Another clean sheet at home to Chelsea comes at (4.32) with SportyBet. Mark Hughes' men have also lost once out of their last twelve Premier League matches at home, so they go with confidence into the tie.

Chelsea are 10 points clear at the top of the table after just one loss since the middle of September, and Antonio Conte will aim to become the first coach to leave the bet365 Stadium with three points in a Premier league match since November 19.

The Blues who have lost just one of their last twenty-two matches in all competitions, are tipped as favourites by SportyBet to take all three points against the Potters at odds of (1.60), after getting the better of Manchester United in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The hosts can be backed at (5.77) with SportyBet to claim an incredible win against Conte's team. Two of Chelsea's last three Premier League away matches ended in stalemate and the same firm offers (3.96) that the match follows that direction.

Stoke have had the better of the last four fixtures between the two teams, losing just once, although Chelsea did claim a 4-2 triumph at Stamford Bridge on New Year's Eve and the betting firm offers (1.80) that both teams score once again in this fresh encounter.

Nine out of the Potters' last ten home matches has seen no more than three goals scored, while no team in the top half of the Premier League table has scored fewer goals than Stoke City. The trend is offered by SportyBet to continue at odds of (1.29).

The Blues have kept a clean sheet in no fewer than thirteen of their Premier League games so far this season and the league leaders can be backed at (1.94) with SportyBet to keep another clean sheet in this tie, but better value may lie in the (2.29) quote from the same betting firm for Chelsea to win without conceding, with six out of Chelsea's last seven away games against Stoke in all competitions ending that way.

Sadio Berahino playing would be a huge boost to Stoke City, if he gets a second chance to net his first goal as a Stoke player. He is backed at odds of (3.90) to score in this encounter

For Chelsea, Diego Costa will be eager to get on the scoresheet after dropping to third place in the race for the Premier League's golden boot. He is tipped to score anytime at (1.90)
