Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti says he'll continue to rotate his striker combinations.
He revealed he would persist with the policy and insisted he did not have a preferred forward partnership.
"The choices I make on it are down to the players' physical condition and the tactics," he said, declining to reveal who he had in mind for a Stoke team he refused to underestimate.
"If we want to play on the counter-attack, we'll use Anelka and Torres, players who can move quickly in front.
"When we need more power, we'll use Drogba."
