Thing is though....
I don't think there is a team in this league that is capable of both keeping it very tight at the back, and also scoring a lot of goals. If there was, they'd be top of the league by miles.
So I struggle to see how Stoke will manage to keep it tight and smash 3 in our net (freak night aside where every shot they have goes in, which is always a possibility).
That in mind, it'll go one of two ways, they pack the midfield and try and stifle us, backing themselves to take the chance when it comes.
Or, they'll stick with their strategy of going for it, backing themselves to out score us.
If I was their manager, I'd probably go for the former.
