Chelsea are set to play Stoke City up next in the Premier League. And, as we all know, Stoke are famous for their physical approach into the game. With Costa set to be out of action, Mourinho has Loic Remy and Didier Drogba in the bench to chose from for the game against Stoke. Remy is more of a pacy striker but Drogba’s physical presence could be handy with none of other Chelsea attackers physically sound.

Diego Costa has scored 19 Premier League goals in 23 game this season while other strikers Loic Remy and Didier Drogba have 4 and 3 goals each respectively. Remy has started 3 matches while he has come on as a sub in 12 occasions. Eden Hazard is the second in goalscoring lost for Chelsea as the winger has found the net 11 times in 29 attempts. Oscar has six goals in 24 games and stands third.
