Stoke vs Manchester City Preview
Stoke come into this game on the back of three draws. Their inability to pick up wins lately has left them second-bottom of the table and in real danger of playing in the Championship next term. Following Monday night’s clash with City, Stoke are scheduled to line up against Everton, Arsenal, and Tottenham followed by Liverpool three weeks after. They have a tough run of games leading up to the end of the season and Paul Lambert needs to find points from somewhere to climb out of the bottom three.
The Potters have picked up just one win in their last eleven games. They’ve had chances over the last few weeks to pick up maximum points but have been unable to finish teams off. Against Brighton, Charlie Adam missed a penalty in the 90th minute to secure a win and they were unable to hold onto the lead against Leicester a week later after a poor error by goalkeeper Jack Butland meant they left with just a point. Without those two errors, Lambert’s side could be 13th in the table and in a much safer position to what they are now.
Stephen Ireland, Mame Biram Diouf and Lee Grant all remain out injured for Stoke. Ryan Shawcross and Peter Crouch could make their return to the starting lineup after starting the 0-0 draw against Southampton last week on the bench.
Manchester City were beaten by Basel at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening in the Champions League. Although the result didn’t affect things with City proceeding to the next round with a 5-2 aggregate score, it was their first home defeat of the season for Guardiola’s side. He’ll be eager not to make it two defeats in a row but may be slightly concerned that his side has only won one of their last four league games on the road. Defeat to Liverpool and draws against Crystal Palace and Burnley were disappointing for City fans but they did bounce back last week with a 3-0 win away to Arsenal.
A lot of City’s players were rested for the defeat to Basel given they had progression to the next round all but secured given their 4-0 victory in the first leg. Therefore, Guardiola should have fresh legs in the majority of his regulars and will look to get back to winning ways by fielding a full-strength team. Benjamin Mendy, Raheem Sterling and Fernandinho are all close to recovery but Guardiola may opt to rest the trio for another week.

Stoke vs Manchester City Predictions
Paul Lambert has managed to put a halt on the defeats at Stoke by claiming three draws in their last three matches but he will be disappointed his side weren’t able to pick up wins in at least two of those. They’re up against one of the strongest sides in the world on Monday and the Potters are going to find it tough to contain the likes of Aguero, Sane and Silva in attack. City won this fixture 4-1 last season and we wouldn’t be surprised to see a similar scoreline on Monday. They also thrashed Stoke 7-2 earlier in the season at the Etihad, showing what they are capable of going forward. Pep Guardiola’s side have won 24 of their last 27 league matches and we can’t see them slipping up here. An away win is fully expected and if they can put three past Arsenal away from home, inflicting a similar defeat on second-bottom Stoke surely can’t be out of reach.

The most recent meeting between these two sides was at the Etihad Stadium where we saw a nine-goal thriller as City triumphed to a 7-2 victory. Three first-half goals and four in the second showed what Pep Guardiola’s men are capable of.
