Stoke vs Manchester City
English Premier League, 20h45
These two have met on Saturday in Eastlands where it finished 1-1 in the FA Cup. That means it will be replayed next Wednesday. For this match Stoke will be without Matthew Etherington, their best player in my eyes. The Potters have lost just one of their last 10 games at home.
City are not very good when they travel and will have to do without Tevez, Bellamy and Kompany. Still, the Sky Blues will have to win if they are to pose a great threat for Arsenal and Liverpool this season. It will be a high-tempo physical game, which I fancy. Manchester City have won 5 of their last 6 games against Stoke. Adebayor has netted in all of the last three games, after scoring just twice in the last previous four months.
I tip Manchester City to win, at 3/2.
