Stoke City vs Chelsea: Tactical analysis

Chelsea return to Premier League action this weekend and face a trip to the Bet365 Stadium against Stoke City on Saturday afternoon.

On Monday, Chelsea booked a place in the semi-final of the FA Cup with a 1-0 with over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. N’Golo Kante scored the only goal of the game to set up a Wembley semi against Tottenham.

Stoke were out of action this weekend, with their most recent fixture coming on 8 March, where they held Manchester City to a 0-0 draw at the Etihad Stadium.

The two clubs have already met once this season, with Chelsea coming out as 4-2 winners at Stamford Bridge. Goals from Gary Cahill, Diego Costa, and a Willian double gave Chelsea all three points. Bruno Martins Indi and Peter Crouch were on the scoresheet for the away side.

Ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League fixture against Stoke, we take a look at The Potters, and the possible threats they pose to Chelsea.
