Chelsea vs. Stoke City: Live Player Ratings for the Blues

The FA Cup fourth-round magic continues as Jose Mourinho's Chelsea host Mark Hughes' Stoke City.

The Potters have a good recent record against the Blues but rarely fare well at Stamford Bridge, so will we see a veritable "Cupset," or will Eden Hazard and Co. roll on?

Here, we'll be grading the Chelsea players at the half-time and full-time intervals, so stay tuned and see if you agree with our thoughts!

Mark Schwarzer: Was baited into (wrongly) coming for a dangerous cross, but didn't have much to do overall.

Branislav Ivanovic: A quiet outing for the Serbian, who was rarely tested down the right and didn't get forward much.

David Luiz: Appeared to irritate Mourinho over and over again and struggled greatly with Peter Crouch.

Gary Cahill: Solid as always, titanic in the air.

Ashley Cole: Stoke favourited their right in attack but got little joy out of Cole. Offensively he was limited.

Nemanja Matic: Tidy on the ball and well organised off it. Looked right at home, a stunning signing.

Frank Lampard: Relatively decent in the centre, missed a sitter to double the lead, but looked solid enough.

Andre Schurrle: Looked a little rusty, but that's understandable. Ryan Shawcross superbly denied him a certain goal and he hit the post in the second half.

Oscar: Sensational from the Brazilian, scoring a genius free-kick to break the deadlock. Hit the post. Immense throughout.

Eden Hazard: A constant live-wire, not one Stoke player has any idea how to stop him and created many, many chances. Man of the Match.

Samuel Eto'o:  A threat in and around the box, good linking play, but a complete lack of deadliness in front of goal.

Ramires (sub): Got involved immediately after coming on and missed a good chance from two yards.
