Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is wary of facing Stoke City today.

Mourinho has great respect for the work of Mark Hughes at Stoke.

"It's a difficult team. Everybody knows the way they play, I don't need to try and explain what everybody knows.

"They are difficult opponents and that's why they are where they are... no problems to stay in the Premier League.

"They know each other very well. The manager has been there a couple of years, has the same players and it's very stable."
