Stoke 0 City 3 is my prediction....
My hope is....
Stoke 0 City 26, with Charlie Adam being injured and missing the rest of the season/decade
 
It could be one of those weekends when all rivals win and we drop points. We have the trickiest game imo, everyone else has an easy game unless they fuck up big time.

Last time we were before a CL game Pelle looked like didnt give a shit about Pool and team selection and may have prioritized the Juve game ..., hope now we will pay attention and try to make sure they wont score because I think thats they way to win away league games, get the fucking clean sheet.

We score lot less away from home, home goal/game avg is 2.9, away from home is 1,16 only, we scored 7 goals in 6 PL away games. We struggle to score as it seems so we need to make sure we dont have to score 2-3 goals to win the game but only 1 should be enough.

To me under 2.5 goals seems good bet on this game. (and then its gonna be 2-3 or 3-3 lol.)
 
Had we won at Villa I think a draw today would have been acceptable,but we really need to win this. The last 3 away performances have been very poor bar an average display at the swamp.

Normally get a coach in but got to drive today and i know the Britannia is shit for traffic, any tips on where to Park up blues?

follow the signs to the britannia & come off the A500 at the same junction,
but instead of turning left onto the A50, go straight over the roundabout & follow the road round back over the bridge...
look for "campbell road" on your map or satnav,
all the locals park up there on the roadsides, no parking meters or owt.
it's a five minute walk back over the bridge and canal, just follow the crowds.
 
Stoke is a tough game at the best of times. With the Britannia stadium at the centre of a gale, it's 50/50 and who deals with the conditions best. Just as long as you don't expect flowing football because you wont get it today. It will be similar story for many games today, but none worse than this game because their ground is open in the corners.
 
A draw wouldn't be a bad result in the circumstances, with the weather and our injury problems. Think we're in for a very tough game.
 
Yaya isnt playing so you'll at least control the game in the middle, also the pace and flow.

I'll be dissapointed if Kelechi does'nt start the game,Bony is to static

As I rate Kelechi much more a super sub than Bony I would clearly start Bony. He just needs to work harder and use his physical strength. After 60-70 minutes it's time for Kelechi to bring on some speed and greed for the decisive minutes.

Our lineup however won't look like a draw to me. Silva and KDB will take care for a goal or two. Enough for 3 pts.
 
This has got draw written all over it. Looking at the conditions it will suit Stoke more. Guarantee the ball will be in the air into our box at the soonest opportunity when they've got the ball, whilst we tippy tappy about on the edge of the box waiting for something to happen.

If play clichy on the left today and that's my team too.
 
This is exactly the type of scenario where a title winning team would step up and get the 3 pts by hook or by crook.

Horrible opposition, pure injuries, shit weather conditions and a CL game round the corner.

Let's see what we're made of.
