Stoke City are on a three match unbeaten streak, picking up seven points from a possible nine, just when they were being sucked into the relegation scrap. With the prospect of dropping into the bottom three now totally unrealistic, they can finish the season on a confident high.
Stoke City vs. Tottenham Hotspur: Preview and TV schedule
Stoke’s recent form has moved them out of relegation trouble, and they’ll hope to upset the odds and scupper Tottenham’s Champions League dreams on Sunday.
If Spurs were to win they'd become only the fifth team to beat Stoke at the Britannia Stadium this season, and record their first win away in The Potteries for the first time in three visits. The last time they did win was August 2010, when a certain Gareth Bale scored a brace in a 2-1 victory.
Stoke still have Andy Wilkinson and Glenn Whelan doubtful, though they are Tony Pulis' only early concerns. Contrastingly, Sandro and Younes Kaboul -- who've been long-term injuries -- are unavailable again for Spurs. Mousa Dembélé could return from the hamstring problem which has kept him out of the last few games, while William Gallas will almost definitely be unavailable.
