Chelsea aim to extend lead against a Stoke side who are solid at home
Stoke
The hosts come into this game having drawn their most recent fixture, but notably, that draw was against Manchester City. Considering the attacking options the Sky Blues have available, holding them to a scoreless draw was an impressive result for the Potters. More significant, that was on the road. So far, Stoke have earned some good outcomes on home turf. They held Manchester United, another top six side, to a 1-1 stalemate, and overall, Mark Hughes's side haven't lost a home tie since a 1-0 reversal to Bournemouth back in November.
Of course, Chelsea, who will come into this game having beaten Manchester United in the FA Cup, will represent a tough test for the hosts. Key players like Glen Johnson and Xherdan Shaqiri are still not 100% fit and it remains to be seen if they will receive a recall for this upcoming tie.
Chelsea
Meanwhile, Antonio Conte's side are through to the FA Cup semi-finals, and thus are on course to earn a domestic double at the end of this season. Chelsea are pretty much in cruise control as far as the title race is concerned and with tough fixtures coming up in April against Everton, Manchester City, and Manchester United, the Blues will be looking to rack up as many points between now and then as possible. It's been an excellent debut campaign for Conte since leaving as coach from the Italian national squad earlier this summer, and the team have done quite well despite some setbacks.
For instance, after seeing their 13 match winning streak snapped by Tottenham, Chelsea rebounded by going seven games unbeaten. They have won five of those during that run, and due to the squad staying healthy, Conte has not had to rotate much from his preferred 3-4-3 formation. The only major injury concern could be Victor Moses, as the Nigerian has been successfully converted from a striker to a wing-back and has impressed in that role, but having reportedly resumed training, he may be able to make an appearance this afternoon. Eden Hazard, however, will not feature in any capacity after not traveling with the squad.
