Five reasons why Stoke and Man City may share the spoils
Stoke/Man City, 12.45pm, Sky Sports 1, Free Bets, Best Odds
It looks like Manchester City are started to turn the corner while Stoke’s early season dominance at the Britannia Stadium has started to dwindle. However, they should still be capable of taking a point off the billionaires:
1. Manchester City are on a four match unbeaten run in the league - the first time they have gone more than two games without defeat in over a year - but still haven’t won a domestic away game since August.
2. Mark Hughes’ side have drawn three of their last four league matches on the road.
3. Last season Manchester City failed to do the double over any of last season’s bottom five. They won 3-0 against the Potters earlier this season.
4. Stoke have lost just one of their last eight league home games and have only been beaten at the Britannia Stadium by clubs in the top six.
5. However, they have gone nine league games without a win and have drawn three of their last four home games.

I have picked City in our works Punters bet. My buffoon of a colleague (James “misses being a student” Murphy) believes our bet should be changed due to your Stats.
Let’s see how confident he is in your Stats, I’ll offer him Stoke and the draw at even Money.
I’ll respond to you if he takes up the offer!

Good luck. We’ll look forward to hearing from you again even if it is to gloat. Just make sure your colleague knows it’s Rory Delap’s fault rather than ours if his wallet is a little lighter next week!

Listen Junior “During the war” Green, I do not accept your offer as I can get better odds at the bookies. It’s all about the research, that’s why I’ve a 100% record while you are only 1 for 3. Pull your socks up Junior (if you can reach them without doing your back in)!
