Squad sheets: Chelsea v Stoke City
With 12 league goals to their name already this season and 21 in their last three home games, it is safe to say that there are better times to visit Chelsea. That seven of those 21 goals came without reply in Stoke's last visit to Stamford Bridge in April will cause only further distress to Tony Pulis. The Stoke manager could be without the £8m signing Kenwyne Jones, who has been missing since injuring an ankle in the defeat at Wolves. Carlo Ancelotti has no such problems and may give a debut to the Brazilian Ramires.
