Midfielder Ramires off, striker Loic Remy on. Last throw of the dice for Chelsea. Last chance to save Jose Mourinho's Blues career?

Chelsea probing for a way through but are getting frustrated. Nemanja Matic lashes a shot over and Stoke will be happy with that.

Erik Pieters again takes one, this time from Diego Costa. The Stoke man will need a bucket full of plasters for his knocks tonight.

Chelsea's Eden Hazard tries to wriggle clear but there are eight red and white Stoke shirts in front of him.

He'll need to conjure up some master sorcery to get through that. David Copperfield-esque.

End to end stuff at the Britannia Stadium. Willian plays the ball across the edge of the Stoke box to Pedro, who opens his body up and curls an effort against the post.

"The poor left-back Baba Rahman doesn't know what to do whenever Xherdan Shaqiri gets the ball. He's looked very, very good tonight."

Xherdan Shaqiri has really given Chelsea full-back Baba Rahman a torrid evening, the Ghanaian can't get anywhere near him. He's getting tangled inside out like spaghetti. 

A few lollipops from the Swiss international before chipping the ball into the box, but Marko Arnautovic can't get his header on target.

Stoke go to the other end and former Chelsea full-back Glen Johnson curls an effort off target.

Jack in Devon: Chelsea not only need to start winning, but start playing the style of football that we were all in awe of last season. There are a lot of things that need to change, but I don't think the manager is one.

Marlo from London: How can Jose sneak into the Britannia? Put on the Chelsea number 10 shirt - it makes the wearer invisible!

What can Chelsea do now? They've already lost six games in the Premier League this season. Surely the title has been relinquished even at this early juncture.

Stoke holding firm so far. The Blues have a huge red and white wall to knock down.

This graphic does not really do justice to the quality of Stoke's goal but it does at least show you how they spread play across the pitch before getting the ball into the danger zone and finding the finish.

Those stereotypes of Stoke's so-called direct approach look lazier every game they play a game under Mark Hughes' tenure - this Potters team like to get the ball down and play.

Stoke City have played with real purpose after the break and this atmospheric arena is now a cauldron of noise after Marko Arnautovic's goal.

Ryan Shawcross is booked for flattening Diego Costa. He needs to keep his composure because Chelsea's striker will be looking to draw him even further into a battle now. 

The same applies to Arnautovic - Stoke will need all hands on deck here.

This one is going to boil over. Goalscorer Marko Arnautovic loses the ball and barges into the back of Willian.

Handbags follows between the two sets of players. Just a little pushing and shoving, no-one's going to throw any punches.

Ryan Shawcross with an arm into the face of Diego Costa, and the Stoke captain is given a yellow card. Could have been worse.

Chelsea go on the attack and Nemanja Matic's left-footed thunderbolt is pushed away by Jack Butland.

"Great play. Shakiri's involved again. I thought Jon Walters had missed the chance, it drops to Marko Arnautovic and it's a super finish.That's what Stoke needed. It was getting scrappy and niggly, now Stoke have a goal."
