Chelsea take on Stoke City at Stamford Bridge this Saturday following their Champions League draw with Juventus earlier this week.

Chelsea switch their attentions back to the Premier League as they focus on snatching maximum points from Stoke City at Stamford Bridge this weekend.

Roberto Di Matteo's side, who dropped a 2-0 lead to draw with Juventus in the Champions League last night, failed to find the net last weekend in a goalless encounter with Queens Park Rangers.

Stoke are yet to clinch a win this season and Tony Pulis's side will be determined to grab their first three points of the campaign away to the North London outfit.

While Blues new boy Oscar impressed with two goals against Juventus this week, the Brazilian youngster is unlikely to make the starting XI, while Juan Mata and Eden Hazard should provide service to striker Fernando Torres.

Meanwhile, summer signing Michael Owen could feature for the Potters but Pulis may place the former Manchester United forward on the bench, while Peter Crouch is expected to lead the line.

Recent form:

Chelsea: WWWD
Stoke: DDDD

Possible lineups:

Chelsea: Cech; Ivanovic, Luiz, Terry, Cole; Mikel, Lampard; Mata, Bertrand, Hazard; Torres

Stoke: Begovic; Wilkinson, Shawcross, Huth, Wilson; Walters, Whelan, Nzonzi, Adam, Kightly; Crouch

Sports Mole says: 2-0
