Match Thread Stoke City v Everton 1/2/17 KO 8pm GMT

If we are level with 30 mins to go, I fancy us to finish strongly and get the points. The clubs directly above us have got a couple of 'easy' games coming up, we really need to win this.

I reckon we will win 2-1 but Berahino is nailed on for first goal.

Going to be a dog fight this one, I reckon he may put Davies on the bench to protect him. I dislike Stoke and loathe Hughes, one game I'd love to win.

Last time we payed these we got lucky with a Shay Given header.
In many ways, the toughest game of the season so far.

Always a scruffy game this, apart from Robertos little extravaganza, 0-2 the Blues.

Let's hope it's not tougher than Chelsea.

We should at least get a kick - at the ball, that is.

But can Davies survive a cold rainy day in St- OF COURSE HE CAN

For those travelling where's the best place to park? Seen a few places on the Stoke site pretty close to the ground that seem alright.

I usually park in Eastern Rise off Stanley Matthews Way. £5 I think and a short walk to ground. Normally in the rain.

Is there anywhere to park where it isn't raining? And do you have to pay more for no rain?

 

[Muggins]

It's the actual cliche fixture..away at Stoke on a cold, windy, and no no doubt wet Wednesday night.

Welcome to the big time..!

Let's see what we're really made of ay.

Lucky 1-1, or 1-0 loss. Sorry blues but we're always crap against Stoke when it's cold.

If we can put in an performance like last year i'd be buzzing. Not sure how stoke will approach this game if they go for us it may play into our hands as we've been a good counter attacking side over the years. Coleman and Baines bombing forward and packed out midfield should be too much for them. Their new striker is probably not match fit so we could see play stretched out wide.

Same team for me but i'd swap Barry for Mccarthy if fit.

It might be a match for mccarthy alright. Barry can dish it out but legs might be 3 seconds behind his brain for for this hectic mayhem
