21:00 Stoke – Chelsea

Stoke City F.C. took an impressive 3-2 victory over Arsenal F.C. in its last match at “Britannia Stadium” (Stoke City F.C. – Arsenal F.C. 3-2 on 06.12.2014) and now the Potters will have another difficult test against one of the major favorite for the title this season – Chelsea F.C.

The truth is, that Stoke City F.C. is a team with limited potential and I doubt, that the hosts will manage to win something in a second consecutive match here against top team.

The Blues, on the other hand, will be highly motivated to keep the distance between them and Manchester City F.C., especially after the defeat in their last visit at “St. James’ Park” on Dec. 6 (Newcastle United F.C. – Chelsea F.C. 2-1 on 06.12.2014).

The Potters are still without Steve Sidwell (midfielder), Victor Moses (striker / 1 goal) and Peter Odemwingie (striker), while Stephen Ireland (midfielder) is doubtful.

Unlike their opponents, the Blues have no problems with injured or suspended players ahead of this clash.
