Stoke City vs Sunderland
I simply can’t allow Sunderland to go unbacked here, both sides have defensive injury issues but Sunderland for me are a better team than Stoke and i get the feeling Michael O’Neill the Stoke manager is one bad result away from losing his job so the whole Stoke set up does nto feel in a particularly good place at the moment. Sunderland have Centre half Ballard injured while another, Neil, is suspended so Matete will play at centre half, of course it is a negative but he has experience of playing a lot of league 1 football and with the greater goal treat i fancy Sunderland +0.25.
