Chelseas vs Stoke

Big Phil Scolari has described Stoke as the "best set piece team in the world". And, in recent times, his side have been the worst at defending them. Chaos in the defence and the dressing room saw little Southend dream of an upset against the mighty Russian giants before having their innocent hearts broken. Now, Scolari looks to take complete charge at the Bridge, telling players "if you want to go, go!" Cole and Deco will miss out for Chelsea - though Malouda and Carvalho return. Drogba may play defending on....how Scolari's feeling. Reports have also suggested Anelka is on Scolari's hit list for questioning tactics - as, according to ever-reliable fact merchant The Sun, is Carvalho. Maybe di Santo will be handed a start? Maybe Belleti will not be used as a super sub. The life and times of Scolari kicks off at 15:00.
