Stoke City receives Saturday afternoon Crystal Palace at home and will certainly want to resume his hunt for the top ten again. But Crystal Palace can afford nothing but a victory.
Stoke City
Stoke City skipper a little between the top and the bottom half of the rankings. Currently there is just outside Stoke; the current eleventh place is just one point away from tenth place. Watford is common tenth, and that team has one point more than Stoke. Stoke, however, knows that a victory at Watford Manchester United is very unlikely, and that means that Stoke in a win over Crystal Palace makes an excellent chance to get into the top ten again.
Last weekend Stoke lost the away match against West Bromwich Albion. In the first half Stoke had much trouble with the fast pace that The Baggies wielded Stoke and stood up on a 1-0. That goal against was, moreover, already accepted after six minutes. In the second half Stoke took the initiative of West Brom and based on that half Stoke had definitely deserved a point, but then you have the opportunities you do get off, and Stoke just say failed.
Anyway Stoke had at least got to play football again, and that gives us confidence for the match against Crystal Palace this weekend. What also gives us confidence is the fact that Stoke lost only one of his last ten games in-house. However, Stoke four of his last five home games played right, but with opponents like Manchester United (1-1) and Everton (1-1) is not so very strange. It shows at least that also form teams in it heavily in the Bet365 Stadium.

Crystal Palace
Sam Allardyce has a good reputation when it comes to maintaining teams for relegation from the Premier League, but in the meantime he is also ‘just’ to degrade with the Eagles. His team currently has to deal nineteen points, one less than number eighteen Hull and two less than number seventeen Swansea City. A victory at Stoke would therefore be more than welcome at Palac, just like last weekend against Sunderland was very welcome.
The 0-4 defeat at Palace last weekend against Sunderland is very painful. Sunderland may not lose a direct competitor of Crystal Palace and such a clash. That will be Sam Allardyce also have known, but he has failed to prepare for his defensive team in this clash. Palace was already behind 0-1 early and appeared to seize the initiative, but Sunderland made within six minutes of the 0-2, 0-3 and 0-4. Those six minutes of total misorganisatie at Crystal Palace has undoubtedly cost the team the game.
Such a defeat is not you sit in the cold clothes and ensures that the confidence was gained after the 0-2 victory at AFC Bournemouth weather has completely crumbled. Palace lost as many as five of his last six league games and won anyway but one of his last ten matches in the Premier League. However Palace lost only two of his last five matches on foreign soil.
Probable lineup Crystal Palace
