Tottenham Hotspur vs Stoke City
And they don’t come much more awkward than Stoke! This Sunday Spurs need to find a way to beat Mark Hughes’ well-drilled group.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men find themselves ten points behind leaders Chelsea, and that will probably be 13 by the time they kick off at 9:30 on Sunday. Premier League betting pundits tell us Spurs have no room for slip-ups.
In fact, they have a far better chance of picking up cup silverware, with a last eight home draw against Millwall in the FA Cup, cutting betting odds on a white Wembley celebration in May. But Spurs haven’t given up on the title quite yet and will be pleased to be back at the Lane after a draw at bottom club Sunderland and defeat to Liverpool in their last two away league matches.
They face a stern task against a Stoke team which won its own recent away game at Sunderland as part of a sequence of five games with just one defeat, taking Hughes’ side up to ninth.
But Harry Kane is in fine form for the hosts – an FA Cup hat-trick at Fulham writing last week’s headlines – and he has 14 league goals to his name. He’s scored three in the last two meetings between these teams, both won 4-0 by Spurs… but both in Stoke. The last clash at White Hart Lane, in August 2015 was a 2-2 draw.
Stoke will be a tough nut to crack again as only nine of their 25 games so far have yielded over 2.5 goals, and midfielder Joe Allen is top scorer with six. But Saido Berahino is loving life at in the Potteries and could be a threat if he really has rediscovered his mojo.
