Hello and welcome to our LIVE match coverage of Stoke City v Aston Villa from the Britannia Stadium. Kick off 15.00 GMT.

FULL TIME: Stoke City 2-1 Aston Villa. Thanks for joining us.

Stoke fans flooding for the exits. They feel they’ve done enough already. Goal kick to Villa and they need to hurry.

Hand ball from Weimann and he’s also caught offside on the edge of the box. Not long now.

Pennant springs clear and is then pulled back. Free kick and more time for Stoke.

Driven in by Bacuna but Walters heads clear. We have four added minutes so there it still time.

Whelan brings down Weimann. Free kick to Villa and now it’s a corner. Last chance saloon time.

It’s been a much better second half but that won’t matter to Paul Lambert as Villa head for a third successive defeat.

Adam again looks to waste time in the corner but is tackled. Cameron clipped by Bacuna.

Nice skill from Adam who looks for Nzonzi but there’s just too much on it. Villa not looking likely at the moment.

Really poor again from Villa as Bacuna's touch lets him down and it drifts out for a throw.

Nzonzi brought down by Westwood and now he goes into the book.

Pennant caught offside. Time running out for Villa.

Stoke slowing things up already. Adam tries to keep it in the corner but it’s out for a goal kick.

Peter Crouch is unbeaten in the last 33 PL home matches in which he has scored in – since Southampton’s 3-2 home defeat v today’s opponents Aston Villa in April 2005.

Aston Villa sub: Albrighton off for Bacuna

Approaching the last ten minutes and Villa need to force the issue a little more.

Bowery does well to win Villa a throw. Westwood shoots but it’s well wide.

Villa force a free kick. Albrighton takes but Stoke head clear. Terrible pass straight out for a goal kick.

Shots on target: Stoke 2-3 Villa

Great save Begovic! It’s fingertips to keep out Kozak’s effort.
