Hello and welcome to live coverage of the biggest game of the weekend. Forget Manchester City. Forget Manchester United. Forget Arsenal. Forget Chelsea, remember them, and then forget them all over again, because it's Stoke City versus Aston Villa, in a derby between two cities that people rarely visit for tourism purposes.

Highlights

90+6'

Yes it is, that's full time. Thanks for all your tweets. A good start for Villa, and who saw this coming? A few people, presumably.

90+5'

Arnautovic has the ball in the box but Senderos blocks his shot. Is that the last chance of the match?

90+3'

Villa now win a corner on the left. Grealish takes, short again. Agbonlahor stands up to block, but is tackled by Shawcross. Villa win it back.

90+2'

There's been a goal! Somewhere else!

90+1'

Bacuna takes short and they win a throw. There will be five minutes of added time. Bacuna lazes towards the ball, and eventually takes a throw. They win another.

90'

Stoke concede a corner through Wilson on the right. Bacuna will take after some dithering.

89'

Agbonlahor is released by Bacuna, who plays it left and.... urgh. Villa are not able to do anything constructive or keep the ball and the move breaks down.

87'

Delph plays a ball sideways for Bacuna into the box, and he leans back and spoons the ball 30 yards into the air, at least.

86'

Agbonlahor is booked for moving a set-piece ball an inch or two to the right in order to waste time.

85'

Adam lines up the free kick for a cross from 35 yards out, to the left of the box. It flicks off Westwood, loops towards Shawcross, and he flicks the ball over the bar.

84'

There's a distinct lack of verve from Stoke. Crouch holds the ball up well, and then Adam is nudged to the ground by Richardson.

82'

Adam is on for Whelan. Bacuna is on for Weimann.

81'

Cissokho crosses from the left, deflected out for a corner, but Stoke clear and look to break. Arnautovic is inches from reaching a through-ball from Bojan.

80'

Yellow card for Hutton for timewasting. The rascal.

79'

Another wee photie for you.

78'

Yaya Sanogo STARTS for Arsenal tonight.

77'

Villa are holding on, not especially desperately.

74'

Crouch heads down for Whelan, who lays the ball back to Arnautovic, but he curls a shot past the near post.

72'

Would be fun if something happened.

71'

Changes look imminent for both sides. Diouf runs it out for a goal kick as he tries to make room for a cross. He's replaced by Peter Crouch. For Villa, Grealish replaces N'Zogbia.
