Stoke City defender Marc Wilson is already gearing up for their trip to Chelsea.

After a 1-1 draw against Roberto Mancini's City side yesterday, Stoke are now preparing for their trip to Stamford Bridge, intent on upsetting the odds yet again.

Wilson said: "We are a real blue-collar club. The manager does not want any big-time Charlies here. He puts his foot down right away.

"If you do well for him then he will look after you. He is a fair man but he can be tough if somebody steps out of line.

"We do well against the top teams and always want to beat them. The bigger the team, the more up for it we are."
