Chelsea boss, Jose Mourinho has said that his side's game against Stoke City in the Barclays Premier League game is a going to be a difficult one.
However he believes that they can defeat their opponents in the game to remain top of the English Premier League table.
The Portuguese called for his side to deal with what he sees as a dual threat from Mark Hughes' team.
"They are a good and difficult side," said Mourinho . "They have that important base that Tony Pulis gave them: physicality, set-pieces, aggressive, direct. This was the base of their success since they came to the Premier League.
"In the last couple of years with Mark Hughes, without losing that identity, he has brought some of his own ideas, some players that can have more than that physicality.
"We have to go there and play our game but we know well their qualities as a team and their qualities individually and we have also to adapt to it."
