The Blues have never lost in four visits to the Britannia Stadium, however, they did draw most recently.
From the BBC:
The general feeling seems to be that Stoke will thrive this season. Already off to a winning start in Europe, the signings of Upson and Woodgate (although a fitness gamble) will add even more strength and quality to a more than decent squad, and Tony Pulis is far from done with his transfer business yet - even if he'd prefer his chairman Peter Coates to do it a little more stealthily!
Unless successful with their pursuit of Luka Modric, Chelsea look striker-heavy and midfield-light at the moment, and you can't help but think they'll need more additions than just the gifted Croatian to help their ageing band stage a genuine bid to regain the title.
New Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas says striker Fernando Torres has overcome mild concussion and should be okay to start.
Daniel Sturridge is suspended and David Luiz misses out with injury.
