Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma admits he's hoping Stoke City beat his parent club this weekend.

Zouma is on a season-long loan with the Potters but is ineligible to play against his parent club.

“It will be weird but I hope that we win this game," he said. “I am a Stoke City player so I hope we win this game.

“I'm very happy because I play a lot of games, but I can't be happy if we lose.

“I am only happy if the team is winning and doing well.

“Personally, I am happy at Stoke, but I want to be extra happy because we are winning games and that's why I am working hard."
