PREDICTION
Tottenham have not won any of their last four Premier League outings as their season has taken a turn for the worse since beating Real Madrid. This weekend they entertain a Stoke side who have the second worst defensive record in the division. A Tottenham win is still likely, but they have also made the bookmakers very happy as of late so approach with caution.
MEMORABLE MEETING
Last season, Tottenham were in imperious form at White Hart Lane and the visit of Stoke back in February was no different. Mauricio Pochettino’s men made easy work of their opposition that afternoon as they recorded a third consecutive 4-0 win over the Potters.
