Stoke vs Everton: Preview and Prediction

Saturday 17th March 2018

England Premier League
Saturday 17th March 2018
Kick off at 3pm GMT
Venue: Bet365 Stadium

Match Preview:

After several seasons in the Premier League Stoke City’s status looks questionable and they come into this tough encounter with Everton in 19^th position. The club are in a poor run of form with just 1 win this year coming against Huddersfield 2-0 back in January.

Home ground is usually a fortress for the club but they have just one win in their past five games and have lost 6 of their 15 games played in front of their fans. Everton look safe now after beating Brighton at Goodison Park last weekend. That win put the club on 37 points and in 9^th place and they are 10 points ahead of their hosts for this game.

The huge problem for the Toffee men has been their away form which has seen them win just 1 league game away from home all season and have the 2^nd poorest away record in the league.
