Stoke 1-2 Chelsea, West Ham 2-3 Leicester: Premier League as it happened

That is it for this live text, but be sure to check back in with IBTimes UK tomorrow as we guide you through a hat-trick of Sunday afternoon games.

Middlesbrough vs Manchester United is first on the agenda, followed by Tottenham vs Southampton and the small matter of Manchester City vs Liverpool.

Goodbye for now.

Conte is understandably cock-a-hoop as Chelsea open up a 13-point gap over nearest title challengers Tottenham and Manchester City, both of whom play tomorrow. He's certainly got the midas touch.

Cahill, who gave away a first-half penalty, goes from hero to zero thanks to that late winner. The leaders are seven wins away from guaranteeing their first title triumph since 2015.

Full-time scores

Crystal Palace 1-0 Watford

Everton 4-0 Hull

Stoke 1-2 Chelsea

Sunderland 0-0 Burnley

West Ham 2-3 Leicester

Already on a booking, Bardsley, who could perhaps have been sent off a couple of times over already, foolishly slides in late on Fabregas and finally receives his marching orders.

Red card: Phil Bardsley (Stoke)

Hull have fallen to pieces since losing Huddlestone.

Lukaku bags a late double to cap off a difficult week in which his future has been subject to yet more fervent speculation.

Goal: Everton 4-0 Hull (Romelu Lukaku)

Costa rifles a shot against the post and Loftus-Cheek forces a fine low save from Grant.

Plenty of room for those Chelsea attackers to operate in now as Stoke throw men forward in search of another equaliser.

Hughes throws on the towering figure of Crouch for the final few minutes. Sobhi is withdrawn.

Goal: Everton 3-0 Hull (Romelu Lukaku)

Kurt Zouma replaces Willian.

Pedro and Loftus-Cheek look to make sure of the three points as we head into four minutes of stoppage time.

Despite briefly looking like the team most likely to notch a late winner, Stoke concede with just three minutes remaining.

Grant is unable to prevent a sloppy Pieters backpass from going behind for a corner. Sobhi cannot adequately clear a Luiz header and Cahill pops up to drive the ball home.

Chelsea move one step closer to the title.

Goal: Stoke 1-2 Chelsea (Gary Cahill)

Walters sends Diouf too far wide of goal and then cannot finish at the back post.

The ball falls kindly for Sobhi, but his sliced shot veers toward the corner flag.

Arnautovic sends in two more enticing corners but Stoke cannot make them count.

Two Stoke corners come to nothing as Chelsea nervously stand firm.

A rare Premier League outing for Loftus-Cheek now as the 21-year-old midfielder deputises for Matic.

Costa can only steer Fabregas' second-chance centre over the crossbar.

Stoke pushing on now after being penned back for much of this second half.

Game over for 10-man Hull. West Ham loanee Valencia links up nicely with Lukaku before putting the game to bed just a minute after being sent on in place of Davies.

Goal: Everton 2-0 Hull (Enner Valencia)

Grant called into action once again for Stoke after smart combination play between Willian and Pedro.

Hull's hopes of leaving Goodison Park with a handy point look to be over after Huddlestone is dismissed for a late challenge on Idrissa Gueye. 15 minutes left in that one.

Grant saves a long-range drive from Nemanja Matic and later wins a free-kick after spilling a corner.

After an off-the-ball clash involving Costa and Martins Indi, Pedro races forward for Chelsea and is scythed down by Pieters.

The Stoke full-back is shown a yellow card and Alonso smashes a free-kick off the crossbar before engaging in a heated argument with Diouf.

Ayew nods home after an Andy Carroll header to give West Ham hope of an unlikely point against Leicester.

Goal: West Ham 2-3 Leicester (Andre Ayew)

Certainly not one to lack confidence in his own abilities, Luiz tries to catch Grant unawares with an ambitious 40-yard free-kick.

Grant palms it away after a difficult swerve and Cameron clears.

An antagonistic first 45 minutes has given way to a rather subdued second half. Hughes' first substitution on the hour mark sees Diouf replace Berahino.

It is fair to say that there is not too much love lost between Shawcross and Costa. The pair squabble again as they untangle following another coming together.

Pieters becomes the latest player to pick up a knock and we will have another brief stoppage as he receives treatment.

Kante releases Alonso with an incisive through ball. The wing-back's subsequent shot is blocked by Bardsley.

Pedro blasts the ball against Bardsley and proceeds to win a corner off Shawcross. Willian's back-post delivery is glanced away by Erik Pieters.

Ramadan Sobhi weaves his way past Azpilicueta and Luiz steps in to make a crucial interception for Chelsea.

The second halves are now off and running. No changes from either Hughes or Conte in gloomy Staffordshire.

A penny for Claudio Ranieri's thoughts as Leicester continue their march away from relegation danger. As per Opta Sports, Shakespeare is the first manager in Premier League history to have his side score at least three goals in each of his first three games in charge.

Not much to report from either Selhurst Park or the Stadium of Light. Everton lead Hull thanks to a maiden top-flight goal from young striker Calvert-Lewin.

An extremely combative opening 45 minutes at Stoke ends all square. Costa very much playing the role of pantomime villain thus far.

Half-time scores

Crystal Palace 0-0 Watford

Everton 1-0 Hull

Stoke 1-1 Chelsea

Sunderland 0-0 Burnley

Shawcross clashes with Costa once more before the latter is pole-axed by a bad challenge from Phil Bardsley, who receives a yellow card.

Costa looks to be in some pain and will require treatment to his knee.

Walters emphatically drives the ball home from 12 yards. Level pegging.

Goal: Stoke 1-1 Chelsea (Jon Walters)

Walters goes to ground under minimal contact from Cahill and Anthony Taylor points to the spot.

Penalty to Stoke

While not interfering directly with play from an offside position, Berahino appears to have been penalised for a shove on Cesar Azpilicueta.

Goa...no!

Martins Indi heads in after a Stoke corner is initially met by Geoff Cameron.

However, the assistant referee raises his flag and it will not stand.

Chelsea are caught napping on a quick free-kick and the reliable Kante slides in to deflect a low Arnautovic cross wide.

Grant saves from Alonso after the Spaniard is teed up by a lofted pass from Moses.

Back underway in the Potteries after a painful clash of heads between David Luiz and Jon Walters. Both players look fine to continue.

Manuel Lanzini, West Ham's key creative force in a post-Payet world, reduces the deficit at London Stadium with a peach of a free-kick from 25 yards after Michail Antonio is fouled by Yohan Benalouane.

Goal: West Ham 1-2 Leicester (Manuel Lanzini)

Not much had happened before that goal, with a running battle between Diego Costa and Stoke's centre-back duo the only real talking point.

The Spanish striker looks in a particularly fiery mood today and has now been booked after only 17 minutes for a foul on Bruno Martins Indi. He needs to calm down quickly.

Joe Allen also had his name taken after bringing down Alonso.

Marcos Alonso is fouled by Arnautovic and Willian sneaks a clever low free-kick in at the near post.

Lee Grant got both hands to the ball but could not keep it out. He should have done better.

Goal: Stoke 0-1 Chelsea (Willian)

20-year-old Calvert-Lewin, making just his second start, turns home a Tom Davies cross to score his first Everton goal.

Goal: Everton 1-0 Hull (Dominic Calvert-Lewin)

What a start for the Foxes in Stratford. Robert Huth heads a Marc Albrighton cross past Darren Randolph to score Leicester's 500th Premier League goal.

West Ham are all at sea defensively. Slaven Bilic will be apoplectic with rage.

Goal: West Ham 0-2 Leicester (Robert Huth)

Leicester's Shakespearean revival continues unabated as a back-post cross from 2015-16 PFA Player of the Year Mahrez evades everybody and ends up nestling in the back of the net.

Goal: West Ham 0-1 Leicester (Riyad Mahrez)

Stoke look to get Arnautovic involved early, but the volatile Austrian international is controversially flagged for offside.

We are underway around the grounds. A reminder that Stoke vs Chelsea is our main focus this afternoon, but we will also bring you live goal updates from the four other 15.00 GMT kick-offs.

One alteration for Stoke, with Arnautovic back after illness. Mame Biram Diouf is the man to make way.

Xherdan Shaqiri misses out despite suggestions that he was ready to make his return from a calf injury. Giannelli Imbula and Wilfried Bony both fail to make the bench.

Glen Johnson and Stephen Ireland remain sidelined, while goalkeeper Jack Butland hopes to feature before the end of the season after breaking his ankle on international duty almost a full year ago.

Pedro replaces Hazard in Conte's only change from that FA Cup win against United.

Victor Moses starts despite being substituted with a calf problem at Stamford Bridge, although John Terry misses out altogether with an unspecified injury.

Nathan Ake and Ruben Loftus-Cheek come onto the bench.

As expected, Hazard is absent from Chelsea's matchday squad...

Rumours abound on social media that Eden Hazard has NOT travelled to Stoke for today's game. Rather than feeling any lingering effects of Monday night's rough treatment, however, he is believed to be have suffered a muscle injury during training.

Official team news to come shortly.

Antonio Conte's relentless Chelsea bandwagon just keeps on rolling. As if pushing their lead at the Premier League summit back to 10 points with a victory at London rivals West Ham was not quite satisfying enough, the formidable Blues withstood a rather uncouth game of hack-a-Hazard on Monday night to deservedly edge past 10-man Manchester United and seal an FA Cup semi-final date with Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley.

The colossally influential N'Golo Kante netted a rare goal from long range to win a fiery game also notable for former Stamford Bridge deity Jose Mourinho's touchline spat with Conte and his not-so-subtle reminder to a section of goading home fans that "Judas is still No1".

Looking to inflict only Chelsea's second defeat in their last 23 matches this afternoon and stop them from moving 13 clear of Tottenham and Manchester City is a Stoke City outfit that held the latter to a goalless draw last time out. Unbeaten in eight home league matches, their best such run for five years, Mark Hughes's side are certainly a force to be reckoned with at the bet365 Stadium.

Elsewhere in today's five 15.00 GMT kick-offs that follow hot on the heels of Arsenal's lunchtime clash with West Brom, Craig Shakespeare's resurgent Leicester City will look to put excitement regarding a two-legged Champions League quarter-final tie against Atletico Madrid to one side and continue their push away from the bottom three with a positive showing at West Ham.

Rock-bottom Sunderland, six points adrift of safety, host Burnley and Everton, no doubt distracted by the ongoing uncertainty regarding Romelu Lukaku's future, entertain relegation-battlers Hull City. Crystal Palace also search for a third successive victory against an out-of-form Watford team that have won just two of their last 12 games.
