Chelsea vs Stoke preview

Roberto Di Matteo will try to attract a major applause from the fans of the current FA Cup and Champions League holders on Saturday. Chelsea played a two all draw against Juventus in the Champions League after Oscar had given them a two goal lead. The Brazilian got injured after scoring a brace, but he will be expected to play for the Blues. Daniel Sturridge is yet to regain match fitness.

Visitors
Andy Wilkinson begins a three match suspension after accepting a violent conduct charge from the FA.
Stoke City's last win at the Stamford Bridge was in 1974. The 'Potters' will rely on long balls and set pieces in order to score against Chelsea. They forced Manchester City to a 1-1 draw last weekend. Ryan Shawcross, Rory Delap and Peter Crouch are some of their key players. Michael Owen is expected to start from the bench.

Host
John Mikel Obi and Ramires are expected to play in Chelsea's midfield while Fernando Torres will act as the arrowhead of the squad.
Prediction: Chelsea 3-1 Stoke City
