STOKE v CHELSEA

Stoke are hopeful of having striker Ricardo Fuller back in action when they host a dominant Chelsea at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday.

The Jamaican picked up a knee knock against Reading in the Carling Cup this week, but is expected to recover in time to face the Blues. Mamady Sibide is expected to make way for Fuller, while Ibrahima Sonko and Leon Cort are in competition for a place in the starting line up.

Chelsea to follow...

STOKE (from): Sorensen, Griffin, Cort, Sonko, Abdoulaye Faye, Higginbotham, Lawrence, Diao, Olofinjana, Delap, Kitson, Fuller, Sidibe, Cresswell, Simonsen, Whelan, Tonge, Wilkinson, Shawcross, Soares.
