Stoke travel to fortress Stamford Bridge this weekend for a FA Cup Quarter Final tie against cup holders, Chelsea knowing that they have the game to upset the ‘Blues’ and the potential to cause a shock. That said the Bookmakers think not and VC Bet for instance has Chelsea as resounding 2/7 odds on favourites to win, with the draw at 9/2 but they give Stoke fans and punters a very tempting 11/1 for a Stoke victory, which are odds that surely are worth getting stuck into.
Until they met with defeat last week against Arsenal, Tony Pulis’s men had gone on a ten match unbeaten run this year, which is form that would put doubts in any opposing team, including Chelsea, who after all have lost their last two games.
The two sides last met at the Britannia Stadium back in September where it took a Florent Malouda injury time goal to give Chelsea a 2-1 win in a match that could have gone either way. Stoke showed enough grit and determination in that game to force Chelsea boss, Carlo Ancelotti to take them very seriously this week and to put out their best possible team.
That team of course will include Frank Lampard, who got back to scoring ways last week, hitting a brace in the 2-4 defeat at the hands of Man City. Lampard is always a good bet to score a goal in any match and carries odds this week of 5/1 from Victor Chandler to score the opener.
We think that Stoke will ruffle Chelsea feathers this week, but they will find it hard to win the match, they have an outside chance of a draw but the prediction is for a Chelsea win, probably by a couple of goals at least. A 2-0 win looks a good Correct Score option to us, which can also be backed at 5/1.

As far as the FA Cup outright is concerned, Chelsea are very warm favourites to win at 11/10, while Stoke fans may want to snap up the 20/1 on offer for them to win the FA Cup for the first time in their long history.
