Stoke are never easy for anyone to play, the only time they lost in 2010 was last weekend! Shawcross won't be playing since he is banned for 3 games because of his red card against Arsenal, but Stoke's two most obvious weapons are Delap's long throws and Fuller's annoying ability to cause trouble whenever he's anywhere near the goal. We havent lost 3 in a row in a long time now, but Stoke are no pushover and it's going to be as tough as any game. We've got loads of injuries and suspensions coming into this one as well, so not the most promising of situations! Hope Hilario is ready for this one as he will be needed to deal with crosses and throw ins a number of times

Hi, im from Cyprus and I absolutely loathe APOEL. Hope Chelsea batter them in Nicosia, and so they should. However somebody said something about the Cypriot 'whipping boys/chip shop owners' being nothing more than a pushover but if Chelsea become even a little bit complacent in Nicosia they might well be punished because Apoel are a solid team that has been progressing with the same players in the last few years. Either way, Chelsea should progress from this group, its really not the hardest in the world

Hi guys, I just registered at the forum I'm from Cyprus, but there's no way I'm supporting APOEL because to my team they are like Man Utd is to Chelsea and also Chelsea are simply above everyone else. Hope Chelsea score 7! Btw September has the best weather of the year
