That's full time. Chelsea strolled to an easy victory and were able to leave Hazard on the bench. Stoke, meanwhile appeared to have given up before the whistle blew for the first half.
There will be two minutes of added time.
GOAL! Chelsea 5-0 Stoke. Zapppacosta scores - A high ball into the Stoke defence is headed out. Zappacosta picks it up, and with a left-footed shot inside the post from just outside the box, he makes it five.
Goal
D. Zappacosta
Three minutes of normal time now, but Chelsea might yet get a fifth. Zappacosta darts into the box with some lovely skill and has a cross blocked to win a corner.
Courtois stretches to claim a cross from the right wing, and launches the ball forward to the left wing.
Chelsea have a free kick, 25 yards out and on the right of the box. It's played through to Pedro with a disguised effort between Alonso and Willian, but he clips in a shot at Butland to save without much faff.
Choupo-Moting replaces Adam.

C. Adam
Zappacosta's fierce cross runs across goal before travelling away from danger.
Adam goes down after being caught in the thigh, which might please Gareth Bale and the countless other players he has seemingly injured on purpose.
Free kick for Stoke on the right, and Chelsea head away easily.
GOAL! Chelsea 4-0 Stoke. Willian scores - After winning the penalty, Willian calmly fires in a low effort to Butland's right, capping an excellent performance.
Penalty
Willian
PENALTY! Willian bursts into the box after tackling Tymon, and Cameron rushes over to clean him out.
Ngoy comes on for Afellay, making a rare start. Batshuayi replaces Morata.

Á. Morata
Willian drills in a low cross from the right wing, to Pedro at the near post, but he sidefoots well over the bar.
Willian takes a couple of touches towards the goal, and from outside the box he fires straight at Butland.
It would be no surprise if Conte had told his side to take it easy. They have spent 20 minutes just trying to avoid anything stupid.
Bakayoko replaces Kante.

T. Bakayoko

N. Kanté
Bakayoko will be on soon.
Chelsea are putting the credit on Butland, but the truth is that Chelsea and Morata have wasted some pretty good chances, despite turning in the tougher ones.
Morata is put behind the defence again, and this time he again strikes it straight at Butland. He needs a goal.
