Chelsea can extend their winning streak to 13 games with a victory over Mark Hughes’s Stoke at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. With the kind of form the Blues are in, they look invincible right now. The likes of Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal all won in the last game week but unless Chelsea loses a game, the title race is unlikely to get it’s life back.
Antonio Conte’s boys are on the top of their game at the moment and it seems very unlikely that Stoke City can make them struggle.
Chelsea have already recorded their best ever winning streak in the League and now their eyes will on Arsenal’s 14-game winning streak. With Diego Costa and N’Golo Kante back from suspension, the Blues will have almost their best side against Stoke City.
Even without two of their most important players, they found it no hard to beat Bournemouth 3-0 on the Boxing Day. Stoke City lost to Liverpool 4-1 on Tuesday despite taking the lead and Hughes will be adamant to finish the calendar year with an inspiring victory over the league leaders.
Here is our Predicted 3-4-3 Chelsea Lineup Vs Stoke City.
Defence
Thibaut Courtois has been the best keeper in the Premier League this season with ease and will be looking to get another clean sheet. He ha not conceded in the last four games although the back three also is responsible for that.
Chelsea hardly gets exploited defensively and even if they do, they know that there is a certain Courtois under the bar.
Chelsea’ back three will be Cesar Azpilicueta, David Luiz and Gary Cahill with the armband. The Chelsea defence looks impenetrable at the moment and Stoke will find it hard to break them down.
