Overview
Stoke City were successful in avoiding a defeat in their last league tie as they held Manchester City for a goalless draw at the Etihad. The Potters will be delighted to have not avoided a defeat against Pep Guardiola's men.
Mark Hughes will be happy to not suffer a defeat at the hands of his former club and will now shift his focus on the Premier League leaders. The Blues will visit Stoke for a league tie on Saturday and Hughes will be hopeful of sealing three points.
Chelsea enter this tie after registering a narrow 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the FA Cup quarter-final at home. N'Golo Kante's second half goal was the difference between the two sides as the Red Devils played the majority of the match with 10 men due to Ander Herrera's sending off.
Antonio Conte will be hoping his side can complete the domestic double by winning the title and the FA Cup this season. A victory over Stoke will further strengthen their cause and also help them maintain the lead at the top.
