Team News
Stoke
Chelsea
- Stoke continue to have very few injury problems, with Marc Wilson the only likely first XI player sidelined.
- Peter Crouch could come in and replace Kenwyne Jones up front, while Kightly and Etherington should return to the side out wide.
- Whelan and N'Zonzi are likely to continue to start ahead of Charlie Adam, while Shotton and Wilkinson compete for a place at full-back.
- John Terry could return to contention after featuring in an under-21 game on Thursday but won't be rushed back into action.
- Goalkeeper Petr Cech has recovered from injury and is back in the squad, so should replace Ross Turnbull in goal.
- The team may well revert to that which played in the 5-1 win over Southampton, meaning there could be a start for Demba Ba over Fernando Torres.
walters is having a day to forget...hits the bar, misses a pen, and scored 2 OG
Stoke's defence is very hard to break down at home and chelsea arent on form so i think 0-0
5.3 for walters? pff
nil all half time best bet
Absolutely right, Martin. Victor Moses is flying down from his Nigeria duties at AFCON, just to play this game. Bang-on preview.
My Team (Chelsea) will want to win, because of QPR and Swansea lost... It will be 1-3
