We're going to Britannia Stadium for round 25 in the Premier League. Stoke City welcomes the draw experts Everton. Stoke manager Mark Hughes need to pick up some league points after a hectic period with league matches, Capital One Cup and FA Cup.
The home side is on a 10th in the league, with 5-2-4 homestats at Britannia. A 0-0 draw home against Arsenal was followed by a 3-0 loss away to Leicester, and last week a 3-0 loss away to Manchester United. In the meantime the red and white has been knocked out of the Capital One Cup after pentalties against Liverpool. Also the FA Cup are history after losing 1-0 away against Crystal Palace. Stoke has impressed at times in the league, and now they can continue consentration on the league. Have some injury problems in their squad, especially both centreback's Shawcross and Wollscheid are important absences. Ryan Shawcross has been really good and stable this season, and is one of the key players in the Stoke squad.
Injury list Stoke City:
Shay Given (goalkeeper)
Marc Wilson (defender)
Ryan Shawcross (defender)
Philipp Wollscheid (defender)
Geoff Cameron (defender)
Expected lineup Stoke City:
Butland
Johnson – Muniesa – Bardsley – Pieters
Whelan – Imbula
Shaqiri – Bojan – Arnautovic
Walters
Everton is the team in Premier League with most draws, but last week they showed their strengts with a great 3-0 win at home to Newcastle. Two of the goal came from penalties, and both scored by the young and promising Ross Barkley. Roberto Martinez's side sits on the place behind Stoke on the table, on 11th. The away stats shows 3-7-1. Lost the opporunity to play their localrivals Liverpool in the Capital One Cup final, after losing 3-1 to Manchester City in the semifinal. The blues from Liverpool are still playing in the FA Cup after beating Carlisle 0-3 in the last round. All are waiting for Everton to perform and stabilize themselfs, they've got a strong squad but are failing to deside even matches. Lukaku is still a big threat up top for Everton, the striker's got 15 goals in the league, 3 behind the Premier League topscorer Jamie Vardy (Leicester). Defensive absences for the away side as well, John Stones is the most important.
Injury list Everton:
Tim Howard (goalkeeper)
Tony Hibbert (defender)
Tyias Browning (defender)
John Stones (defender)
Muhamed Besic (midfield)
Expected lineup Everton:
Robles
Coleman – Jagielka – Mori – Baines
McCarthy – Barry
Lennon – Barkley – Cleverley
Lukaku
Exciting offensive players from start on both team, while important defensive players are out injured. Especially Muniesa at Stoke will have a big challenge in the duels and pressing in the middle spaces. At the same time Imbula will make his debut at the defensive midfield for Stoke, he's a strong player with a big work-rate. Imbula and Whelan will make the job difficult for the Everton midfield to create chances today. We find the value in this match at a draw, perhaps we'll see a few goals too. We bet on a draw at Britannia.
