Arsenal held the Blues to a 0-0 draw on Super Sunday as Chelsea failed to score in a league game for the first time at home under Antonio Conte, which left them three points off early title pace-setters Manchester United and Manchester City.（周日同阿森纳的0：0平局是孔蒂执教切尔西以来第一次主场未能取得进球）

However, Chelsea have taken maximum points on the road this season, beating Tottenham and Leicester while showing a mix of determination and attacking skill.

Meanwhile, Stoke have failed to win in their last three games, including suffering a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle last weekend. However, they have already beaten a top-six side at the Bet365 Stadium when disposing of Arsenal 1-0.

Team news

Stoke boss Mark Hughes will be without three of his main centre-half options and possibly four for Saturday's Premier League clash.（斯托克城三名主力中卫可缺席本场比赛，也有可能是四名）

While on-loan Kurt Zouma is ineligible to face his parent club, Ryan Shawcross (back) and Geoff Cameron (hamstring) remain sidelined, and Kevin Wimmer is a doubt due to a hamstring problem of his own.（由于租借条款限制，祖玛不能上场。肖克洛斯和卡梅隆仍然处于观望状态，维摩尔疑似腿筋有问题）

Hughes, who is set to restore several regular starters after making six changes for the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, may opt to deploy Glen Johnson or fellow full-back Erik Pieters - or both - alongside Bruno Martins Indi in central defence.

Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard is expected to make his first Premier League start of the season.（阿扎尔有望本赛季第一次首发上阵）

Hazard has fully recovered from his broken ankle after three substitute appearances and one start, in the Carabao Cup win over Nottingham Forest.（阿扎尔已经完全恢复，联赛中三次替补登场以及联赛杯中作为首发登场）

Forward Pedro has recovered from the leg injury which saw him miss the Forest win, but defender David Luiz is suspended and midfielder Danny Drinkwater (calf) is out.（佩德罗也已经恢复，但是大为路易兹和德林克沃特将会缺席本场比赛）

Match stats

Stoke City have suffered 13 Premier League defeats against Chelsea in the Premier League; more than they have against any other opponent.（斯托克城在英超中13次败给切尔西，比英超其他任何球队都要多）

Chelsea have won seven of their last eight Premier League away matches (W7 D0 L1), scoring at least two goals in six of these wins.（切尔西在过去八场做客的比赛中赢下其中七场，其中六场比赛至少打进两球）

Chelsea need a point in this game to reach 1800 Premier League points (currently 1799) - only Arsenal (1829) and Manchester United (2034) have more in the competition.（切尔西只需一分就可以达到英超1800分积分大关，只有阿森纳和曼联比他们更多）

Stoke have only won one of their last 10 Premier League home games against the 'big six' clubs (D3 L6), however, they did record a win against Arsenal in their first home game of the season.（斯托克城最近十次面对英超BIG6球队只赢下其中一场，就是本赛季主场对阵阿森纳的比赛）

Chelsea have been given as many red cards in their last five Premier League games (3) as they had in their previous 73.

The Blues have also committed a league-high 68 fouls in the Premier League after five matchdays of 2017-18.

Mark Hughes will be facing Chelsea for the 24th time in the Premier League as a manager; he has lost more times (15) and conceded more goals (43) against the Blues than any other club.（马克休斯将要第二十四次面对切尔西，他已经输掉其中15场而且被打进43球，这要比他面对其他任何球队都要多）

Cesc Fabregas has provided seven Premier League assists against Stoke; only against Tottenham Hotspur has the Spaniard managed more in the competition (11).（法布雷加斯已经送出七次助攻在面对斯托克城的比赛中）

Willian has scored four Premier League goals against Stoke City; more than he has against any other opponent in the competition.（威廉在对阵斯托克城的比赛中打进四球，比对阵其他球队都要多）

Xherdan Shaqiri and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting have combined to create nine goalscoring chances for one another in the Premier League this season - only Spurs' Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen (10) have combined more often.（沙奇里和舒波莫廷已经在本赛季英超联赛中创造出九次进球机会，只有热刺的凯恩和埃里克森比他们更多）

Merson's prediction

Chelsea were poor against Arsenal - bar the Pedro chance they didn't create much - and it just highlighted how much they miss a fully-fit Eden Hazard.

This is a match they have to win because they cannot give the two Manchester teams any more of a head-start. If they lose at Stoke and City win, that's a six-point gap in September.（这是一场切尔西必须要赢下的比赛，如果他们输掉同斯托克城的比赛，他们将要落后曼彻斯特两支球队六分的差距）

I have been disappointed in Stoke this season, the Newcastle game was a bad result. But what really gets me is they lost 2-0 to Bristol City in the Carabao Cup. That's a joke.（我对本赛季斯托克城的表现感到失望，对阵纽卡斯尔的结果不好，但是真正让我感到惊讶的是他们联赛杯中0：2输给布里斯托尔城，这真是个笑话）

Stoke aren't going to challenge for the league and they aren't getting relegated. It's another mid-table season. So why not go for it in the cup? It was a shocker.（斯托克城注定还是一个中庸的赛季，不会降级欧战也没有希望，所以他们为什么放弃杯赛呢？）

PAUL PREDICTS: 1-3

保罗预测：斯托克城1：3切尔西

竞彩推荐：负
