Head to Head:

Stoke 1-0 Chelsea
Stoke 0-2 Chelsea
Stoke 3-2 Chelsea
Stoke 0-4 Chelsea
Stoke 0-0 Chelsea

As we see, the party, if it follows the same tone as in recent years, is quite hard for the Blues. I do not see a loose win by any chance, it will be quite contrary to a comfortable victory and I am sure that the Stoke even though they are not playing wins will come out to bite. If they go above they make it much easier for the Chelsea game, who has people up very fast and in the blink of an eye kills the game with a backlash.

In addition, on Sunday Manchester City will host Liverpool in the Ettihad and arrive tired as they have a match back from the Round of 16 UCL and if Chelsea can win and City does not do the same, To be able to say that the league will be for the London team.
