Yep same side.

Confidence is up so hopefully a nice 3pts but Stoke will be tough.

2-1 City.

Big test this one. Confidence should be high and work rate will be 200% more then we put in last season so no reason we shouldn't get a result. I'd only change Sagna from today's team.

Our passing game will be affected by the winds. Expecting a draw at best.

Where's Sterling?

With his sisters?

Whatever happens it can't be any worse than that shambles last season where the came was effectively over after 15 mins.

Last night was a great warm up game.

Glad its away early in the season..Stoke are usually slow starters and were abysmal vs Boro..A relavitely comfortable win not necessarily a thumping.

This could be another slog like Sunderland. Moyes admitted he set up to stop us playing football and I'd expect the same from Hughes. Not that it matters after Liverpool won the title last week ;-)

Never been to Stoke before. Do most Blues walk from the Rail station?
