Venue: Bet365 Stadium
Match Preview:
Stoke are in 19th position and have two games to save their season. It’s almost over for them even if they get a win at the weekend but they have battled hard near the end. Although the Potters have not won recently they have drawn their last 3 games which included going to Anfield, keeping Mohamed Salah quiet, and coming away with a 0-0 result.
Now Stoke will entertain Crystal Palace knowing that they will need to win the game in what has become their own cup final. However, the club will need to change fortunes around, at home they have won 5 games all season and have no wins in their last five. The only positive news is that losses against the likes of Tottenham and Manchester City have been by small goal margins.
Crystal Palace’s brilliant form has seen them go the last 4 games unbeaten and they have moved into 11th position which seemed unthinkable a month ago. The Eagles flew high last weekend when they destroyed Leicester 5-0 and this superb result has more or lessed guaranteed the club Premier League survival.
Away from home the club have lost 9 games but this is all about recent form and they have gone the last 3 games on the road without defeat.
