Manchester City are coming into this match on the back of a moral boosting result against Chelsea in the midweek, as they managed to grab a 2-1 win over Chelsea in the league after going down 1-0 and they came back in the last 16 minutes of the match to win it 2-1 which shows that they have what it takes to be a Champion. They will have to be at their best and play some solid football to beat Stoke City at their home ground.
IF we look at the past 5 meetings between the two sides we will see that Manchester City have been very dominant in the last 3 games as they won all of them, before that 1 was a draw while 1 Stoke won couple of years ago. This will surely be a great game and Man City can win three points and open up a 2 points lead at the top of the table as Manchester United will be playing their game later in the week. So you can tune in here to get the live updates and match highlights of the game here after the match is over.
