Stoke City – Chelsea preview
Thibaut Curtois is still injured, which means Petr Cech will be between the posts for the 4th consecutive time. He has conceded 2 goals in 3 matches, but keeping a clean sheet on Monday shouldn’t be a big problem for him as Chelsea’s next opponent is Stoke City.
This season, Stoke’s offensive line looks impressive. They have scored 18 goals in 16 rounds, which isn’t good, having in mind the amount of talent in their attack. To be fair, the reason for that is their long injury list. Against Chelsea, they will probably look more to defend than to try to outscore Chelsea.
Chelsea is a team with one of the best defenses in the world. In the Premier League, they have allowed only 13 goals this season, which is the league’s best (together with Southampton). In this game, they will have a huge motive to win as they want to stay on the top of the table. Manchester City are just 3 points behind, which means that winning this game is in Chelsea plans.
