Preview: Tottenham Hotspur will go into today’s clash with Stoke hoping to keep up the pressure on Manchester United in second place. Stoke are always very strong whenever it comes to their home matches in the Premier League but Spurs have rather had a very good record against Stoke at the Britannia Stadium compared to the other travelling sides. Spurs have won 2-1 in their last two visits to Stoke in the league and will hope to continue that run to stay solidly in the top four of the Premier League. The London club are in fine form at the moment and should they avoid defeat today they will extend their unbeaten league run to 12 games which would be their best since the 1984-85 season. However, Stoke are no pushovers and they are renowned for strong defensive displays at home. While this reputation was dented last month by home defeats to Newcastle and then QPR, they have won their last two Premier League games and have shown impressive form in Europe recently.
Plus Tottenham old boy Peter Crouch will no doubt feel he has a point to prove to former manager Harry Redknapp when he faces his former team in Stoke shirt. Wilson Palacios, Johnathan Woodgate and Matthew Etherington are also set to face their former club. Prediction for this match is a 1-1 draw.
