Check in to Chelsea vs Stoke City
Mark Schwarzer v Peter Crouch
Any team that faces Stoke City knows they will face a physical battle – particularly in the air.
There are ten members of the Potters playing squad over 190 cm, or 6’3″, and Peter Crouch is the tallest of all of them at 201 cm (approximately 6’7″).
41 year-old goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer is a huge 196 cm (6’5″) but even he is dwarfed by the former England forward.
Despite Stoke manager Mark Hughes attempting to evolve the Potters’ playing style, at some point in the match Chelsea and Schwarzer can expect to be on the receiving end of an aerial bombardment.
