It’s the BIG one. Except it’s not, as nothing rides on the clash between already-relegated Cardiff and Chelsea. Hopefully that means we can look forward to a feast of attacking football. We get underway in 45 minutes.

- Highlights
90+4'
The full-time whistle brings another campaign to an end. Goodbye Cardiff City. Goodbye Premier League. Next up: the World Cup.
90+3'
"Ashley Cole, Ashley Cole, Ashley Cole..." sing the away support as Chelsea win a late free-kick. He does not want it. He should have taken it - Oscar's effort was poor.
90+2'
Marshall denies Schurrle in injury time with a one-handed stop. The stopper has had a brilliant season (despite the minor inconvenience of relegation).
90+1'
It's not to be for the Cardiff youngster. Three minutes of added time.
90'
Solskjaer also makeas a change with Campbell swapping places with Tom James. Cardiff have a corner too. First touch goal?
89'
Hazard makes way for young midfielder John Swift.
88'
Matic goes into the book.
87'
Fabio has time to pick someone out. And pick someone out he does. The Chelsea keeper.
86'
Torres sneaks in behind the Cardiff defence but can't control the loose ball.
85'
Hazard can't divert a fierce low cross into the net from close range.
84'
Hazard dinks this way, then that, but refuses to shoot. Is he making a statement?
83'
Cardiff force a late corner. Go on, make it interesting lads.
82'
Chelsea deploying a series of three-yard passes in the Cardiff corner. Cole and Schurrle heavily involved.
81'
Torres perfectly controls the ball for a Cardiff defender. Maybe he fancies joining the Welsh giants' title push in the Championship next season?
80'
Into the final 10 minutes. Will there be a late twist?
79'
Fabio swivels inside the penalty area and unleashes a left-foot volley. Not the best.
78'
Schurrle tries to pick out Torres with a clever diagonal. The Spaniard decides against going for the Van Basten volley and lets the ball roll out of play.
77'
Bellamy leaves the pitch to a warm ovation. Rhys Healey comes on.
76'
No celebration from Torres. Awkward. He's on his way.
75'
GOAL! Cardiff 1-2 Chelsea. Schurrle balloons a header into the Cardiff sky, it finds its way to Torres who has acres of space and tucks home. Fabio was playing everyone onside.
