Chelsea are a team that seems to have nothing at all wrong with it. Do they even need to buy anyone in January? It might just disrupt their rhythm, and they may we just prefer to cruise along. 

Today, I was really impressed by Stoke. But if you are going to take Chelsea on then you will have to play at 100% for the full 90 minutes. 

In the last quarter of an hour of the game the visitors were running on empty and in the end the Blues destroyed them.

So disappointing for Stoke after Crouch's goal.

To react like that from Chelsea encapsulates everything that Antonio Conte's management is about. That never-say-die spirit.

What an excellent reaction from Willian, who I think was their best player last season.

Jay: What has me completely baffled is how come we haven't yet seen a clanger of biblical proportions from David Luiz this season.

There's plenty of time yet, Jay.

If Chelsea do secure a record-equalling 13th successive top-flight win, they are guaranteed to head into 2017 in an even more commanding position because their two nearest challengers, Liverpool and Manchester City, must face each other later in the day.

Antonio Conte's side look so strong - consider the fact that key pair Diego Costa and N'Golo Kante weren't missed on Boxing Day when they sat out the victory over Bournemouth because of suspension.

You wouldn't give Stoke much chance. Their season has fallen into three parts: a poor start, resurgence and now no win in four.

It tells you something that midfielder Joe Allen is their top scorer with five goals. Manager Mark Hughes may well try and find a solution in the transfer window.

Chelsea striker Diego Costa and defensive midfielder N'Golo Kante are back in the first XI following their one-match suspensions.

Nemanja Matic is on the bench and Pedro is suspended.

Chelsea XI: Courtois, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Cahill, Moses, Kante, Fabregas, Alonso, Willian, Costa, Hazard.

Stoke make three changes to their starting XI.

Attacking midfielder Ibrahim Afellay makes his first start since April. Charlie Adam and Xherdan Shaqiri are also back in the side. Glenn Whelan and Gianelli Imbula are on the bench and Jon Walters is not included in the squad.

Stoke XI: Grant, Johnson, Shawcross, Martins Indi, Diouf, Affelay, Adam, Pieters, Allen, Shaqiri, Crouch.
