Stoke City (h) pre-match thread

[Luke The Blue]

Looks like they'll have a makeshift defence with Bruno Martins Indi and Ryan Shawcross both ruled out. Joe Allen is a major doubt too.

That's good.

I'm going 4 - 0 to us.

I don't think we should start rotating the team too much either. This match should be a priority, especially with the rags playing the dippers.

Bit of rotation,South American late returners get a rest with half an eye on Tuesday yet still a very strong side.

Would go with Gundogan over Toure and despite the South Americans coming back I still think Nico and Jesus will start over Mangala and Sterling.

I think this is the first league game that hasn't been on NBCSN or NBC, so hasn't been bad yet. It's the CL that we've gotten the shaft from here.

Yes, your right, this should be about 3 games now. They need to set it up where we pay for each game individually, or as a package for all premiere league games.

If I bring an inflatable shark will I get it into the ground?

I am a little nervous about this game, I guess I am still haunted by the ghost of last season

I'll never not be nervous about a City game.

Me neither. I only relax when we are in front by 3 clear goals! :-)

...with less than 5 minutes to go.

I think he starts. Especially considering Jesus played 90 minutes in Brazil Tuesday evening.

Is the City chippy open straight after the game?
