EPL: Stoke City vs Tottenham Hotspur - A statistical preview

Stoke-

Mark Wilson is doubtful for the game after he was forced off at half time in the 1-1 draw with Sunderland with a hamstring injury.

Andy Wilkinson and Glenn Whelan missed the previous match and may start against Tottenham.

Stoke are 6 points clear of the relegation zone and their Premier League status for the coming season is confirmed.

Tottenham-

Mousa Dembele is expected to be back in the squad after he missed out the game against Chelsea in the mid-week.

Emmanuel Adebayor had a great game against Chelsea and is expected to start.

Tottenham are undefeated in 9 of their last 10 away matches in the Premier League.

Tottenham have scored at least 2 goals in their last 5 away matches in the Premier League.

What’s at stake?

Although Stoke are six points clear of the drop zone, it’s important that they win the remaining two games. If Stoke manage to secure at least one point today, it would cement their place in the Premier League for the next season.

Tottenham’s draw with Chelsea has not helped their hopes of achieving Champions League qualification. After Chelsea’s win against Aston Villa on Saturday, it’s a must-win game for Spurs if they want European action in the next season. Tottenham have not won their last 4 games against the Potters, and are desperate for a win.
