Last time we met Stoke in the reserves league it was us fielding a young side and we should have won. Our strong team for this game consisted of Van Aanholt, Bruma, Magnay and Pappoe in defence, Bridcutt, Mellis, Matic and Kakuta with Borini and Sturridge upfront.

After a devastating blow to our Title hopes last weekend Carlo Ancelotti will know that anything less than a loss will cost him dearly. He was left stunned after a below par Manchester City were able to destroy a even more below par Chelsea. Goalkeeping at Chelsea Football Club hit an all new low with Hilario’s performance. The FA Cup has opened up more for Chelsea with the elimination of Man City and other ‘Big 4’ members.
