aston Villa have lost more. It's relegation form from the Premier League champions.

"Stoke defended tremendously well and had some good pieces of play. It's been a great night of entertainment, with the fans on the edge of their seats for all 90 minutes.

"Stoke really deserve the win after such a battle. All over the pitch, each player deserves a pat on the back. They deserve all three points."

Captain John Terry walks over to the Chelsea fans. He applauds them and pats the badge on his chest before giving a thumbs up. Keep the faith?

Meanwhile, Stoke pick up a well-deserved three points and move up to 12th in the league.
