Cech

Dave Cahill Terry. Cole.

Mikel

Ramires. Oscar

Mata

Hazard.

Eto'o

[Laylabelle 9,381]

Expecting another mental game with weird and wtf moments....

[Jusek 2,031]

Expecting another dominant performance from Hazard.

Stoke have conceded only 3 home goals this season (in 7 matches). But they only scored 5. Results were 2-1 vs. Palace, 0-0 vs. Man. City, 0-1 vs. Norwich, 0-0 vs. WBA, 1-1 vs. Southampton, 2-0 vs. Sunderland, 0-0 vs. Cardiff. I'd expect a clean sheet from Chelsea here and 2-3 goals scored.

Another Hazard Left-footed rocket like last year would be immense with Chelsea winning 2-0 ..more than satisfied with that

Schurrle Willian Hazard

Schurrle always impresses when he comes on, so he deserves a start. Willian looked exciting and energetic in that central role so could do with another start. Torres should be dropped after yesterday so why not give Ba a run out and Cole comes back in, so maybe we rest Ivanovic.

Set piece defending make it really hard to drop Ivanovic.

We should stay close to Arsenal,they could draw next game against Everton...maybe Lukaku can help us there,surely expect a win by 2-0

I'd really like to see a more powerful and balanced side like this against a physical Stoke side who are at home. Ba and Schürrle should be able to deal with those defenders and we'd still have flair and creativity up there with Mata and Hazard. Mikel in for Frank since he just started and played a full match midweek.

Prediction: Stoke 1-3 Chelsea

X = Cole or Bertrand whoever.

Ba or Eto to start.

I have a request for our away supporters. "You're getting sacked in the morning" chant for Mark Hughes :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

Now why should they do that ?

Sparkie has been at this club when you probably weren't even supporting it; and has helped us in one of the most brilliant come backs I've seen from a Chelsea side.

[aerlgenx 49]

would be surprise if Torres will start with this one.should be definitely Ba.our defense needs to focus =)2-0 Win please

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Would love it if David Luiz starts we need some balance in the defence

[bushman 2,043]

Who could predict Chelsea´s line-up, these days ? I can´t.

Even if Oscar does recover from his injury, I still would play Mata. He is the better choice with Willian or Schurrle on the wing while Hazard plays the right flank.

Ferda to start, BA to come on later.

The rest should be the same as the last game.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

with hazard-mata-willian we created a butt-load of chances in our 4-2-3-1 against a difficult sunderland who beat mancity. Maybe shurrle will come in for willian but i'll honestly go with the same trio or add shurrle unless mourinho decides to change formation
