[Teams] Stoke vs Chelsea: Confirmed Line-Ups

Chelsea will look to take another huge step towards reclaiming the title when they take on Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium this afternoon.

The Blues have been dealt a blow with Eden Hazard ruled out of today’s game so Willian and Pedro support Diego Costa in attack.

Otherwise, it’s the same team that started against Manchester united on Monday night with Victor Moses passed fit despite picking up a minor calf problem last time out.

David Luiz is also fit to start at the back alongside Cesar Azpilicueta and Gary Cahill while N’Golo Kante is joined by Nemanja Matic in midfield.

Here are the confirmed line-ups:

Stoke

Grant; Bardsley, Shawcross, M. Indi, Pieters; Ramadan, Cameron, Allen, Arnautovic; Walters, Berahino.

Subs: Given; Muniesa, Whelan, Afellay, Adam, Diouf, Crouch.

Chelsea

Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill; Moses, Kante, Matic, Alonso; Willian, Diego Costa, Pedro.

Subs: Begovic, Zouma, Ake, Chalobah, Loftus-Cheek, Fabregas, Batshuayi.
