Chelsea are the only of the top 3 teams in the EPL left in the FA Cup and the favorites to win the competition. Stoke City have knocked off two of the favorites in consecutive rounds, beating Arsenal in the 4th round and Manchester City in the 5th round. Stoke has never won an FA Cup but has reached the semifinals two times. They play a disciplined style and been able to survive in the EPL by grinding out draws and one goal victories. Manager Tony Pulis does not have the talent of depth of Chelsea but there’s little doubt they will match the Blues in effort and work rate. Stoke will be without Ryan Shawcross who was suspended for a red card in his previous match. Chelsea are looking to repeat as FA Cup Champions and have won five overall. Michael Ballack and Juliano Belletti will both miss the match due to suspension, Jose Bosingwa is also out, and Richard Carvalho is doubtful.
