MH needs to wind em up point in the right direction and see what happens. I've got a 90 yr old Stokie dad who reckons we'll draw this one.

Johnson and Butland out for us, that injury list is thinning as we begin out late title charge lol Some big calls for MH today, esp Ramadan v Shaq, who gets dropped for Arnie, will Diouf continue at wing back.
Rumours no Hazard for them, not travelling up - that would be massive (source is Twitter so poss horse bollocks) Moses a big injury doubt - he has been key for them at wing back

If Erik Pieters scores with a far post header I'm going to get a tattoo to commemorate the moment.

I think that MH will go 442 again and keep Walters up front with Arni in for Diouf being the only change.
If we go 442 Id go with Diouf up front instead of Walters and Arni in as the only change. With Super John on at the end when Mames run himself into the ground.
I do think this would be an interesting option
Grant
Bards Ryan Indi Eric
Allen Cameron
Arni Shaq Sobhi
Berahino

There is no reason why we can't get anything from this game today. I fancy a 2-2 draw. Saido will notch today. If we go into this game thinking we'll lose we will do. No doubt about it. Chelsea are not unbeatable and we WILL beat them. Mighty Potters 2-1 Chelski

www.stokesentinel.co.uk/i-did-inquire-about-chelsea-legend-admits-mark-hughes/story-30210871-detail/story.htmlHughes said Xherdan Shaqiri was available again after a few false dawns in his recovery from calf trouble. “He hasn't been fit to be perfectly honest," Hughes explained. “He's been close before and just pulled up in sessions just before games, which is a frustration for him, but he should be an option this weekend. “But Ramadan has come in and done well, so he might have to bide his time.
“We just need Shaq fit and well and consistent in his physical make up, that enables him to perform." Hughes hinting that Shaq will be benched - and that's got to be the right call. Grant Bardsley Shawcross BMI Pieters Cameron Allen Arnie Walters Sobhi Berahino Think we could see just the one change with Diouf (very harshly) out and Arnie in, with Walters doing a lot of the donkey work very deep?

For me, if Shaq is fit he should start in that line up instead of Walters. We won't get many chances to score and I think there is a better chance of nicking one with the Swiss in the line up.

It's tempting, and you'd think Shaq will get a chance at No.10 soon. But Shaq may not be 100% and Walters loves these kind of games.

If Erik Pieters scores with a far post header I'm going to get a tattoo to commemorate the moment. Ha ha. What a discreet date homage type thing just to cover the old TB injection scar or the full back angel?? Imagine Erik's forehead covering a shoulder blade and a fiery ball in the shape of a number 3 heading for the top corner like a Roy of the Rovers front cover.

Grant Bards Shawcross Indi Pieters Cameron Allen Arnie. Afellay. Sobhi Berahino
I would like to see Afellay given a chance as a No10 behind Berahino.He's good at keeping the ball and we need to do that a lot better especially against the better sides.
Going for a very optimistic 1-1....CMON STOKE! ⚽️

Thing is his replacement (Willian) has caused Stoke far more problems than Hazard. Nobody ever seems to pick him up when we play them- perhaps today will be different.

Hardly a coup. Hughes said Johnson wasn't available and if Shaq on the bench also not really a shock

2-1 for West Brom against Arsenal Bad result for Stoke Ye this is disappointing but the consolation of being able to watch AFTV go into meltdown is a definite silver-lining.

Chelsea 11 v Stoke (3-4-3): Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill (c); Moses, Kante, Matic, Alonso; Willian, Diego Costa, Pedro.
Chelsea subs v Stoke: Begovic, Zouma, Ake, Chalobah, Loftus-Cheek, Fabregas, Batshuayi.
