Chelsea Vs Stoke City Match Previee
We netted three times through Hazard and Pedro in the last match but with the latter set to miss this fixture through suspension, the blues are in line to welcome diminutive forward Diego Costa back into the fold after he missed the last game through suspension alongside N'golo Kante.
Our visitors lost 4:1 to Liverpool in their last game despite taking the lead early in the game.They have won only one of their last five games (against Burnley) but according to our manager, no team should be painted underdog considering they managed a point on their last visit to the Bridge.They also took all three points in the reverse fixture last season.
Its been 21 years however since Stoke City took away all three points on a visit to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea Vs Stoke City Head To Head
This is the 98th meeting of both teams.We have triumphed in 45 of those while Stoke has 30 victories. There has been 22 stalemates.

Team News
With Costa and Kante who has started all our league games prior to suspension now available, Conte could restore the ace back into the starting XI although the team last time out was all round impressive.
Pedro will miss the game via suspension having picked up five yellows this campaign.
Our visitors are usually set up to be defensive and then potent on the break but will surely find it difficult to beat a Chelsea back line that has let in only two goals in their last twelve games.
We Can Make It 13!
Go Blues!
