Stoke showed with their 0-0 draw at Manchester City in their last game that they are capable of digging in against the top teams, but I don’t see them holding out against Chelsea.
This is another hurdle for the Blues in their title bid, but I think it is one they will clear comfortably.
Prediction: 0-2
Fixture: Stoke City v Chelsea, Saturday afternoon, March 18.
