What They're Saying

Stoke City manager Mark Hughes (via Yahoo Sport): "I think more and more these days there is more skill in it [diving], with players prepared to go down to gain an advantage even when there has been absolutely no contact whatsoever. That is incorrect, and should not happen. There is a grey area in terms of players having contact and players just going down without any, so that is what needs stamping out."

Chelsea manager Eden Hazard (via the Guardian): "I think he [Eden Hazard] can become one of this club's all-time greats. I think so, but he needs to win titles because titles make players historic. I don't know players who are considered legends in clubs without winning titles. He has to do that. But the potential, everybody knows."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Hazard has nine goals across all competitions. Always a threat on the ball, the 23-year-old is averaging 6.1 take-ons and 2.5 key passes.

Stoke City's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Begovic; Pieters, Wilson, Shawcross, Bardsley; N'Zonzi, Cameron; Diouf, Bojan, Walters; Crouch

Chelsea's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Luis, Terry, Cahill, Ivanovic; Fabregas, Matic; Hazard, Oscar, Wilian; Costa
